How to Make Your Jeep® Parts Last

Mopar® OEM parts are designed with longevity in mind. Nevertheless, to ensure maximum performance mile after mile, invest in routine maintenance from a professional at the Brown’s Elkader Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM service center. Here are ways you can get the most use of your Jeep parts. 

Follow Routine Maintenance Guidelines 

Maintenance intervals will vary depending on the specific part. Jeep air filters, for example, require a replacement every 30,000 miles. However, you may require a replacement sooner if you use your Jeep vehicle for high-stress adventures like off-roading. 

Be Mindful of Abnormalities 

Be cognizant of anything that feels out of the ordinary when you’re driving around this summer. If there’s a vibration in the cabin, squealing noise, stiff steering, or abnormal sounds while braking, watch out! These are signs that one or more parts are not working properly, and you should make an appointment with your local dealership’s service department right away. 

Pay Attention to the Dashboard Lights 

Learn what each dashboard icon means. An exclamation mark inside a horseshoe-like shape, for example, indicates low tire pressure.  

Continuing to drive and ignoring one or more dashboard icons will only exacerbate an existing problem. Ignoring the tire pressure light, for instance, will lead to accelerated tread wear, decreased fuel economy, and a risk of a tire blowout. 

Avoid Aftermarket Parts 

Always opt for Mopar® OEM parts when replacing a Jeep component. Aftermarket parts may not be 100% compatible. The part itself will not likely last as long, and it could also affect the performance of your car’s other parts.
