The 2019 Outlander’s 2.4-liter engine requires full-synthetic SAE 0W-20 motor oil (API SN or higher, ILSAC GF-5 or newer).
The question matters for engine protection, fuel economy, and warranty compliance. The following guidelines summarize the official recommendations and practical maintenance notes for this model year.
Recommended oil specifications for the 2019 Outlander
Key facts you should know before purchasing oil or scheduling a change.
- Viscosity: 0W-20

Oil change intervals and capacity considerations
Next, practical details on how often to change the oil and how much to use.
- Change interval: Typically 7,500 miles (12,000 km) with full synthetic oil; shorter intervals (e.g., 5,000 miles / 6 months) if you operate under severe conditions or use conventional oil
