The 2012 Jeep Patriot requires SAE 5W-20 oil for its engine, and Jeep suggests using synthetic oil for better wear protection. There are two main types of oil available: synthetic and conventional. Synthetic oil is a newer kind that offers improved wear protection for engine moving parts and breaks down slower than traditional petroleum-based options. This means you can go 7,500 miles between synthetic oil changes compared to 3,500 to 5,000 miles for conventional oil. It's recommended to check your vehicle's oil monthly to ensure it's at the correct level and clean from any debris.
