When it comes to maintaining our 2019 Jeep Cherokee, knowing the right type of oil is key to keeping everything running smoothly. For the 2.0L engine, we need SAE 5W-30 synthetic oil. It’s a small detail, but it makes a big difference in performance and reliability. Trust me, folks, your SUV will thank you for it!
Now, if you’re like us and own a 2.4L engine, you’ll want to go for SAE 0W-20 oil. It’s like choosing the right pair of shoes for your car—it just fits better and runs smoother. Plus, with a capacity of 5.5 quarts, you know exactly how much to get, so no guesswork there!
👀 Ever felt that sense of satisfaction when you do something right the first time? Using the correct oil is just like that. Whether it’s summer heat or those winter chills, getting the oil right means our Jeep Cherokee handles it all like a champ. Who knew oil could make us so happy? 😊
Oil Type For 2019 Jeep Cherokee
When choosing the right oil for our 2019 Jeep Cherokee, it’s essential to consider the engine type. This SUV comes with three engine options, and each has its specific oil requirements.
For the 2.4L inline-4 engine, we should go for SAE 0W-20. This engine takes about 5.5 quarts of oil. Using full synthetic oil is often recommended for better performance.
If we have the 3.2L V6 engine, the recommended oil is SAE 5W-30, and it holds roughly 5.9 quarts. It’s crucial to use high-quality oil, like Mopar SAE 5W-30, to comply with the FCA Material Standard MS-6395.
For the 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 engine, SAE 5W-30 is also preferred. This engine has an oil capacity of around 5 quarts. Using oils from reputable brands like Pennzoil or Mobil 1 ensures that we maintain engine health and performance.
To make our decision easier, here’s a quick reference:
| Engine | Oil Type | Capacity |
| 2.4L I4 | SAE 0W-20 | 5.5 quarts |
| 3.2L V6 | SAE 5W-30 | 5.9 quarts |
| 2.0L Turbo | SAE 5W-30 | 5 quarts |
🔧 Ensuring we use the correct oil type is key to keeping our 2019 Jeep Cherokee running smoothly and efficiently. Let’s treat our engines with the care they deserve!
Checking Oil Levels
Regularly checking the oil level in our 2019 Jeep Cherokee ensures it runs smoothly and lasts longer 🛠️.
First, make sure the SUV is on a flat surface. Turn off the engine and wait a few minutes for the oil to settle.
Next, pop the hood and find the dipstick (usually with a bright handle). Pull it out and wipe it clean.
Push the dipstick back in, wait a second, and then pull it out again.
Look at the oil mark against the dipstick indicators. The oil should be within the safe range– between the “Minimum” and “Maximum” marks.
☑️ If the oil level is below the “Minimum,” we need to add oil. Remember to use the type recommended for our specific engine.
For quick reference:
| Engine | Oil Type |
| 2.4L I4 | SAE 0W-20 |
| 2.0L I4 Turbo | SAE 5W-30 |
| 3.2L V6 | Check manual |
Adding oil is simple. Remove the oil cap, pour in the new oil, and recheck the levels. Do it slowly to avoid overfilling.
Remember to check the oil level during our routine maintenance. It’s key to keeping our Jeep Cherokee performing its best! 🏁
How To Change The Oil
Changing the oil in your 2019 Jeep Cherokee is a chore we can handle together. 🛠️ First, let’s gather the tools and supplies we need.
| Tools and Supplies | Details |
| Oil Filter Wrench | For removing the oil filter |
| Drain Pan | To catch old oil |
| Socket Wrench | To remove the drain plug |
| New Oil Filter | The correct filter for your engine |
| New Oil | Check your manual for the right type |
🏁 Now let’s roll up our sleeves! Pop the hood and locate the oil cap and dipstick. 🛠️ Next, slide under the vehicle and find the oil pan.
- Place your drain pan under the oil pan.
- Use a socket wrench to remove the drain plug. Let the oil drain out completely.
Divert your attention to the filter. Use the oil filter wrench to spin off the old filter. 🚨 Be careful because it might still have oil in it.
Before installing the new filter, lubricate the gasket with a bit of new oil. Install the new filter snugly, but don’t overtighten. 🔧
Refit the oil drain plug securely and move topside. Remove the oil cap and add the correct amount of oil. 🚗
Finally, start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. 💡 Check for leaks, then turn off the car and check the oil level with the dipstick. Adjust if needed, then replace the oil cap and close the hood.
There we go, job done! 💨
