The 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee comes with a 4.7-liter V8 engine that requires 5 US quarts of 5W-30 motor oil, while the 5.7-liter V8 Hemi engine needs 6 US quarts of the same oil. It is recommended to change the oil and filter every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months with fully synthetic oil, or every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months with conventional oil. Synthetic oils offer advantages such as better lubrication, longer service intervals, and improved performance in extreme weather conditions. Thinner viscosity oils are ideal for cold temperatures as they provide efficient coating and superior protection against friction and corrosion. Typically, a lube and filter service for the Jeep Grand Cherokee costs between $170-$200 including parts and labor.

    I've driven 334,000 miles and switched to using synthetic 10W-30 oil after the first 50,000 miles. No issues with leaks.
