In the 2017 Jeep Renegade, the type of oil to use depends on the engine installed. For the 2.4 liter engines, it is recommended to use Mopar SAE 0W-20 engine oils that are API Certified and meet FCA Material Standard MS6395. If you have the 1.4 liter Turbo engine, use Mopar SAE 5W-40 synthetic engine oil meeting FCA Material Standard MS-12991. Preferred brands like Pennzoil, Shell Helix, or equivalents that meet quality standards and viscosity rating are advised by Jeep. The Renegade comes with an engine oil change indicator system that monitors engine use and driving style to determine the need for an oil change. When the "Oil Change Due" message appears, make sure to get your oil changed promptly.

    In the 2017 Jeep Renegade lineup, each engine option requires synthetic oil with different thickness and volume specifications. For example, the 1.4-liter 4-cylinder engine utilizes SAE 5W-40 oil and needs 4 quarts, while the 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine uses SAE 0W-20 oil and holds 5.5 quarts, including the filter when it's dry.
