The Jeep Wrangler name is synonymous with adventure. If you take your Wrangler off-roading in the KY countryside, the last thing you would want is the engine to go out midway through your ride. You can prevent this through routine oil changes. Keep reading to learn more about how to take care of your Wrangler’s engine.
The first step in your Jeep Wrangler’s engine maintenance is knowing when to come into the dealership for an oil change. The 2022 Jeep Wrangler’s Owner’s Manual recommends only using fully synthetic oil, which should be changed at a dealership every 7,500 – 10,000 miles. If you have an older model Wrangler that uses conventional oil, you should get your oil changed every 3,000 – 5,000 miles. If you want to make sure you’re coming in at the proper intervals, you can work out a service schedule with your service advisor at Dan Cummins Auto Group.
If you are unsure if you should come in for an oil change, you can check your motor oil level easily. All you have to do is park your Wrangler on a level surface, turn the engine off, and wait about five minutes for the engine to cool off. Then, you remove the dipstick, wipe it on a paper towel or rag, and re-insert it. When you remove it again, check the consistency/color of the oil and the oil level. If it is below the first notch or the wrong consistency, it is time for you to come into Dan Cummins Auto Group for an oil change. You should do this every two weeks, in addition to maintaining routine oil change intervals, to ensure your Wrangler’s engine stays at peak performance.
When you come in for an oil change at Dan Cummins Auto Group CDJR, your service advisor will likely ask which oil type you prefer to use. The answer depends on the age, trim, and mileage of your Wrangler. The 2022 Jeep Wrangler’s two engine types, and their corresponding recommended oil types, are:
Full synthetic, API-certified, Mopar engine oils are always recommended for the 2022 Wranglers.
If you have an older Wrangler or one with high mileage, you should consult with a service advisor at Dan Cummins Auto Group to find the best oil type for your engine.
The different Wrangler engine types have their own oil capacities. According to the 2022 Jeep Wrangler’s Owner’s Manual, the oil capacities are:
If you have an older or higher mileage engine, speak with one of our service advisors to find your Jeep’s recommended oil capacity.
The Jeep Wrangler’s Owner’s Manual always recommends using full synthetic oil. Synthetic oil is always the best choice because it is chemically engineered to work better in extreme high and low temperatures. It’s the best choice for most new and high-performance vehicles.
Synthetic blend oil is the second type. It’s a combination of conventional and synthetic oils, made to resist oxidation and work well in low temperatures.
The third type is conventional motor oil. It is best suited to simple engine designs and normal driving conditions.
The final type is high mileage motor oil. It is made for vehicles over 75,000 miles and helps condition oil seals to prevent leaks.
The price of a Jeep Wrangler oil change depends on the type of oil you’re using, the amount you need, and where you go. At Dan Cummins Auto Group, we estimate a cost of $46.45. This includes:
This price can vary depending on your Wrangler’s recommended oil type and capacity. If you want a more extensive service, we also offer a Maintenance I package for only $59.95, which includes:
If you’re unsure which package you want, your service advisor can recommend the best package for your Wrangler.
It is always the best idea to come into a dealership for an oil change. At Dan Cummins Auto Group, we always use Mopar and factory-certified parts, which are guaranteed to function well with your Wrangler. Aftermarket parts do not have this same guarantee.
