Capacity by Engine Option

Oil Change Interval

Jeep recommends adhering to the Oil Change Indicator system in your vehicle. This system monitors driving conditions and determines the optimal oil change interval.

• Normal Duty: Typically, the system will recommend an oil change between 7,500 and 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.
• Severe Duty: If your driving involves frequent short trips, extreme temperatures, dusty conditions, towing, or extensive idling, the system may recommend an oil change as early as 3,500 miles. Always refer to your owner's manual for specific severe duty recommendations.

Drain Plug Torque

• 2.0L Hurricane 4-Cylinder: 20 ft-lbs (27 Nm)
• 3.6L Pentastar V6: 20 ft-lbs (27 Nm)
• 6.4L SRT HEMI V8: 25 ft-lbs (34 Nm)
• 3.0L EcoDiesel V6: 20 ft-lbs (27 Nm)

Always use a new crush washer with the drain plug to ensure a proper seal and prevent leaks.

How to Change the Oil

1. Warm Up Engine: Drive the vehicle for a few minutes to bring the oil up to operating temperature, ensuring it drains more easily.
2. Lift and Secure: Safely lift the front of the Wrangler and support it with jack stands. Never rely solely on a jack.
3. Locate Drain Plug: Place a suitable drain pan beneath the engine oil pan. Remove the drain plug with the appropriate wrench.
4. Drain Oil: Allow all the old oil to drain completely. This can take several minutes.
5. Replace Drain Plug: Install a new crush washer on the drain plug and reinsert it, tightening to the specified torque.
6. Locate and Replace Oil Filter: Remove the old oil filter using an oil filter wrench. Apply a thin coat of new oil to the gasket of the new filter before threading it on. Hand-tighten until snug, then turn an additional 3/4 to 1 full turn (or as per filter manufacturer instructions).
7. Add New Oil: Remove the oil filler cap and add the recommended amount of new, specified oil for your engine.
8. Check Level: Start the engine and let it run for a minute to circulate the oil. Shut off the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil to settle, then check the oil level with the dipstick. Add more oil if necessary.
9. Reset Oil Life Monitor: Follow the instructions in your owner's manual to reset the oil life monitoring system.
10. Inspect for Leaks: Check around the drain plug and oil filter for any signs of leaks.

Common Issues / Tips for this Generation (JL Wrangler)

• Oil Filter Housing (3.6L Pentastar): The plastic oil filter housing on the 3.6L Pentastar engine can be prone to cracking, especially if overtightened during an oil change. Be gentle and use a torque wrench if possible.
• Skid Plates: Depending on your Wrangler's trim and packages, you may have skid plates that need to be removed to access the oil drain plug. Have the necessary tools ready.
• EcoDiesel Specifics: The 3.0L EcoDiesel engine often requires a specific oil formulation (ACEA C3) due to its diesel particulate filter (DPF) system. Using the wrong oil can damage the DPF. Ensure you purchase the correct oil specified by Mopar.
• Correct Viscosity: Adhering to the recommended oil viscosity is crucial for optimal engine performance and longevity, especially with the tighter tolerances and advanced technologies in modern engines.
