Jeep Grand Cherokee Oil Change Interval & Oil Type
Compiled & reviewed by Nikolai Tsyrenov · Updated 2026-07-18
When to change the oil on a 2022-2024 (WL) Jeep Grand Cherokee, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | Oil monitor ~8,000-10,000 mi; severe/off-road sooner |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 3.6L Pentastar V6, 2.0L turbo, or 4xe PHEV (5.7 HEMI in earlier WK2); 0W-20 synthetic; 8-speed auto |
| Oil filter | Replace with every oil change |
Jeep Grand Cherokee note: The 3.6 Pentastar is a plug-at-~100k, chain-driven, low-fuss V6; the 4xe plug-in hybrid adds its own e-axle items. As an off-roader, axle/transfer-case fluids are the recurring real job.
