The Renegade Trailhawk’s 2.4-liter engine requires full-synthetic 0W-20 engine oil that meets Mopar MS-6395 specifications (API SN or newer).
For owners and service professionals, this article outlines the exact oil type, viscosity, and certification recommended for the 2017 model year to ensure proper lubrication, performance, and warranty compliance.
Oil specifications
Key requirements as specified by Jeep for the 2.4L Tigershark engine used in the Renegade Trailhawk.
- Oil type: full-synthetic engine oil
- Viscosity: 0W-20
- Specifications: Mopar MS-6395; API SN or newer; ILSAC GF-5
- Brand compatibility: Many brands offer 0W-20 synthetic that meets MS-6395; always verify the bottle’s specs
Adhering to these specifications helps ensure proper lubrication, cold-start protection, and wear resistance across the vehicle’s operating range.
Why these specs matter
The MS-6395 standard is Chrysler’s specification for oils used in FCA vehicles. It ensures the oil provides adequate film strength, detergency, and compatibility with seals and filters, which is particularly important for off-road capable models like the Trailhawk.
Summary
For a 2017 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk, use a full-synthetic 0W-20 engine oil that meets Mopar MS-6395 and API SN (or newer). Check the bottle to confirm the exact specification, and consult the owner’s manual or a dealer if you have climate-specific considerations or special maintenance plans.
