Jeep Gladiator Oil Change

Jeep Gladiator Oil Change near Lexington

Jeep Gladiators are known for being the ultimate off-roading truck, with extreme capability and utility. Jeep offers a choice between two powerful engines for 2022 – the 3.6L engine, capable of 285 hp and a towing capacity of 7,560 lb., and the 3.6L EcoDiesel V6 engine, capable of 260 hp and a towing capacity of 6,500 lb. If you own a Gladiator, chances are that you utilize your Jeep’s powerful engine to go off-roading on Kentucky trails. The last thing you would want is your Gladiator’s engine going out. You can prevent this by getting routine oil changes at a Dan Cummins Auto Group CDJR dealership in Paris or Georgetown, KY. If you want to learn more about how to care for your engine through routine oil changes, keep reading.

How to Check Jeep Gladiator Oil Level

To ensure your engine keeps performing at its best, it is recommended you check the oil level once a month and every time you take a long trip. The steps to check your oil level easily at home are:

1. Park your Jeep Gladiator on a level surface.
2. Wait for a minimum of 5 minutes for your engine to cool down.
3. Locate the dipstick, remove it, and wipe it with a rag or paper towel.
4. Re-insert the dipstick and remove it again.
5. Check the oil level and consistency on the dipstick. There are four different dipstick types:
   • Crosshatched zone
   • Crosshatched zone marked SAFE.
   • Crosshatched zone marked with MIN at the low end of the range and MAX at the high end of the range.
   • Crosshatched zone marked with dimples at the MIN and the MAX ends of the range
6. You always want the oil level to be within the crosshatch markings on the dipstick and brown or black without metal particles. If it’s below the crosshatched marking or has a different color/consistency, bring it in immediately for an oil change at Dan Cummins Auto Group CDJR of Paris or Georgetown, KY.

Jeep Gladiator Oil Change Intervals

The 2022 Jeep Gladiator requires full synthetic oil for both engine types. Full synthetic oil should be changed every 6 months or 7,500 – 10,000 miles. Every time you get your oil changed, you should receive a sticker or receipt with the current odometer reading. Just add 7,500 miles to that, and you will know when to come in for an oil change. In addition, you could also ask a factory-certified service technician at Dan Cummins Auto Group to help you work out a maintenance schedule that includes oil changes.

Jeep Gladiator Oil Type

When you come in for an oil change, the service technician will first ask the type of oil you prefer to use. This can vary based on the mileage and trim of your Jeep Gladiator. For the 2022 Gladiator, Jeep recommends:

• For the 3.6L Gasoline engine, use Mopar SAE 0W-20 full synthetic engine oil.
• For the 3.0L Diesel engine, use Mopar API Certified SAE 5W-40 full synthetic engine oil.

If you have a Gladiator with 75,000+ miles, your service advisor will likely recommend you use high-mileage motor oil, which helps to prevent oil leaks.

Jeep Gladiator Oil Capacity

The 2022 Jeep Gladiator Owner’s Manual specifies the oil capacity for each engine, which are:

• 3.6L Gasoline Engine: 5.0 Quarts
• 3.0L Diesel Engine: 9.0 Quarts

Oil capacities may change depending on the specific trim and mileage of your Gladiator. Please refer to your Owner’s Manual or consult with a service advisor at Dan Cummins Auto Group to find the oil capacity for your Gladiator.

Importance of Using Synthetic Oil

Synthetic oil, in most cases, is better for your engine for a couple of reasons. It resists oil breakdown, making it last longer than conventional oils. It is the best choice for those living in extreme climates because it performs better in extremely low and high temperatures than other oil types. In addition, it prevents sludge better than any other engine oil type, helping your engine to last as long as possible.
It does tend to be more expensive than other oil types, so if you can’t afford it, consult with your service advisor at Dan Cummins Auto Group to see if you can use a synthetic blend instead, which has many of the same benefits.

Cost of Oil Change for Jeep Gladiator

An oil change’s cost for a Jeep Gladiator can fluctuate based on the oil type, the amount of oil needed, and labor costs. At Dan Cummins Auto Group, we estimate a cost of $46.45 for an oil change, which includes an inspection of all fluid levels and conditions, belts, and hoses; lubrication of the doors, hood hinges, steering, suspension, and driveline; up to 5 quarts of motor oil; and a new AC Delco oil filter. Because the Gladiator requires 9 quarts of synthetic oil for its diesel engine, the price may be higher.

Why Come to a Dealership for my Jeep Gladiator Oil Change?

At Dan Cummins Auto Group, we always use Mopar parts and oil. These are identical to the parts on your Jeep when it leaves the factory, meaning they are made to work perfectly with your Jeep. Aftermarket parts tend to use cheaper materials, which last for less time, and are not guaranteed to function with your Jeep. You should always use OEM parts, especially on the engine, if you want your Jeep to last and not fail.
In addition, when you come to Dan Cummins Auto Group CDJR, you can find peace of mind knowing we are experts in all things Jeep. Our entire service team is factory certified and knows everything there is to know about Jeeps. Your engine requires a specific amount and type of oil, and our service team will know each immediately. An independent oil change facility might put too much, too little, or the wrong oil type, which could lead to catastrophic engine damage.
