The oil filter in a 2014 Dodge Journey is located on the left side of the engine beneath a cover, held in place by a black cap. It can be found near the oil filler opening. The Pentastar 3.6 liter V6 engine requires 5.9 US quarts of 5W-20 oil along with a new filter when changing the oil. For synthetic lubricants, filter replacements should be done every 7,500-10,000 miles or annually, while for conventional replacements, it should be done every 3,000-5,000 miles or every 6 months. Synthetic oils offer advantages such as improved lubrication between moving parts, longer service intervals, and better performance in harsh weather conditions. Thin viscosity oils move more efficiently in cold temperatures, providing thorough protection against friction and corrosion for engine components.
In the 2014 Dodge Journey, you can find the oil filter positioned at the bottom of the engine beside the oil pan.
