What type of oil does a 2018 Jeep Renegade need?

The 2018 Jeep Renegade requires 0W-20 synthetic motor oil that meets Chrysler’s MS-6395 specification, regardless of whether you have the 1.4L turbo or the 2.4L engine. The oil capacity is roughly 4.5 quarts with a filter. Always verify the exact specification on the oil filler cap or in the owner’s manual for your specific vehicle.


Engine options and oil requirements


In 2018 the Renegade offered at least two engines. Both are designed to run on 0W-20 synthetic oil that meets Chrysler MS-6395 standards and API SN or newer. Using the correct oil helps ensure proper lubrication, fuel efficiency, and emissions compliance.


1.4L MultiAir Turbo


Details for the 1.4L Turbo engine:



  • Oil viscosity: 0W-20

  • Oil type: Synthetic (full synthetic preferred)

  • Specification: Meets Chrysler MS-6395

  • API rating: SN or newer

  • Oil capacity: approximately 4.5 quarts (with filter)


Note: Always check the oil fill cap and owner's manual for the exact specification and capacity for your vehicle.


2.4L Tigershark


Details for the 2.4L engine:



  • Oil viscosity: 0W-20

  • Oil type: Synthetic (full synthetic preferred)

  • Specification: Meets Chrysler MS-6395

  • API rating: SN or newer

  • Oil capacity: approximately 4.5 quarts (with filter)


Again, confirm the spec on your vehicle, as regional variations or factory fill differences can occur.


Maintenance tips and best practices


Use a high-quality synthetic 0W-20 oil that complies with MS-6395. Regularly change the oil according to the vehicle’s oil life monitor or the manual guidelines. Avoid oils that do not meet MS-6395, and use a genuine oil filter to ensure proper filtration and sealing.


Summary: The 2018 Jeep Renegade relies on 0W-20 synthetic oil meeting Chrysler MS-6395 for both engine options (1.4L Turbo and 2.4L). Oil capacity is around 4.5 quarts with filter; verify via manual or the fill cap. Maintain oil changes per the monitor or manual for best results.
