The Jeep Patriot 2 4 has a timing chain. To maintain it, the coolant should be replaced every 60,000 miles, while the air filter should be changed every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. For most spark plugs, replacement is needed at 100,000 miles, but if it's a copper one, it should be replaced every 30,000 miles. Engine issues may arise, such as a loose gasket needing tightening, a spark plug coming off causing problems, or oil leaks that must be promptly fixed. One critical issue to watch out for is engine overheating, as it can potentially result in fires and even the vehicle exploding. Additionally, excessive oil consumption may necessitate more frequent oil changes than usual.
