What is the oil specification for the Jeep Cherokee?
2 Answers
jeep Cherokee uses the original specialized fully synthetic oil with the specification: SAE-0W-20, and the general filling volume is about 6L. The following is relevant information: 1. Engine oil usually includes several types such as mineral oil, synthetic oil, and semi-synthetic oil. 2. The viscosity grade of engine oil is generally classified according to the SAE international standard. SAE is the abbreviation for the Society of Automotive Engineers in English. 3. "W" stands for winter. The smaller the number before it, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the oil, indicating that it can be used in lower environmental temperatures and provides better protection for the engine during cold starts. 4. The number after "W" indicates the oil's high-temperature resistance. The larger the number, the better the oil's protective performance at high temperatures.
Last time I took my Jeep Cherokee in for maintenance, I specifically discussed oil selection with the technician. He said it depends on the engine model - the older 2.4L version recommends 5W-20, while the newer 2.0T turbo engine works best with 0W-20. My 2016 model has been using 5W-20 full synthetic oil all along, and cold starts in winter are quite smooth. Any oil brand with Chrysler MS certification will do, like Mobil or Shell. However, the technician reminded me that if I frequently drive on mountain roads or tow trailers, I might consider 5W-30 for better high-temperature protection. The key is to check the owner's manual and avoid randomly using high-viscosity oil that might clog the variable valve system.
