2025 Jeep Gladiator Factory Maintenance Schedule

Quick Reference Maintenance Schedule for the 2025 Jeep Gladiator

Severe-Duty Schedule

The 2025 Jeep Gladiator is built for tough conditions, but if you frequently tow, haul heavy loads, drive in dusty or off-road environments, take short trips in cold climates, or idle for extended periods, you’ll need to follow the severe-duty schedule. This typically means more frequent oil changes—as often as every 3,500-5,000 miles. Your oil life monitor is your best guide here, as it will automatically shorten the interval based on your driving habits. You should also inspect and replace air filters more frequently, and check your differential and transmission fluid levels more often.

Known Issues by Mileage

• 5,000-15,000 miles: Some owners have reported minor software glitches with the Uconnect infotainment system. These are typically resolved with a software update from the dealer.
• 30,000-60,000 miles: The original-equipment tires may be nearing the end of their life, depending on your driving habits. Keep an eye on tread depth. Some owners have also reported premature wear on the front brake pads, especially on models that are frequently towed with.
• 60,000-100,000 miles: The factory battery may begin to show its age. If you notice slow starting or dimming lights, have it tested. The spark plugs are due for replacement at 100,000 miles, but if you notice a decrease in fuel economy or performance, they may need to be replaced sooner.
• 100,000-150,000 miles: The timing chain should be inspected for stretching or wear. While it is designed to last the life of the engine, a rattling noise on startup could be a sign of a problem. The water pump and thermostat are also common failure points at this mileage.

What You Can DIY vs. Shop

• DIY: Oil and filter changes, tire rotations, cabin and engine air filter replacements, and spark plug replacements are all relatively straightforward jobs for the home mechanic. You can also visually inspect belts and hoses, and top off fluids as needed.
• Shop: Brake fluid flushes, coolant flushes, transmission fluid services, and timing chain inspections or replacements are best left to the professionals. These jobs require special tools and knowledge to complete correctly. Differential and transfer case services can be done at home, but can be messy and require a fluid pump.
