  • Every 15,000 miles: Replace engine air filter, inspect cooling system, inspect and possibly replace cabin air filter.
  • Every 30,000 miles: Transmission and transfer case fluids inspection (replace if necessary), inspect CV joints and front suspension, replace spark plugs if equipped (refer to Owner’s Manual for specific intervals).
  • Every 50,000 miles: Inspect and service differential fluid, inspect brake linings, hoses, and parking brake operation.
  • Every 100,000 miles: Replace spark plugs (most engines), inspect and possibly replace timing belts, comprehensive multi-point inspection.
