Jeep Cherokee Oil Change

Motor Oil Maintenance

The Jeep Cherokee engine requires routine oil changes to get the most out of it for as long as possible. Oil changes are essential for engine maintenance because it removes sludgy oil with accumulated debris while introducing a fresh lubricant of the thinnest viscosity. Oil change service involves removing the old oil and oil filter, inspecting the engine for leaks, and installing genuine Mopar OEM motor oil and oil filters to specifications.

Conventional Oil

Conventional oil is manufactured using mineral oil extracted from the ground. It is refined significantly to ready it for lubricating combustion engines and contains additives that improve its viscosity and resistance to thermal breakdown. Jeep Cherokees running on conventional motor oil will need to get a change service every 3,000 to 5,000 miles as detailed in the owner’s booklet.

Synthetic Oil

Synthetic oil is made with petroleum resources but is considered a human-made lubricant because of the significant refinement and additives that the final product contains. The advanced processing delivers premium lubrication via a smaller molecule with thinner viscosity and resistance to thermal breakdown.

Why Get Oil Change Service Now?

Oil changes are vital for the engine’s performance and longevity. The best decision to get oil changes at the recommended miles with conventional oil changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, and synthetic changed every 7,500 to 10,000 miles.

What Happens When Motor Oil is Not Changed?

Neglecting this recommendation will invite engine trouble beginning with the broken-down oil causing increased friction and heat. Continued neglect will allow for these unfortunate outcomes:

• Reduced fuel efficiency
• Engine’s moving parts get premature wear and tear
• Reduced overall vehicle reliability
• Increased operational cost
• Engine overheating
• Shorter engine life
