Jeep Inspection in Springfield
« on: 03/28/08 - 10:47AM »
I need to get an oil/lube done today and also have my jeep inspected.  I work on the south side of Springfield.  I typically went to Safari for this but need to find somewhere else now.  Where is the best place to go?

Yes they are open.  Last I talked to Shane he has to wait for the inspection people from state to come by and certify his new location which he was trying to get them to do asap.

I ended up going to Blue Stream on E. Sunshine and they did the inspection for me and the oil/lube.  How often do I need to change out my differential fluids?  The Jeep only has 24K miles on it right now.

Following "Schedule B" in the Jeep owner manual (heavy driving), I change my differential fluids every 12,000 miles. but should probably been done after crossing deep water... though I have not always done so. There are seals to keep the water from getting in.. so I don't think it is really necessary to do so every single time you do a water crossing... that could get expensive. But if you been in the water quite a bit or everytime you go wheeling.. you might want to change it before 12,000 ...

I've read that it is best to have this done by someone that has a pneumatic pump so all of the old fluid is removed almost entirely before the new is put in.  Blue Stream wanted $50.00 per differential for the service and fluid.  Recommendations where I should take mine to have this done?  Maybe it is time for me to go back to Safari now!

any shop can change the fluid for you. The dealership usually runs specials on fluids changes quite often... or since you've been a customer at Safari, it is open and doing business down the road from where they were.

I don't know that there is any kind of special pump needed... at least I never needed one.

It depends on if you are pulling the cover off the diff to drain and resealing with RTV or a new gasket or just pulling the plug and pumping out the old and refilling.

Mine has a drain plug in addition to a fill hole, so no pump is ever needed.

What kind of jeep do you have ultramag?

I would imagine that you have a drain plug on the rear but not the front., though I can't really say.. regardless, what ever shop you take it to will know what to do with it. Just take it somewhere you trust...

By inspection you mean State inspection? So MO has a state inspection?
