- This applies to gas-only 3.6L Pentastar Grand Cherokee (WL) models, not the 2.0T 4xe plug-in hybrid, which has a separate oil specification.
- The 10,000-mile figure is the manual's stated ceiling under the electronic oil-change indicator system — Mopar's handbook says intervals should 'under no circumstances' exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km), 12 months, or 350 hours of engine run time, whichever comes first, with service recommended within 500 miles of the indicator illuminating.
- The manual does not give a separate fixed mileage figure for severe-service oil changes specifically — it notes more frequent maintenance may be needed in severe conditions without a numeric oil-change interval, so no severe_interval is published here.
- A specific OEM oil filter part number and drain-plug torque spec were not found anywhere in the owner's handbook — including a full-text search for torque specifications — so both are omitted rather than sourced from third-party retailers or forum posts.
- engine_code reflects the exact wording the Mopar handbook itself uses ('3.6L Engine') — it never states a factory alphanumeric block code. A code (commonly cited elsewhere as ERB) circulates on third-party parts and enthusiast sites, but was not independently confirmed from a Stellantis/Mopar-operated source during this research pass, so it is not used here.
Complete Oil Specifications
Your 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee equipped with the gas-only 3.6L Pentastar V6 requires 0W-20 full synthetic oil meeting API SP and Chrysler’s own Material Standard MS-6395, per the Mopar owner’s handbook.
Capacity
The 3.6L Pentastar holds 5 quarts (4.7 liters) of oil with a new filter.
Service Interval
Rather than a fixed mileage schedule, the Grand Cherokee uses an electronic oil-change indicator. Mopar’s handbook is explicit that intervals should never exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km), 12 months, or 350 hours of engine run time, whichever comes first — service is recommended within 500 miles of the indicator illuminating. The manual doesn’t give a separate numeric figure for severe-service oil changes; it only notes qualitatively that more frequent maintenance may be needed under severe conditions.
Installation Details
Filter: Mopar’s handbook recommends a genuine Mopar Engine Oil Filter, or any filter meeting the SAE/USCAR-36 standard. No specific OEM part number is published in the consumer handbook — confirm the correct filter for your VIN with a Mopar parts counter.
