Jeep Renegade Oil Type

Your Jeep Renegade SUV’s internal combustion engine needs engine oil to function correctly. Engine oil prevents friction, overheating, wear, and permanent damage that can lead to a huge repair bill later on. That’s why Jeep Renegade oil changes at the recommended intervals are vital to your SUV’s operation, performance, and longevity.

Modern Jeep SUVs use high-tech features, like an oil change indicator and state-of-the-art engineering, to give you the most out of your daily drives, weekly errands, and weekend getaways. The Jeep Renegade oil type required for the engine depends on your specific model and year as you drive on Little Rock and North Little Rock roads and highways.

Jeep Renegade Oil Type Recommended by the Manufacturer

Jeep recommends its Mopar brand of oil, called MaxPro, for your Jeep Renegade oil type. Mopar meets Jeep’s high standards for keeping your engine in top condition for as long as you own your SUV. Your Jeep Renegade oil type also depends on the size of the engine under the hood.

If you own a Jeep Renegade with a 1.4L engine, the manufacturer recommends SAE 5W-40 full synthetic oil. For the larger, 2.4L engine, use SAE 0W-20 full synthetic oil. Older Jeep Renegade models, going back to 2017 and older, might need SAE 0W-30 full synthetic oil. Consult with your owner’s manual or driver information screen to see what kind of oil Jeep recommends for your SUV.

Synthetic vs. Conventional Oil for Your Jeep Renegade

You have a choice when you bring your vehicle in for an oil change at Superior Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram of Conway. Your vehicle can take conventional (regular) oil or full synthetic oil. Our service team highly recommends full synthetic oil because it better suits your Jeep Renegade engine and it will last longer.

Full synthetic oil costs more money upfront when you pay for an oil change. However, the oil change interval is longer with full synthetic oil. You’ll still need oil changes every 3,000 to 5,000 miles for older vehicles using conventional oil. But when you fill your engine with full synthetic motor oil, you may not need to change the oil until after 7,500 miles or even as long as 10,000 miles!

You’ll save money over the long term since you have fewer oil changes in Benton thanks to full synthetic oil. For example, let’s say a conventional oil change costs $70 while full synthetic is $95. You’ll need two oil changes for conventional versus just one for full synthetic, meaning you’ll spend $140 versus $95 in the same time period. You’ll save $45 with full synthetic motor oil! Your individual costs will vary.

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