The 2018 Dodge Journey requires 5w-20 oil for optimal performance. It is crucial to change the oil regularly, typically every 5,000 to 10,000 miles, to avoid engine problems. Using high-quality oil is essential for the engine to function smoothly. Neglecting to replace the oil can lead to engine issues, such as a burning smell or poor gas mileage. It is important to address any warning signs promptly to prevent potential engine damage or even a breakdown.
The 2018 Dodge Journey comes in seven different models, each with a choice of either a 4-cylinder or 6-cylinder engine. The Crossroad, SE, and SXT models with a 2.4 liter engine can use either 5W-20 or 0W-20 oil. The 3.6 liter versions of the Crossroad, GT, SE, and SXT all require the same type of oil, 5W-20 or 0W-20, but they hold more oil due to their higher capacity.
I inquired about the type of fuel and received a response mentioning oil.
American-made SAE 5W-20 Engine Oil approved by the API, and compliant with FCA Material Standard MS-6395, including brands like Mopar, Pennzoil, and Shell Helix. Make sure to check your oil filler cap for the right SAE grade.
