Be entertained

The Jeep Gladiator made quite an impact on our local market with almost everyone agreeing that it was a phenomenal machine with capability far exceeding what it would ever be used for. Equipped with a high spec offroad suspension system and the venerable 3.6l V6 Pentastar petrol engine powering all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, capable of 209 kW and 347 Nm of torque.

As with most vehicles that are pushed to their limits it is always advisable to stick to the manufacturer's recommended services or the time spanning between them. We spent some time with the warranty and service manual to see what Jeep says is needed to keep the Gladiator running at its optimum.

Scheduled service

Jeep SA offers a maintenance plan time of 3 years or 100 000km whichever comes first and requires consumers to stick to the service interval of 12 000km in order to maintain the warranty and keep the Gladiator running efficiently.
