CLASSIFICATION OF LUBRICANTS
Lubricating fluids and chassis lubricants are clas-
sified according to standards recommended by the:
²Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
²American Petroleum Institute (API)
²National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI)
ENGINE OIL
API CERTIFICATION MARK
For maximum engine protection during all driving
conditions, install an engine oil that contains the API
Certification Mark (Fig. 2). The API Certification
Mark indicates that the oil is certified to meet the
most critical requirements established by the manu-
facturer.
Conformance to API specifications is determined by
tests that measure the ability of an oil to control:
²Engine wear.
²Bearing corrosion.
²Sludge.
²Varnish.
²Oil thickening.
²Rust.
²Piston deposits.
SAE VISCOSITY GRADE
An SAE viscosity grade is used to specify the vis-
cosity of engine oil. SAE 30 specifies a single viscos-
ity engine oil. Engine oils also have multiple
viscosities. These are specified with a dual SAE vis-
cosity grade which indicates the cold-to-hot tempera-
ture viscosity range.
API SERVICE GRADE CERTIFIED
The API Service Grade specifies the type of perfor-
mance the engine oil is intended to provide. The API
Service Grade specifications also apply to energy con-
serving engine oils.
Use an engine oil that is API Service Grade Certi-
fied or an oil that conforms to the API Service Grade
SH or SH/CD. MOPAR provides engine oils that con-
form to all of these service grades.
GEAR LUBRICANTS
A dual grade is also used to specify the viscosity of
multi-purpose gear lubricants.
The API grade designation identifies gear lubri-
cants in terms of recommended usage.
CHASSIS COMPONENT AND WHEEL BEARING
LUBRICANTS
The chassis and wheel bearing lubricants that are
recommended are identified by the NLGI Certifica-
tion Symbol. The symbol contains a coded designa-
tion. This identifies the usage and quality of the
lubricant.
The letter G within the symbol designates wheel
bearing lubricant. The letter L designates chassis lu-
bricant. When the letters are combined, the lubricant
can be used for dual applications. Use only lubricants
that display the NLGI Certification Symbol (Fig. 3).
LUBRICATION AND REPLACEMENT PARTS
RECOMMENDATION
Jeep vehicles are engineered to provide many years
of dependable operation. However, lubrication service
and maintenance are required for each vehicle. When
necessary, MOPARtbrand lubricants and genuine re-
placement parts are highly recommended. Each MO-
PAR brand lubricant and replacement part is
designed and to provide dependability and long ser-
vice life.
COMPONENTS REQUIRING NO LUBRICATION
There are many components that should not be lu-
bricated. The components that should not be lubri-
cated are:
²Air pumps.
²Generator bearings.
²Distributors.
²Drive belts.
²Drive belt idler pulleys.
²Rubber bushings.
²Starter motor bearings.
²Suspension strut bearings.
²Throttle control cables.
²Throttle linkage ball joints.
²Water pump bearings.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES
INTRODUCTION
There are two maintenance schedules that show
proper service intervals for Jeep Cherokee and Jeep
Wrangler vehicles. Use the schedule that best de-
scribes the conditions the vehicle is operated under.
When mileage and time is listed, follow the interval
that occurs first.
ScheduleÐAlists all the scheduled maintenance
to be performed under normal operating conditions.
ScheduleÐBis a schedule for vehicles that are
usually operated under one or more of the following
conditions.
²Frequent short trip driving less than 5 miles (8
km).
²Frequent driving in dusty conditions.
²Trailer towing or heavy load hauling.
²Frequent long periods of engine idling.
²Sustained high speed operation.
²Desert operation.
²Frequent starting and stopping.
²Cold climate operation.
²Off road driving.
²Commercial service.
²Snow plow operation.
²More than half of vehicle operation occurs in
heavy city traffic during hot weather (above 90É F).
AT EACH STOP FOR GASOLINE
²Check engine oil level and add as required.
²Check windshield washer solvent and add as re-
quired.
ONCE A MONTH
²Check tire pressure and look for unusual tire wear
or damage.
²Check fluid levels of coolant reservoir, brake mas-
ter cylinder, power steering and transmission. Add
fluid as required.
²Check all lights and other electrical items for cor-
rect operation.
²Inspect battery and clean and tighten terminals as
required.
²Check rubber seals on each side of the radiator for
proper fit.
AT EACH OIL CHANGE
²Inspect exhaust system.
²Inspect brake hoses.
²Rotate the tires at each oil change interval shown
on ScheduleÐA: (7,500 Miles) or every other interval
shown on ScheduleÐB: (6,000 Miles).
