General overall maintenance

[Wkeithk]

06 KJ - Long story on how I got it, never had a Jeep before but I love this thing.
It was a one owner but I would say not the best maintained. I had the engine flushed and oil changed. It is now time for another oil change which I can handle. Would someone be able to tell me what else I should do? I have no owner's manual, trying to find one on ebay. Also, I have no idea how many and location of grease zirks. Last should I just take it to oil change place?

Thanks...This is why I support these forums - Everyone is so great.

The best thing to do is go to the Jeep website and click on owners....

Then register and once that is done you can download the owners manual for your Liberty.

Or just click on this link after registering:

Jeep Owners | Download an Owners Manual 2004 - 2011 | Jeep

Also might want to get the transmission flushed and all the fluids check etc.

Check the glove box. Owners manual is usually in a slot above it. Sorta hidden.

No zerks or anything to grease on a stock KJ. I'd start changing all the other fluids too.

How many miles are on it currently? Double check in the glove box for the manual. I made the mistake of not looking a little harder and it was sitting right there in it's own slot.

Welcome, btw

Change it yourself, it's not difficult. Then you know what you're getting, how the old oil looks, etc. Change the PCV valve (on the left side of the oil fill) and the spark plugs. Don't get sucked in by advertising, plain ol' copper cores are what works best. Either the NGKs it came with (part number is under the hood) or Champions.

When you change the plugs, put dielectric grease in the boot - these are coil on plug. One 10mm bolt, then gently pry to pop it up and off.

Yes Copper every 30k and gap and torque them. The PCV twists off, it does not pull off. Use a good quality oil and filter. Serp belt is easy to change get a Mopar or Goodyear Gatorback on ebay[they r cheap]And a can of Techron every oil change.

What is Techron? :shrug:

 

[Leeann]

Fuel system cleaner. Black bottle. Really good stuff.

Let me know if you find one. I can't find one out there for under $200-300.

Nope, just up to '06.
