What is the 2014 Jeep Patriot’s oil type?

I’m trying to save money by learning to do some car maintenance on my own. I’m about to try my first oil change, but I want to make sure I’ve got the right supplies. What is the 2014 Jeep Patriot’s oil type?

If you want to do an oil change on a 2014
Jeep Patriot
, you’ll need to visit your local auto parts shop and pick up five quarts of SAE 5W-20 engine oil. We recommend using synthetic motor oil since it’s more stable and provides better lubrication than conventional oil.
If you’re strapped for cash, conventional oil costs a few dollars less than synthetic oil—but synthetic oil will save you money over the life of your car since you’ll need to replace it less often. Cars that use conventional oil require an oil change every 5,000 miles or so, while cars that use synthetic oil can run for up to 15,000 miles between oil changes.
