★ Top Answer
The Jeep Patriot requires SAE 5W-20 motor oil, and it's recommended to opt for a full synthetic oil during oil changes. There are two main types of oil: synthetic, which is laboratory-engineered for enhanced protection compared to traditional petroleum-based conventional oil. Synthetic oil also has a longer lifespan, allowing for 7,500 miles between changes as opposed to 3,500 to 5,000 miles for conventional oil. It's important to regularly check your oil level monthly to ensure it's full and clean, as any debris or signs of burning could potentially harm your engine permanently.

The owner's manual for my 2016 Jeep Patriot Latitude doesn't mention whether to use synthetic or conventional oil. I personally opt for a synthetic blend because it allows for oil changes every 4000 miles. The factory fill is Pennzoil 5W-20.
