Re: 1996 jeep cherokee need fluid capacities air filer # oil filter #

Did you try to look on craigs list and see if you can post for free that filter that you need.

1996 Cherokees do not have air conditioning filters.

Check all the fluids and make sure they are good. i.e. diffs. oil, transmission, coolant, transfer case fluid, air filter. Use high mileage oil. Check the belt for cracks, usually it will start squealing a bit when it needs to be replaced. Tightening it will not help.

It varies greatly on how much you want to spend and how much of a tune up your doing. For me replacing all the spark plugs, spark plug wires, cap and rotor, air filter, oil change/ oil filter change and fuel filter change is a big tune up that would run a do it yourselfer about $80- $125.00 or more if you get higher performance parts. You can also add to that coolant flush and some good fuel additive. make sure to check your serpentine belt for cracks or wear.

Change the following:

oil, tranny fluid, and filters: air filter and fuel filter as well. Fill up tank and add 1 can of SeaFoam. Change spark plugs, wires, coil wire if distributor is present - as well as cap and rotor.

If coil packs are present, repalce the plugs and wires, air filter, fuel filter, and have the catalytic converter tested to make sure it's not plugged. This test will also let you know if the O2 sensor(s) are bad or not.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

NOTE: start with the cheaper: air and fuel filter. Then work your way up.

Assume this is an automatic transmission.

I would check the transmission fluid level, then checnge the fluid & filter.

Could be colder weather causes more problems.

petrol or diesel

without more information, I'd cheeck fluid levels, linkage adjustments, and change fluid & filter.

THE BANDS ARE LOCATED INSIDE YOUR TRANSMISSION AND THE CAN BE ADJUSTED. HOWEVER THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE WITH THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF THIS VEHICLE. GOOD LUCK.

the filter is a round canister usually orange depending on the make but it unscrews and holds about a quart of oil. usually located at the front of the motor midway down.you have the have a filer wrench to get it off