²Check engine coolant level, hoses, and clamps.
²Lubricate 4x4 steering linkage.
²Lubricate propeller shaft universal joints and slip
spline, if equipped.After completion of off-road (4WD) operation, the
underside of the vehicle should be thoroughly in-
spected. Examine threaded fasteners for looseness.
HARSH SURFACE ENVIRONMENTS
After vehicle operation in a harsh surface environ-
ment, the following components should be inspected
and cleaned as soon as possible:
²Brake drums.
²Brake linings.
²Front wheel bearings (2WD vehicles only).
²Axle coupling joints.
This will prevent wear and/or unpredictable brake
action.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Do not crank starter motor on disabled
vehicle for more than 15 seconds, starter will over-
heat and could fail.
(6) Allow battery in disabled vehicle to charge to at
least 12.4 volts (75%charge) before attempting to
start engine. If engine does not start within 15 sec-
onds, stop cranking engine and allow starter to cool
(15 min.), before cranking again.
DISCONNECT CABLE CLAMPS AS FOLLOWS:
²Disconnect BLACK cable clamp from engine
ground on disabled vehicle.
²When using a Booster vehicle, disconnect BLACK
cable clamp from battery negative terminal. Discon-
nect RED cable clamp from battery positive terminal.
²Disconnect RED cable clamp from battery positive
terminal on disabled vehicle.
PORTABLE STARTING UNIT
There are many types of portable starting units
available for starting engines. Follow the manufac-
turer's instructions and observe the listed precau-
tions when involved in any engine starting
procedure.
HOISTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Refer to the Owner's Manual for emergency vehicle
lifting procedures.
FLOOR JACK
When properly positioned, a floor jack can be used
to lift a Jeep vehicle (Fig. 2 and 3). Support the ve-
hicle in the raised position with jack stands at the
front and rear ends of the frame rails.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to lift a Jeep vehicle with
a floor jack positioned under:
²An axle tube.
²A body side sill.
²A steering linkage component.
²A drive shaft.
²The engine or transmission oil pan.
²The fuel tank.
²A front suspension arm.
Use the correct sub-frame rail or frame rail
lifting locations only (Fig. 2 and 3).
HOIST
A vehicle can be lifted with:
²A single-post, frame-contact hoist.
²A twin-post, chassis hoist.
²A ramp-type, drive-on hoist.
When a frame-contact type hoist is used, ver-
ify that the lifting pads are positioned properly
(Fig. 2 and 3).WARNING: THE HOISTING AND JACK LIFTING
POINTS PROVIDED ARE FOR A COMPLETE VEHI-
CLE. WHEN A CHASSIS OR DRIVETRAIN COMPO-
NENT IS REMOVED FROM A VEHICLE, THE
CENTER OF GRAVITY IS ALTERED MAKING SOME
HOISTING CONDITIONS UNSTABLE. PROPERLY
SUPPORT OR SECURE VEHICLE TO HOISTING DE-
VICE WHEN THESE CONDITIONS EXIST.
TOWING RECOMMENDATIONS
A vehicle equipped with SAE approved sling-type
towing equipment can be used to tow all Jeep vehi-
cles. When towing a 4WD vehicle using a wheel-lift
towing device, use a tow dolly under the opposite end
of the vehicle. A vehicle with flat-bed device can also
be used to transport a disabled vehicle (Fig. 4).
A wooden crossbeam may be required for proper
connection when using the sling-type, front-end tow-
ing method.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
²Secure loose and protruding parts.
²Always use a safety chain system that is indepen-
dent of the lifting and towing equipment.
²Do not allow towing equipment to contact the dis-
abled vehicle's fuel tank.
²Do not allow anyone under the disabled vehicle
while it is lifted by the towing device.

TOWING-FRONT END LIFTED (SLING-TYPE)
CAUTION: Many vehicles are equipped with air
dams, spoilers, and/or ground effect panels. To
avoid component damage, a wheel-lift towing vehi-
cle or a flat-bed hauling vehicle is recommended.
If a 2WD XJ vehicle cannot be towed with the rear
wheels lifted, it can be towed with the front wheels
lifted.
(1) Attach a J-hook to the disabled vehicle at the
left side of the axle.
(2) Position the sling crossbar close to the J-hook
and below the front bumper.
(3) Secure a chain to the right side of vehicle by
placing it over the axle shaft tube and attaching it to
a structural member (Fig. 5).
(4) Attach the safety chains to the vehicle.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position to
unlock the steering wheel.
