The 2018 Jeep Cherokee can utilize synthetic oil, but it's not mandatory. Most mechanics recommend using this type of oil. Synthetic oil is manufactured differently from traditional motor oil made from crude oil. Chemicals left in conventional motor oil during refining can harm your engine over time. Synthetic oils are crafted with precision to exclude unwanted elements, allowing longer intervals between changes and extending your engine's lifespan significantly. Hence, it's best to use synthetic oil in your Cherokee, even though it can run on conventional oil.

    In 2018, the Jeep Cherokee lineup offers various models with a 4-cylinder engine, including the Latitude, Latitude Plus, Limited, Overland, and Trailhawk 4WD. These models with a 2.4-liter engine specifically require 0w-20 synthetic oil, irrespective of their different drivetrain configurations. On the other hand, the Outlander trim, which boasts a larger 3.2-liter engine, can opt for either synthetic blend or fully synthetic oil. The synthetic blend uses 5w-20 viscosity, while the fully synthetic uses 0w-20 viscosity.
