What is the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s oil type?
I want to learn how to do some car maintenance on my own, so I’ve been watching video tutorials on how to do an oil change. I think I’m ready to give it a try, only I’m not sure what kind of motor oil I need. What is the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s oil type?

Knowing how to do some basic car maintenance is a great skill to have, and can lead to major savings over your car’s lifespan!
Jeep
recommends using SAE 5W-20 motor oil for a 2014 Grand Cherokee
, which you should be able to find at any auto parts shop or big box store. If this is your first oil change, here are some things you can do to get ready:
- Make sure the area where you plan to work is clean, and level enough to safely operate a floor jack. Check that you have enough space to easily move in and out from under the car.
- Find an easy-to-reach area to store your supplies. In addition to motor oil, you’ll also need a new filter, a wrench that fits your drain plug, a drip pan, and safety goggles. Keep rags or paper towels nearby to catch spills.
- If you have a friend or family member who has experience working on cars, ask them if they’ll guide you through the process. Alternatively, keep your phone or tablet close by so you can reference YouTube videos while you work.
Did you know that doing your own oil change can save you up to $75 in labor charges alone? Since most cars need their oil changed about twice a year, those savings add up fast! Another great way to save money is by shopping for
