I wonder if this jeep will last forever... I have 225K miles and it doesn't burn or leak any oil. My goal is to drive it to 300K.
I have performed oil changes every 5000 to 7000 miles and added oil treatment every 50K miles. Other maintenance items were routine in my opinion.
Great Car! I wish they hadn't come up with the Liberty model, because it is not a good substitute.
What kind of oil additive did you use and what weight oil.
I reciently bought a "94" Cherokee Sport with one hundred thousand six hundred miles on it. My first impression was really impressed. I notice oil in the air filter box and got to checking and oil was being sucked through to the air filter. I informed my dealer and now they are replacing the engine. I just want to make sure this new engine will last. I would like to recieve any tips to make this vehicle last forever. I am really impressed with the handling, etc.
John.
I agree, the Liberty is NOT a worthy replacement. It is a girly jeep.
I own a 1995 Cherokee auto, I also discovered oil in the air filter box, which they inform me means a new motor.
The check engine light used to come on, but they could never figure out what it was for!
I am actually disappointed with the Jeep at only 100k.
My previous vehicle was a 1988 land-cruiser which wasn't great off road, but a lot better than the jeep.
I thought the Jeep was a go anywhere vehicle, I don't agree, a bit embarrassing.
