Oil Change

 

When Carlsbad drivers search for their next adventure-ready SUV, many turn to the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Offering impressive performance and off-road-ready capabilities, the Jeep Grand Cherokee ensures you can take on even the toughest Vista travels.

To keep your Grand Cherokee trail-ready, it’s important to check and replace your engine oil and oil filter at regular intervals. So, what is the recommended Jeep Grand Cherokee oil type, and when should you change the oil filter? Get answers to these questions and more in the Jeep Grand Cherokee oil change guide from Jack Powell Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram’s service team.

 


What is the Recommended Jeep Grand Cherokee Oil Type?

The Jeep Grand Cherokee has undergone several changes since its original design, with several engine options available across new and used models. With so many unique powertrains across the range, it’s important to check your owner’s manual to find the recommended Jeep Grand Cherokee oil type for your specific engine.

Still, if you’re the proud owner of a newer Jeep Grand Cherokee, you’ll likely require either SAE 5W-30or0W-20 full synthetic engine oil. For the full list of recommended Jeep Grand Cherokee oil filters and oil types, get in touch with our parts department.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Oil Change Tips

Once you’ve found the correct oil, it’s time to plan your next Jeep Grand Cherokee oil change. For the best result, follow these tips:

  • Watch for Your Oil Change Indicator: All new Jeep Grand Cherokee models are equipped with an oil change indicator system that monitors the quality of your vehicle’s oil and alerts you as it degrades. When the “Oil Change Required” message appears, schedule an oil change within the next 500 miles to avoid damaging your engine.
  • Don’t Exceed 10,000 Miles Without an Oil Change: While your Jeep Grand Cherokee should alert you to your needed oil change intervals, it’s important to know that you should never exceed 10,000 miles, 12 months, or 350 hours of engine run time without an oil change.
  • Change Your Jeep Grand Cherokee Oil Filter: Every time you perform an oil change, replace your old Jeep Grand Cherokee oil filter with a new one.
