The 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee's 3.0L V6 engine holds 8 quarts of synthetic-based 5W40 oil as per the factory specs, while the 3.6L V6 requires 6 quarts of the same oil. The 5.7L V8 engine in the SUV needs 7 quarts of 5W20 synthetic oil for both trim levels. It's possible to use cheaper conventional oil in the Jeep, but it won't provide as effective lubrication and will need more frequent changes. Full synthetic oil is recommended every 5500-7500 miles, while conventional oil should be changed at 3500 miles. An oil change at an auto service shop can be between $30-50 for conventional oil and $50-80 for synthetic oil.

The 5.7L V8 engine is best suited with 5W-20 oil and has an oil capacity of 7 quarts with a new filter. Lastly, the 6.4L V8 engine should use 0W-40 oil and also has an oil capacity of 7 quarts with the filter.
