The 2001 Jeep Cherokee is equipped with a 4.0 liter 6-cylinder engine that requires 10W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil when the temperature is above 0 degrees Fahrenheit and 5W-30 when it drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The vehicle has a oil capacity of 6 quarts with a filter, and the drain plug should be tightened to 25 foot-pounds of torque. Synthetic oil is artificially produced using chemical compounds and has fewer impurities compared to conventional oil. It's crucial to use oil to maintain a clean and smoothly running engine, as it helps lubricate parts to reduce friction. It's recommended to change the oil and filter every 12,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first. The average cost for an oil change ranges from $30 to $40 for labor.
