Oil Change Interval
Jeep recommends varying oil change intervals based on driving conditions:
- Normal Duty: Under ideal driving conditions, change the oil every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or 12 months, whichever comes first.
- Severe Duty: If you frequently drive in severe conditions (e.g., extensive idling, frequent short trips, sustained high-speed driving, towing, extreme temperatures, dusty conditions), change the oil every 5,000 miles (8,000 km) or 6 months, whichever comes first. Always refer to your owner's manual for the most accurate and up-to-date information for your specific vehicle.
Drain Plug Torque
- 3.6L V6 / 5.7L V8 / 6.4L V8 SRT: The oil drain plug torque specification is typically 20 ft-lbs (27 Nm). Always use a new crush washer to ensure a proper seal and prevent leaks. The crush washer is usually a part of the new oil filter kit or can be purchased separately.
- 3.0L V6 EcoDiesel: The drain plug torque specification for the EcoDiesel engine can be different. Please consult your owner
