The 2017 Renegade with the 2.4-liter Tigershark engine requires specific oil specifications to protect the engine and maintain performance. The engine uses 0W-20 full synthetic motor oil, and the typical capacity is about 5 quarts with a filter.
Official specification and viscosity guidance
The following list highlights the core specifications you should match when selecting oil for the 2.4L Tigershark in a 2017 Renegade.
- Viscosity: 0W-20
- Type: Full synthetic motor oil
- Capacity: Approximately 5.0 quarts (with filter)
- Ratings: API SN or newer; ILSAC GF-5
- OEM specification: Chrysler MS-6395
Using oil that matches these specs helps ensure proper lubrication, emissions control, and warranty compliance.
Brand and formulation guidance
To simplify shopping, look for oils labeled as 0W-20 full synthetic that meet API SN/ILSAC GF-5 and Chrysler MS-6395. Most major brands offer products that meet these specs.
- Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0W-20
- Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic 0W-20
- Castrol EDGE 0W-20
- Valvoline SynPower 0W-20
- OEM Mopar 0W-20 full synthetic
Always check the product label to confirm it meets MS-6395 and is 0W-20. If you drive in extreme temperatures or under severe service, follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule and adjust oil-change intervals accordingly.
Maintenance interval and capacity notes
In normal driving with synthetic oil, many 2017 Renegade owners follow an oil-change interval of about every 6,000 miles (or 6 months), whichever comes first. Severe-service conditions—short trips, heavy towing, or extreme heat or cold—may warrant more frequent changes. Always verify with the owner's manual for your VIN and local conditions.
Additional considerations
If you cannot locate 0W-20 synthetic, do not substitute with a significantly thicker grade without consulting your manual or dealer. The 2.4L Tigershark is designed for 0W-20 in most climates; using a heavier oil can affect fuel economy, performance, and emissions systems. Confirm specifications in your owner’s manual for any regional or model-year variations.
Choosing a brand that meets the spec
When selecting oil, prioritize products that clearly state 0W-20 and meet API SN/ILSAC GF-5 and Chrysler MS-6395. The following brands are commonly available and align with these requirements.
- Mobil 1 0W-20
- Pennzoil 0W-20
- Castrol 0W-20
- Valvoline 0W-20
- Mopar 0W-20 (OEM)
Always read the label to confirm compatibility with MS-6395 and 0W-20 specification before purchasing.
Summary
The 2017 Jeep Renegade with the 2.4L Tigershark engine takes 0W-20 full synthetic motor oil, with an approximate capacity of 5 quarts including the filter. It should meet API SN or newer and ILSAC GF-5, and conform to Chrysler MS-6395. Choose a reputable brand that specifies these standards, follow the recommended service intervals, and consult your owner’s manual for any VIN-specific notes.
