Capacity by Engine Option

Oil Change Interval

For most driving conditions, Jeep recommends an oil change every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. However, if you regularly fall under severe duty conditions, it is advisable to change your oil more frequently. Severe duty conditions include:

• Frequent short trips (less than 5 miles)
• Extreme hot or cold ambient temperatures
• Towing a trailer or carrying heavy loads
• Frequent stop-and-go driving
• Driving in dusty or muddy conditions

For severe duty, consider changing your oil every 5,000 miles or 6 months.

Drain Plug Torque

The oil drain plug torque specification for both the 5.7L HEMI V8 and the 3.6L Pentastar V6 engines in the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee is 20 ft-lbs (27 Nm). Always use a new drain plug crush washer with every oil change to ensure a proper seal and prevent leaks.

How to Change the Oil

1. Warm up the engine: Drive the vehicle for a few minutes to get the oil to operating temperature, ensuring it drains more easily.
2. Lift the vehicle and secure it: Use a jack and jack stands to safely raise the front of the vehicle. Ensure it is stable before crawling underneath.
3. Locate and remove the drain plug: Place a suitable drain pan underneath the oil pan. Carefully remove the drain plug with a wrench and allow the old oil to drain completely.
4. Replace the drain plug: Install a new crush washer on the drain plug and thread it back into the oil pan. Torque to the specified 20 ft-lbs.
5. Remove and replace the oil filter: Locate the oil filter (cartridge type for both engines). Use an oil filter wrench to remove the old filter. Be prepared for some oil to spill. Lubricate the new filter's O-rings with fresh oil and install it, hand-tightening until snug, then an additional quarter to half turn, or per filter manufacturer instructions. Ensure the old filter's gasket or O-ring is not stuck to the engine block.
6. Add new oil: Lower the vehicle. Locate the oil fill cap on top of the engine and pour in the recommended amount of fresh oil.
7. Check oil level: Start the engine and let it run for a minute to circulate the new oil. Shut off the engine, wait a few minutes, then check the oil level with the dipstick. Add more oil if necessary, but be careful not to overfill.
8. Dispose of old oil: Properly dispose of the used oil at an approved recycling center.

Common Issues / Tips

• Pentastar V6 Oil Filter Housing: Be aware that the oil filter housing for the 3.6L Pentastar V6 is often made of plastic and can become brittle over time. Exercise caution when removing and installing the filter cartridge to avoid cracking the housing. Some aftermarket replacement housings are available in aluminum for improved durability.
• HEMI MDS System: The 5.7L HEMI engine utilizes a Multi-Displacement System (MDS) which is sensitive to oil quality and level. Using the correct viscosity and specification of oil is crucial for proper MDS operation and to prevent potential engine issues.
• Oil Life Monitor (OLM): Your 2022 Grand Cherokee is equipped with an Oil Life Monitor. While it takes into account various driving conditions, it's still advisable to adhere to the recommended intervals, especially under severe duty. Reset the OLM after every oil change.
• Underbody Protection: Depending on your Grand Cherokee's trim level and options, you might have underbody skid plates that need to be removed to access the oil drain plug. Be prepared with the necessary tools for removal and reinstallation.
