The 2016 Jeep Cherokee comes with different engine options. The 2.4-liter 4-cylinder requires 5.5 US quarts of 0W-20 oil, while the 3.2-liter 6-cylinder needs 5.9 US quarts of 5W-20. Jeep suggests changing the oil and filter every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months if using fully synthetic oil, and every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months for conventional oil. The benefits of synthetic oil over conventional oil include improved lubrication, longer time between oil changes, and better performance in harsh weather. Thin-viscosity oil moves more easily in cold weather, protecting the engine from friction and corrosion. On average, a lube and filter service for a Jeep Cherokee costs around $160-$170, including materials and labor.
The oil volume varies depending on the engine in a 2016 Jeep Cherokee. The 2.4L I-4 engine can contain 5.5 quarts, while the 3.2L V6 engine can hold 6 quarts. Both engines require an SAE 5W-20 synthetic blend oil.
The 3.2 liter engine requires 7 quarts of oil for an oil change. I recently changed the oil and added 6 quarts, but the level is still below the safe line.
