This may stir some people up

I've just finished going through my manuals and creating a spreadsheet for Gemma's servicing schedule. All these numbers are right out of the manual. But I want to know what YOU do. Schedule Bravo only. Get to it. :emoticondancer:

Engine Oil--> 3,000
Spark Plugs---> 30,000
PCV Valve---> 30,000
Differentials---> 12,000
Transfer Case---> 30,000
Transmission---> 60,000
Coolant---> 102,000
Tire Rotation---> ?

Coolant should be 5yrs or 100,000 what ever comes first and on Dino 3,000 or 3 months once again what ever comes first.

I've switched the engine oil to synthetic to avoid oil sludge. Will go not a day over the 3 month mark or the 3k. Gotta keep giving my girl what she needs if I want her to take me out into the woods and do dirty things with me

Engine Oil--> 3,000 YES
Spark Plugs---> 30,000 25,000-30,000
PCV Valve---> 30,000 when I do spark plugs
Differentials---> 12,000 about right
Transfer Case---> 30,000 25,000 when I do spark plugs
Transmission---> 60,000 50-55,000
Coolant---> 102,000 60,000
Tire Rotation---> ? every oil change

Engine Oil--> 3,000 *as directed*
Spark Plugs---> 30,000 *every spring*
PCV Valve---> 30,000 *every spring*
Differentials---> 12,000 *every spring*
Transfer Case---> 30,000 *every spring*
Transmission---> 60,000 *every spring*
Coolant---> 102,000 *every 2-3 years*
Tire Rotation---> ? *with every oil change*

The items that get changed each spring may be overkill, but I do this for a number of reasons. My KJ is heavily used as my DD. It's also over 208K miles currently. But most importantly, it's because I'm really bad about remembering/writing down service intervals... so by doing the maintenance this frequently, I know it's been done "recently" and I know when I'll be doing it again. lol3.gif

I've never done the PCV valve in the life of the Jeep that I've had it (about 40k miles). Bad?

I did the same. However I just change my oil every 6 months (March and September). That goes for both my KJ and my wifes compass. She does put on more mileage than I do but Synth is good for like 10k between changes. and she only does about 4k in a 6 month period.

Ditto.

Also:
Engine Oil--> 5,000 or so.
Spark Plugs---> 50,000
PCV Valve---> Never...
Differentials---> 50,000
Transfer Case---> 50,000
Transmission---> 100,000 had it serviced... manual ******.
Coolant---> 100,000
Tire Rotation---> with oil

Plugs that spark? Sounds dangerous around all that fuel.
