I am trying to do a tune up on a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and am curious what parts I will need. I known spark plugs, but it doesn't appear to have wires like my Ford does(I'm doing this for my fiance's vehicle). It is the 6 cylinder model as well
. Replace the spark plugs (Champion only)--no cross-reference plugs. Use the exact plug that came in the vehicle. Apply dielectric grease to the porcelein and top of the main electrode. Use a very light coat of anti-seize compound on the threads.
. Change air filter.
. Change fuel filter. Be sure to depressurize the system first.
. PCV Valve.
If you want to score points, change the engine oil and filter. Introduce her to full-synthetic engine oil (e.g., Mobil 1) and go with a premium filter (e.g., Purolator's PureOne). Change every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Recommend that she also change the transmission fluid and filter. Change every 30,000 miles. Finally, get the brake fluid changed--one of the most overlooked items on vehicles today. Later, change the coolant--50/50 mixture of G-05 antifreeze and distilled water. Record all work in a Maintenance Log--Date, Mileage, Work Performed.
Go with OEM, Raybestos, Bendix, or other top quality pads--problems arise when you don't. Be sure to clean and lubricate the caliper pins with silicone grease. If the vehicle came with ceramic brake pads, stay with them--don't switch to semi-metallic pads. This really increases the chance of having future brake problems.
