Always verify the exact specification in your owner’s manual or with a dealer, since small variations can occur by production batch or model variant.

Oil type and maintenance notes
To maintain performance and warranty coverage, use a high-quality synthetic motor oil that meets Jeep specifications for the 2.4L engine.

Always consult the owner’s manual for the precise specification and the recommended oil-change interval, which typically falls in the range of 6,000–7,500 miles under normal driving conditions, with more frequent changes under severe conditions.
Regularly checking the oil level with the dipstick after a change helps ensure you’ve got the right amount. If in doubt, contact a certified mechanic or the dealership for an exact fill amount based on your vehicle’s VIN and build date.