2WD-AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Provided the transmission is operable, tow only in
NEUTRALat speeds not to exceed 30 mph (50
km/h) and distances less than 15 miles (25km/h).
If the vehicle is to be towed more than 15 miles,
the propeller shaft should be disconnected or place
tow dollies under rear wheels.
2WD-MANUAL TRANSMISSION
To reduce the possible damage of transmission com-
ponents, the propeller shaft must be removed or
place tow dollies under the rear wheels before tow-
ing. Refer to Propeller Shafts, Group 16 for proper
removal procedure.
FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE VEHICLE TOWING
Chrysler Corporation recommends that a vehicle be
transported on a flat-bed device. A Wheel-lift or
Sling-type device can be used provided all the wheels
are lifted off the ground using tow dollies.
TOWING-REAR END LIFTED (SLING-TYPE)
4WD XJ VEHICLES
(1) Raise the front of the vehicle off the ground
and install tow dollies under front wheels.
(2) Attach J-hooks around the rear axle shaft tube
outboard of the shock absorber.
(3) Place the sling crossbar under and forward of
the bumper.
(4) Attach safety chains around the frame rails.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position to
unlock the steering wheel.
(6) Secure steering wheel in the straight ahead po-
sition with a clamp device designed for towing.
(7) Shift the transfer case to NEUTRAL.
4WD YJ VEHICLES
Use Wheel-Lift equipment and Tow Dollies
when towing from the rear end of the vehicle.
TOWING-FRONT END LIFTED (SLING-TYPE)
4WD XJ VEHICLES
(1) Raise the rear of the vehicle off the ground and
install tow dollies under rear wheels.
(2) Attach a J-hook to the disabled vehicle at the
left side of front the axle.
(3) Position the sling crossbar close to the J-hook
and below the front bumper (Fig. 6).
(4) Secure a chain to the right side of vehicle by
placing it over the axle shaft tube and attaching it to
a structural member
(4) Attach the safety chains to the vehicle.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position to
unlock the steering wheel.

ENGINE BREAK-IN
CAUTION: Wide open throttle operation in low
gears, before engine break-in period is complete,
can damage engine.
After first starting a new engine, allow it to idle for
15 seconds before shifting into a drive gear. Also:
²Drive the vehicle at varying speeds less than 88
km/h (55 mph) for the first 480 km (300 miles).
²Avoid fast acceleration and sudden stops.
²Do not drive at full-throttle for extended periods of
time.
²Do not drive at constant speeds.
²Do not idle the engine excessively.
A special break-in engine oil is not required. The
original engine oil installed is a high quality, energy
conserving lubricant. Special break-in oils are not
recommended. These oils could interfere with the
normal piston ring seating process.
New engines tend to consume more fuel and oil un-
til after the break-in period has ended.
ENGINE OIL
WARNING: NEW OR USED ENGINE OIL CAN BE IR-
RITATING TO THE SKIN. AVOID PROLONGED OR
REPEATED SKIN CONTACT WITH ENGINE OIL.
CONTAMINANTS IN USED ENGINE OIL, CAUSED BY
INTERNAL COMBUSTION, CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO
YOUR HEALTH. THOROUGHLY WASH EXPOSED
SKIN WITH SOAP AND WATER.
DO NOT WASH SKIN WITH GASOLINE, DIESEL
FUEL, THINNER, OR SOLVENTS, HEALTH PROB-
LEMS CAN RESULT.
DO NOT POLLUTE, DISPOSE OF USED ENGINE
OIL PROPERLY. CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR GOV-
ERNMENT AGENCY FOR LOCATION OF COLLEC-
TION CENTER IN YOUR AREA.
ENGINE OIL SPECIFICATION
CAUTION: Do not use non-detergent or straight
mineral oil when adding or changing crankcase lu-
bricant. Engine failure can result.
API SERVICE GRADE CERTIFIED
Use an engine oil that is API Service Grade Certi-
fied or an oil that conforms to the API Service Grade
SH or SH/CD. MOPAR provides engine oils that con-
form to all of these service grades.
SAE VISCOSITY
An SAE viscosity grade is used to specify the vis-
cosity grade of engine oil. SAE 30 specifies a single
viscosity engine oil. Engine oils also have multiple
viscosities. These are specified with a dual SAE vis-
cosity grade which indicates the cold-to-hot tempera-
ture viscosity range. Select an engine oil that is best
suited to your particular temperature range and vari-
ation (Fig.1).
ENERGY CONSERVING OIL
An Energy Conserving type oil is recommeded for
gasoline engines. They are designated as either EN-
ERGY CONSERVING or ENERGY CONSERVING
II.
