Some owners doing their own fill report the sump only takes ~4.75 qt to hit the full mark despite the 5-qt manual spec, fill by dipstick, not just by the book number.

Check your manual| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Viscosity | 0W-40 |

Sources disagree on exact capacity (6.7–7.5 qt quoted across dealer service pages and owner oil-change write-ups); 7 qt is the most commonly cited figure, but fill to the dipstick's full mark rather than trusting any single number.
Which Jeep Wrangler model years does this cover?
These oil specifications apply to every Jeep Wrangler built from 2018 through 2025 — the JL (3rd generation), off-road suv, solid front/rear axle (2-door; 4-door unlimited). Nothing in this specification changes between those model years. Pick your year for the engines it offered, what changed that year, and the problems recorded against it.
What changed during the 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler
- 2018JL launch; note that some dealers/titles carried over 'Wrangler JK' badging into 2018 for leftover previous-generation stock, a 2018-titled Wrangler may mechanically be a JK. Confirm by VIN/generation, not just model year.
- 2019eTorque mild hybrid introduced as an option on the 2.0L turbo
- 20203.0L EcoDiesel V6 added; eTorque became optional on the 3.6L V6
- 20214xe plug-in hybrid and Rubicon 392 (6.4L V8) both launch
- 2022New High Tide and Beach special editions added; minor equipment shuffling across trims; 4xe becomes the only Wrangler variant offered in Europe
- 2023Air conditioning becomes standard on all trims; Uconnect 4 replaces Uconnect 3 with a 7-in touchscreen standard (up from 5-in); Rubicon 20th Anniversary special edition
- 2024eTorque dropped from the lineup entirely
- 20253.6L V6 automatic reportedly phased toward manual-only on some trims as Jeep leans further into the 2.0L turbo and 4xe; verify current-year trim/engine availability before ordering parts
2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler oil: common questions
How many quarts of oil does a 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler take?
- It depends on the engine. The 3.6L V6 (Pentastar, +eTorque mild hybrid on some trims/years) takes 5 quarts; The 2.0L Turbo I4 ("Hurricane 4") takes 5.5 quarts; The 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 takes 9 quarts; The 4xe Plug-In Hybrid (2.0L Turbo I4 + electric motor) takes 5 quarts; The 6.4L V8 ("392", Rubicon 392) takes 7 quarts, all figures include a new filter.
What kind of oil does a 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler take?
- 0W-20 meeting API SN Plus/SP / ILSAC GF-5 or GF-6A / Chrysler MS-6395, full synthetic (required, not merely recommended). Other engines in this vehicle may differ; see the table above.
Can you use a different viscosity in a 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler?
- The factory specification is 0W-20 and no alternate grade is listed for this engine. Modern variable-valve-timing hardware is sized around the specified viscosity, so substituting a thicker oil is not a free choice.
How often does a 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler need an oil change?
- Oil-life monitor determines interval, typically ~8,000–10,000 mi with full synthetic (normal); 5,000 mi (severe service). Short trips, towing, extended idling, and dusty or very cold conditions all put the vehicle on the severe-service side of that interval.
What oil filter does a 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler take?
- The OEM filter is Mopar 68191349AC (cartridge). Common equivalents: Fram XG10575, Wix 57062, Purolator L14459.
