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.
Check tire pressure and look for unusual
wear or damage. Rotate tires at the first
sign of irregular wear.
Inspect the battery and clean and tighten
the terminals as required.
Check the fluid levels of coolant reservoir,
brake master cylinder and power steering
and fill 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.
Inspect the CV/Universal joints.
Check tire pressure and look for unusual
wear or damage. Rotate tires at the first
sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs
before the oil indicator system turns on.
Required Maintenance Intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Plan on the
following pages for the required maintenance
intervals.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
230(Continued)
Coolant Checks
Check the engine and, intercooler (if
equipped) coolant (antifreeze) protection
every 12 months (before the onset of
freezing weather, where applicable). If the
engine and, intercooler (if equipped) is dirty
or rusty in appearance, the system should be
drained, flushed and refilled with fresh OAT
coolant (conforming to MS.90032) by an
authorized dealer. Check the front of the A/C
condenser (if equipped) or radiator for any
accumulation of bugs, leaves, etc. If dirty,
clean by gently spraying water from a garden
hose vertically down the face of the A/C
condenser (if equipped) or the back of the
radiator core.Check the engine and, intercooler (if
equipped) cooling system hoses for brittle
rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, and tightness
of the connection at the coolant recovery
bottle and radiator. Inspect the entire system
for leaks. DO NOT REMOVE THE COOLANT
PRESSURE CAP WHEN THE COOLING
SYSTEM IS HOT.
Brake System
In order to ensure brake system perfor
-
mance, all brake system components should
be inspected periodically. Refer to the
“Maintenance Plan” in this section for the
proper maintenance intervals.
Fluid Level Check — Brake Master Cylinder
The fluid level of the master cylinder should
be checked whenever the vehicle is serviced,
or immediately if the brake system warning
light is on. If necessary, add fluid to bring
level within the designated marks on the side
of the reservoir of the brake master cylinder.
Be sure to clean the top of the master
cylinder area before removing cap. With disc
brakes, fluid level can be expected to fall as
the brake pads wear. Brake fluid level should
be checked when pads are replaced. If the
brake fluid is abnormally low, check the
system for leaks.
Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in “Tech -
nical Specifications” for further information.When working near the radiator cooling
fan, turn the ignition to the OFF mode.
The fan is temperature controlled and
can start at any time the ignition is in the
ON mode.
WARNING! (Continued)
WARNING!
Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure
and possibly a collision. Driving with your
foot resting or riding on the brake pedal
can result in abnormally high brake
temperatures, excessive lining wear, and
possible brake damage. You would not
have your full braking capacity in an
emergency. WARNING!
Use only manufacturer's recommended
brake fluid. Refer to “Fluids And Lubri -
cants” in “Technical Specifications” for
further information. Using the wrong
type of brake fluid can severely damage
your brake system and/or impair its
performance. The proper type of brake
fluid for your vehicle is also identified on
the original factory installed hydraulic
master cylinder reservoir.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS —
GASOLINE ENGINE
2.0L Engine
This engine is designed to meet all emission
regulations, and provide satisfactory fuel
economy and performance when using
high-quality unleaded gasoline with a recom -
mended RON of 95.
While operating on gasoline with the
required octane number, hearing a light
knocking sound from the engine is not a
cause for concern. However, if the engine is
heard making a heavy knocking sound, see
your dealer immediately. Use of gasoline
with a lower than recommended octane
number can cause engine failure and may
void or not be covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems
such as hard starting, stalling, and hesita -
tions. If you experience these symptoms, try
another brand of gasoline before considering
service for the vehicle.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off
the jack, do not tighten the lug nuts/bolts
fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
Failure to follow this warning may result in
personal injury.
2020_JEEP_JL_WRANGLER_UG_RHD_UK.book Page 248

249
3.6L Engine
This engine is designed to meet all emissions
regulations and provide excellent fuel
economy and performance when using
high-quality unleaded gasoline with a
minimum Research Octane Number (RON)
of 91.
Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not
harmful to your engine. However, continued
heavy spark knock at high speeds can cause
damage, and immediate service is required.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems
such as hard starting, stalling, and hesita-
tions. If you experience these symptoms, try
another brand of gasoline before considering
service for the vehicle. Besides using unleaded gasoline with the
proper octane rating, gasolines that contain
detergents, corrosion and stability additives
are recommended. Using gasolines that have
these additives may help improve fuel
economy, reduce emissions, and maintain
vehicle performance.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems
such as hard starting, stalling, and hesita
-
tions. If you experience these symptoms, try
another brand of gasoline before considering
service for the vehicle.
Materials Added To Fuel
Indiscriminate use of fuel system cleaning
agents should be avoided. Many of these
materials intended for gum and varnish
removal may contain active solvents or
similar ingredients. These can harm fuel
system gasket and diaphragm materials.
Fuel Icon Identification Compliant To
EN16942
The following symbols make it easier to
recognize the correct type of fuel to be used
on your vehicle. Before proceeding with the
supply, check the symbols placed inside the
fuel filler flap (if present) and compare them
with the symbol on the fuel pump (if
present).
