In 2015, every version of the Dodge Journey is equipped with one of two engine options. You can select either the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine or opt for the larger 3.6L V6. No matter which engine you choose, you should use SAE 5W-20 full synthetic oil; however, temporarily switching to SAE 5W-30 is acceptable. Keep in mind that the smaller engine requires 4.5 quarts of oil, while the larger one needs 5.9 quarts. Although you can substitute the oil as mentioned, it's not recommended. Using a thicker oil can lead to premature engine wear and potential failure. To ensure the health of your engine, it's best to stick to the manufacturer's specified oil, even if it's a bit pricier during oil changes.
The recommended engine oil for the 2015 Dodge Journey is a 5W-20 type that meets Chrysler MS-6395 standards. Alternatively, you can also use 0W-20 oil.
