Could you please provide me with the recommended oil type and how much oil the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee requires?

The 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee's V6 engines require 5.9 US quarts of 5W-30 oil, while the V8 engines need 7 quarts of the same type of oil. It's important to refer to the owner's manual for the exact requirement depending on the trim level of the vehicle. Regular maintenance appointments are essential to keep the engine running smoothly, with recommended service intervals between 7,500 to 10,000 miles for synthetic products and 3,000 to 5,000 miles for conventional replacements. Opting for fully synthetic oil typically leads to improved gas mileage in most modern vehicles. Using 5W-30 oil is beneficial for ensuring proper lubrication in cold temperatures and reducing friction between engine components due to its thinner viscosity. Branded lubricants have been proven to offer twice as much protection against corrosion compared to aftermarket options. On average, a lube and filter service for the Cherokee costs around $160 to $170 for both parts and labor.
