Jeep Renegade Oil Type by Engine

Jeep Renegade models have been offered with tons of different engine options over the years, so it’s a good idea to check your owner’s manual to see what the manufacturer recommends. In general, models with a 1.4L engine will use SAE 5W-40 full synthetic oil, and models with a 2.4L engine use SAE 0W-20 full synthetic oil. If you have an older model from 2017 or later, you might need SAE 0W-30 full synthetic oil instead. And of course, don’t hesitate to ask our service team if you have any questions.

Synthetic vs. Conventional Oil

No matter which grade you need, experts almost universally recommend synthetic oil for Jeep models. Why? Take a look below to learn more:

• Both synthetic and conventional oils are petroleum-based, but synthetic oil goes a step beyond conventional oil. Synthetic is refined further to create a more chemically stable formula.
• Because it’s durable, synthetic oil lasts longer in between oil changes. That means you can schedule your oil changes further apart – around 7,500 to 10,000 miles!
• Synthetic oil may cost a little more upfront compared to conventional oil, but once again, you can go a lot longer in between service visits. That means the price difference is negligible. 

Jeep Renegade Oil Reset

If you visit our service center for your oil change, we’ll make sure to reset the oil change and turn off the dashboard light for you. But if you do your oil changes at home in Bentonville, you might need to perform the Jeep Renegade oil reset manually. Here’s how it’s done:

• Pop into the menu settings.
• Use the steering wheel controls until you get to the “Vehicle Info” section.
• Select the for the “Oil Life” setting.
• Press and hold the OK button until the oil life percentage resets.
