Oil Change Q&A
These are some of the questions we hear most often about oil changes for Jeep SUVs and other vehicles.
- Question: How often do I need an oil change?
- Answer: This will vary a little based on the age of your Jeep model, but with most recent model years, you’ll want to get an oil change every 5,000-8,000 miles or every six months. For the most accurate schedule, take a look at your owner’s manual.
- Question: Why do I need oil changes so often?
- Answer: As motor oil moves through your engine, it not only lubricates the parts but also keeps the engine from overheating and picks up dirt and debris that could damage your vehicle or hamper performance. But all that heat eventually wears down the oil, and it can get clogged with the debris it picks up, reducing its ability to do its job.
- Question: What kind of motor oil does my car need?
- Answer: Synthetic, conventional, synthetic blend, and more – we can see why this would be confusing. The answer depends a lot on how you’re using your vehicle, and our service experts can make good recommendations. But generally speaking, older models with a regular driving style will use conventional, synthetic blend is a good default if you’re unsure, and fully synthetic is good for very high-tech engines or extreme temperatures.
