Oil Change Interval

Jeep recommends adhering to the oil change indicator system in your vehicle, but generally, the following guidelines apply:

• Normal Duty: Typically every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or 12 months, whichever comes first, when using the recommended full synthetic oil.
• Severe Duty: If your Gladiator is subjected to frequent short trips, extreme temperatures, dusty conditions, towing, or extensive idling, an oil change may be required as early as 4,000 to 5,000 miles (6,400 to 8,000 km) or 6 months. Always refer to your vehicle's oil change indicator system for the most accurate interval.

Drain Plug Torque

The oil drain plug for the 2023 Jeep Gladiator with the 3.6L V6 engine should be torqued to 20 ft-lbs (27 Nm). It is highly recommended to replace the crush washer with a new one designed for the drain plug every time you change the oil to ensure a proper seal and prevent leaks. The crush washer helps create a tight seal without over-tightening.

How to Change the Oil (Brief Steps)

1. Warm Up Engine: Drive the vehicle for a few minutes to bring the oil up to operating temperature, ensuring better flow.
2. Lift and Secure: Safely lift the front of the Gladiator using a jack and secure it with jack stands. Ensure the vehicle is level or slightly elevated at the front.
3. Locate Drain Plug: Place a suitable oil drain pan beneath the oil pan. Locate the drain plug on the bottom of the oil pan.
4. Drain Oil: Carefully remove the drain plug with the appropriate wrench. Be cautious, as the oil will be hot. Allow all the old oil to drain completely.
5. Replace Drain Plug: Once drained, replace the old crush washer with a new one, then reinstall and torque the drain plug to 20 ft-lbs (27 Nm).
6. Replace Oil Filter: Locate the oil filter housing (on top of the engine near the front for the 3.6L V6). Use an oil filter wrench to loosen and remove the old filter element. Clean the housing, lubricate the new filter
