The 2018 Jeep Renegade recommends using SAE 5W-40 synthetic oil for better protection. There are two main types of oil available: conventional, which is petroleum-based and older; and synthetic, which is newer and laboratory-engineered for improved lubrication. Synthetic oil lasts longer than conventional, requiring changes every 7,500 miles compared to 3,500 to 5,000 miles for conventional. It is important to check your oil monthly to ensure it is at the proper level and free from debris or burning indications.

    In 2018, the Jeep Renegade comes in various models with different engines. The 1.4 liter engine versions - the Latitude, Altitude, and Sport - require 5w-40 viscosity oil meeting Chrysler MS-12991 specifications. Meanwhile, the 2.4 liter engine versions - such as the Latitude, Limited, Sport, Trailhawk, and Upland Edition - need 0w-20 oil that meets Chrysler MS-6395 standards. It's essential that these vehicles are filled with API certified oil that meets the Chrysler MS requirement and is a Euro blend. This is particularly important because the 2018 Jeep Renegade uses a Fiat 500X engine, necessitating special attention when it comes to selecting the right type of oil.

    In 2018, my Jeep Renegade Latitude was using up a quart of oil every month, so I switched to a heavier oil and it appears to be more long-lasting now.
