I think the 30K service is oil, suspension lub, aircleaner,plugs and

Re: Questions on 30,000 mile service
Thanks to everyone for the replies.
On most of my other vehicles (non Jeeps) I've not adhered to the
maintenance schedule as closely.... tranny usually at 45,000 miles.
But, several Jeep owners I know-- some who have had numerous Jeeps, have
said, by experience, that they avoided costly repairs by going by the
maintenance schedules---- especially with the transmission and
differential fluids.
I was trying to get a feel if these vehicles are a little more "high
maintenance" than other cars/trucks.
