Jeep Wrangler Oil Type

You love off-road adventures, and you love taking care of your Jeep Wrangler in your Coweta County garage. That means oil changes every 7,500 miles when you drive in the right conditions around Douglas County. Of course, off-roading means oil changes more often. But you don’t mind because your rugged SUV is worth it when you head to your favorite wilderness destination. The Jeep Wrangler oil type required for the engine depends on your specific model and year, and you’ll need to know this for performing your own oil changes at home.

Discover the recommended Jeep Wrangler oil type with our guide from Scott Evans Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.

Jeep Wrangler Oil Type Recommended by the Manufacturer

Jeep recommends its Mopar brand of oil, called MaxPro, for your Jeep Wrangler oil type. Mopar meets the manufacturer’s high standards. Your Jeep Wrangler oil type also depends on the engine size under the hood and the engine type.

There are five engines available for the current generation of Jeep Wranglers from 2018 to now. As such, the Jeep Wrangler oil type and capacity varies a bit depending on the engine.

• 3.6L V6: 0W-20 and 5 quarts
• 2.0L Turbo I4: 5W-30 and 5 quarts
• 3.0L EcoDiesel: 5W-40 and 9 quarts
• 2.0L Turbo Hybrid 4xe: 5W-30 and 5 quarts
• 6.4L Hemi V8: 0W-40 and 7 quarts on the Rubicon

Jeep highly recommends full synthetic oil for the best results. Consult your owner’s manual to see your vehicle’s exact requirements, including the right OEM part for the Jeep Wrangler oil filter.

Synthetic vs. Conventional Oil for Your Jeep Wrangler

You might think about conventional or synthetic oil for your Jeep Wrangler. We highly suggest full synthetic oil for your model because it protects the engine and lasts longer. You may not need to change the oil until after 7,500 miles or even as long as 10,000 miles versus 3,000 to 5,000 miles for conventional oil. You’ll save money over the long term since you have fewer oil changes in Villa Rica thanks to full synthetic oil.

OEM parts, including MaxPro oil and a Jeep Wrangler oil filter, are best for your Jeep because the manufacturer specifically formulates the oil for its engines. Also, having the right Jeep Wrangler oil filter can help maintain your SUV’s warranty.

How to Reset the Oil Change Light on a Jeep Wrangler

If you perform oil changes on your own, you’ll also need to know how to reset the oil change light on a Jeep Wrangler.

There are two ways to do this.

1. Turn the ignition to the position marked ON/RUN. However, don’t turn so far you start the engine.
2. In the instrument cluster display, you’ll find several options. Select “Vehicle Info” and after that “Oil Life.”
3. Press and hold “OK” for a little bit. This should reset the Jeep oil light back to 100%.

The second way follows these steps:

1. Just like before, turn the ignition to ON/RUN, but again, you’ll want to avoid starting the engine.
2. Fully press the accelerator pedal three times within 10 seconds.
3. Place the ignition in OFF/LOCK.
4. If you still see the indicator light on after you follow either method, this means that the oil change indicator system didn’t reset to normal. We suggest carefully repeating the procedure a few times.

If both of these methods don’t reset the oil change light, bring your Jeep Wrangler in for service. Also, when you reset the engine oil change light on your Jeep Wrangler, make sure you actually performed an oil change. Otherwise, your vehicle’s oil light indicator will be inaccurate, and your service intervals will be off. That’s why you need to understand how to reset the oil change light on a Jeep Wrangler only after you perform the oil change.
