2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee — Oil Capacity & Filter Specs

The 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee takes either 5.9 qt (5.6 L) of oil with filter for the 3.6L V6 or about 5.0 qt (4.7 L) for the 2.0L Turbo 4xe, depending on the engine you have.

Quick answer

• Oil capacity (with filter):
  • 3.6L V6: 5.9 qt (5.6 L)
  • 2.0L Turbo 4xe: ~5.0 qt (4.7 L)
• Recommended viscosity:
  • 3.6L V6: 0W-20
  • 2.0L Turbo 4xe: 0W-30 (cold climates) or 5W-30 where specified; follow the under-hood label/owner’s manual
• Oil type/spec:
  • 3.6L V6: Mopar MS-6395, API SP/ILSAC GF-6A
  • 2.0L Turbo 4xe: Mopar MS-13340, API SP/ILSAC GF-6
• Oil filter:
  • OEM Mopar: consult dealer with VIN to confirm latest superseded part for your exact engine/build
  • Popular aftermarket (verify by engine/VIN): Fram XG10060 (Ultra), Wix 57356/57356XP, Mobil 1 M1-113A

Capacity by engine option

Oil change interval

• Normal service: Up to 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or 12 months, whichever comes first—follow the Oil Life Monitor (OLM).
• Severe service: Every 5,000 miles (8,000 km) or 6 months if you frequently tow, idle, make short trips, drive dusty/off‑road, or experience extreme temperatures.
• 4xe note: Even if the gas engine runs less due to EV operation, change oil at least annually or as the OLM indicates.

Drain plug torque

• Drain plug torque: 22 lb‑ft (30 N·m) is typical for the WL Grand Cherokee aluminum oil pan.
• Crush washer/gasket: Replace the sealing washer if equipped or if the plug uses a serviceable gasket. Inspect the plug O‑ring/washer and replace if nicked or flattened.

How to change the oil

1. Warm the engine to operating temp, then shut off. For 4xe, place the vehicle in Hybrid/Service mode per the owner’s manual so the engine cannot auto‑start.
2. Lift and support the vehicle safely on stands; remove the lower splash shield/undertray fasteners as needed.
3. Remove the oil fill cap, then the drain plug; drain oil completely.
4. Replace/inspect the crush washer or plug seal; torque the drain plug to 22 lb‑ft (30 N·m).
5. Spin off the old filter. Lightly oil the new filter gasket; hand‑tighten 3/4 turn after gasket contact (or torque to the filter maker’s spec if provided).
6. Add the specified amount of oil (start 0.5 qt under spec), then reinstall the fill cap.
7. Start the engine and check for leaks. Shut off, wait a few minutes, and verify the oil level; top up to the upper mark without overfilling.
8. Reset the Oil Life Monitor via the instrument cluster menu.

Common issues / tips for this generation (WL)

• Pentastar 3.6 oil cooler/adapter leaks: The composite oil filter/cooler housing on some 3.6L engines can seep at the housing or sensor ports over time. If you notice oil pooling in the valley, ask about the updated housing design and proper torque sequence.
• Lifter/rocker tick (3.6L): Intermittent ticking after cold start is often benign, but persistent noise warrants inspection. Keeping to 0W‑20 that meets MS‑6395 helps with proper lifter fill.
• 4xe hybrid service mode: Always disable auto‑start and follow the manual’s HV/12V safety steps before working near the engine. Do not open the hood or start an oil change if the engine could start automatically.
• LSPI protection (2.0L Turbo): Use oil that explicitly meets Mopar MS‑13340 (API SP) to minimize low‑speed pre‑ignition risk and turbo deposits; avoid unsupported viscosities.
• Verify filter by VIN: Mopar has running changes and supersessions. Always confirm the oil filter P/N by VIN; cross‑reference any aftermarket filter before installation.
• Watch the level after first drive: The WL’s large undertray can retain oil during draining; after your test drive and cool‑down, recheck the dipstick and top off if needed.
