Jeep Grand Cherokee WK SRT8 2013 Instructions for use

2013-2014 WK - Vehicle Quick Reference/Maintenance Schedules/Description
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES - NAFTA - SRT8
The Scheduled Maintenance services listed in this manual must be done at the times or mileages specified to
protect your vehicle warranty and ensure the best vehicle performance and reliability. More frequent maintenance
may be needed for vehicles in severe operating conditions, such as dusty areas and very short trip driving.
Inspection and service should also be done anytime a malfunction is suspected.
The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.
On Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) equipped vehicles “Oil Change Required” will be displayed in the
EVIC and a single chime will sound, indicating that an oil change is necessary.
Based on engine operation conditions the oil change indicator message will illuminate, this means that service is
required for your vehicle. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
At Each Stop For Fuel
Check the engine oil level about five minutes after a fully warmed engine is shut off. Checking the oil level
while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level reading. Add oil only when the
level is at or below the ADD or MIN mark.
Check the windshield washer solvent and add if required.
Once A Month
Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or damage.
Inspect the battery and clean and tighten the terminals as required.
Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, and power steering and add as
needed.
Check all lights and other electrical items for correct operation.
At Each Oil Change
Change the engine oil filter.
Inspect the brake hoses and lines.
NOTE: The oil change indicator message will not monitor the time since the last oil change.
Change your vehicle's oil if it has been 6 months since your last oil change even if the oil
change indicator message is NOT illuminated.
Change your engine oil more often if you drive your vehicle off-road for an extended
period of time.
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 6,000 miles (10,000 km) or 6
months, whichever comes first.
CAUTION: Failure to perform the required maintenance items may result in damage to the
vehicle.
Proper operation of four-wheel drive vehicles depends on tires of equal size, type and
circumference on each wheel. Any difference in tire size can cause damage to the
transfer case. Tire rotation schedule should be followed to balance tire wear.

OIL CHANGE INDICATOR - RESET
The vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indicator system. The “Oil Change Required” message will
flash in the EVIC display for approximately 10 seconds after a single chime has sounded to indicate the next
scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctuate dependent upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
To turn off the message temporarily, press and release the Menu button. To reset the oil change indicator system
(after performing the scheduled maintenance) perform the following procedure:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position (Do not start the engine).
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three times within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position.
Required Maintenance Intervals
NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system
did not reset. If necessary repeat this procedure.
