The 2018 Jeep Wrangler comes equipped with a 2.0L i-4 engine that holds 4 quarts of oil, while the 3.6L V6 engine requires 6 quarts, as recommended by the manufacturer. To keep your engine running smoothly, make sure to use SAE 0w-20 full synthetic oil and change the oil and filter every 3000-5000 miles. Neglecting this maintenance can result in the oil losing its viscosity and failing to properly lubricate critical engine components like the pistons and cylinders. Oil prices typically range from $5 to $10 per quart, depending on whether it is conventional or synthetic and the brand or quality. Don't forget to replace the oil filter whenever you change the oil. Remember, regular oil changes are crucial for your vehicle's performance, which is why newer models have an oil light that alerts you when it's time for a change.
The information provided earlier about the 3.6L engine in the 2018 Wrangler using 0W-20 oil may not be accurate. The latest version, Wrangler JL, indeed uses this type of oil. However, in the 2018 Wrangler JK with the same engine, the factory specification recommends using 5W-20 oil, just like its previous JK model.
The 2018 Jeep Wrangler comes with a synthetic oil option. The 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine requires SAE 5W-30 oil and can take up to 5 quarts. On the other hand, the 3.6-liter V6 engine uses SAE 0W-20 oil and holds 5 quarts of it.
I just finished changing the oil in my 2018 JLU with a 3.6L engine. I put in 5 quarts, but it only reached the minimum level on the dipstick, so I learned that the 2018 JL with a 3.6L engine actually requires 6 quarts of oil.
You are both correct. It just comes down to whether the 2018 model was a JK or JL version of the Wrangler.
I recently changed the oil in my 2018 Wrangler JL 2.0-liter engine. The manual recommended using 5 quarts, but when I drained the oil, only 4 quarts came out. I added the full recommended amount, but now the oil level appears to be too high. Any ideas on what could be causing this issue?
