Importance of Regular Maintenance
Regular maintenance is vital for the performance and longevity of all vehicles. However, regular maintenance at the suggested intervals is even more crucial for off-road-ready configurations like the Jeep Gladiator to maintain peak functionality amidst challenging terrain and external environmental factors like dust, dirt, and rust. According to the owner's manual, Jeep recommends a detailed outline of routine maintenance services at specific mileage intervals. These mileage intervals are based on a 30-60-90 schedule, meaning certain parts, filters, and fluid levels must be inspected and replaced every 30,000, 60,000, and 90,000 miles. Some services will require maintenance more often than the 30-60-90 schedule, like oil changes, tire rotations, air filter replacements, and brake inspections and replacements, which typically happen between 5 and 15,000 miles, depending on the make and model.
Jeep Gladiator Maintenance Schedule
30,000 miles: Every 30,000 miles, schedule Jeep Gladiator maintenance to inspect the transfer case fluid, replace the engine air cleaner filter, and change the manual transmission fluid.
60,000 miles: Every 60,000 miles, the belts, valves, and hoses should be inspected and replaced, if necessary. Around this time, our technicians recommend replacing the spark plugs, installing new tires, and testing the battery. Most batteries typically last three to five years or around 50,000 to 60,000 miles.
Jeep Gladiator Maintenance 60,000-100,000 Miles
Once your Jeep Gladiator surpasses 60,000 miles, routine maintenance is more important than ever to keep your vehicle running smoothly. Around this time, your car may be paid off, and you can invest more time and money into vehicle maintenance and care.
75,000 miles: At 75,000 miles, it is time to flush and replace the power steering fluid in your Jeep Gladiator. If you start to notice that your steering wheel feels heavy or sounds noisy when turning, that's a sign the power steering fluid needs to be replaced.
90,000 miles: At 90,000 miles, change all rubber hoses if needed. It is essential to monitor the rubber hoses on your Jeep Gladiator, because as rubber ages, cracks can form and affect performance.
100,000 miles: Once you reach 100,000 miles, you can add high-mileage coolants and spark plugs to help extend the life of your Jeep Gladiator. We also recommend scheduling a vehicle inspection to assess critical components that may start to fail once you reach high mileage.

Do Your Part for Successful Travels
Routine maintenance is essential for a Jeep Gladiator. However, there are things you can do to help keep your Jeep in excellent condition.Â
- Let your car warm up before driving off. This will give the fluids a moment to start flowing before you jump into action.
- Keep your car clean. Having your car cleaned and waxed every so often keeps it looking nice and free from external debris like dirt, leaves, bugs, and more. This protects your car's paint and prevents rust or corrosion on its body panels.
- Don't ignore the small things. Miniscule problems can snowball quickly if you don't give them proper attention. Have your Jeep Gladiator checked by one of our expert technicians when you notice something that seems off.
