To start with, there were various engines put into Jeep Grand Cherokee's in 1998 so the answer would be a lot easier if you would have put in the engine size as well as the fact that its a 98. For future reference the more pertinent information that you can provide the better your answer will end up being. For example, a better way to phase this would be, "What are the fluid capacities in a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with the 5.2 liter and Quaddratrack four wheel drive system?"
If you don't know what size the engine is you can find it by looking at the eighth digit of the vehicle VIN number. This number will be on your title as well as inspection certificate and also on a metal plate located very far forward on the dash where the windshield comes down. The eighth digit and the coresponding engine is as follows: S=4.0 inline six cylinder, Y=5.2L V-8, Z=5.9L V-8, N=4.7L V-8, and J=4.7L High Output. Each engine will perhaps have different fluid capacities so you can see the value of including that information with your question.
So, the fluids. These would typically include engine oil, transmission fluid, engine coolant, differential grease, and perhaps transfer case grease. Of course the brake lines have fluid in them as well.
Since there will end up being as many as 25 or so different fluid capacities based on what your specific need is I think I'll give this back to you for clarification. I will watch for your response and get back to you very quickly.
