# 2018-2025 Jeep Wrangler Oil Type and Capacity

The 2018-2025 Jeep Wrangler takes 0W-20 engine oil, 5 quarts with a filter change by engine. OEM filter Mopar 68191349AC (cartridge). Verified against factory documentation, with change intervals and aftermarket filter equivalents.

**Quick answer**: The 2018-2025 Jeep Wrangler (3.6L V6 (Pentastar, +eTorque mild hybrid on some trims/years)) takes 0W-20 full synthetic engine oil, 5 quarts with a filter change (OEM filter Mopar 68191349AC (cartridge)). Other engines differ; see the tables below.

## 2018-2025 Jeep Wrangler 3.6L V6 (Pentastar, +eTorque mild hybrid on some trims/years) oil (High confidence)

| Spec | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Viscosity | 0W-20 |
| Oil standard | API SN Plus/SP / ILSAC GF-5 or GF-6A / Chrysler MS-6395 |
| Capacity (with filter) | 5 qt / 4.7 L |
| Synthetic required | Yes |
| OEM filter | Mopar 68191349AC (cartridge) |
| Aftermarket filters | Fram XG10575, Wix 57062, Purolator L14459 |
| Change interval | Oil-life monitor determines interval, typically ~8,000-10,000 mi with full synthetic (normal); 5,000 mi (severe service) |

Note: Capacity dropped from 6 qt (JK) to 5 qt on the JL's revised Pentastar. Same oil-cooler/filter-housing cracking issue as the JK. Check for weeping at every service.

## 2018-2025 Jeep Wrangler 2.0L Turbo I4 ("Hurricane 4") oil (Check your manual)

| Spec | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Viscosity | 5W-30 |
| Oil standard | 2018-2020: API SN Plus; 2021+: API SP / ILSAC GF-6A |
| Capacity (with filter) | 5.5 qt / 5.2 L |
| Synthetic required | Yes |
| OEM filter | Mopar 68191349AC (cartridge, shared with the 3.6L) |
| Change interval | Oil-life monitor determines interval, typically ~8,000-10,000 mi (normal); 5,000 mi (severe service) |

Note: Some quick-reference charts round capacity to 5.0 qt. 5.5 qt with filter is the more commonly cited factory figure; verify on the dipstick.

## 2018-2025 Jeep Wrangler 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 oil (High confidence)

| Spec | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Viscosity | 5W-40 |
| Oil standard | Chrysler MS-12991 |
| Capacity (with filter) | 9 qt / 8.6 L |
| Synthetic required | Yes |
| OEM filter | Mopar 68507598AA (housing) / cartridge element, replaces 68498720AA on earlier production |
| Change interval | Oil-life monitor determines interval, typically ~10,000 mi (normal); 5,000 mi (severe service) |

Note: Also requires DEF top-offs (separate reservoir, not part of the oil system). DEF range is displayed on the driver information center.

## 2018-2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Plug-In Hybrid (2.0L Turbo I4 + electric motor) oil (Check your manual)

| Spec | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Viscosity | 5W-30 |
| Oil standard | API SP / ILSAC GF-6A |
| Capacity (with filter) | 5 qt / 4.7 L |
| Synthetic required | Yes |
| OEM filter | Mopar 68191349AC (cartridge, shared with the non-hybrid 2.0L) |
| Change interval | Oil-life monitor determines interval, typically ~8,000-10,000 mi (normal); 5,000 mi (severe service) |

Note: 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.

## 2018-2025 Jeep Wrangler 6.4L V8 ("392", Rubicon 392) oil (Check your manual)

| Spec | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Viscosity | 0W-40 |
| Oil standard | API SN / Chrysler MS-12633, full synthetic |
| Capacity (with filter) | 7 qt / 6.6 L |
| Synthetic required | Yes |
| OEM filter | Mopar MO-899 (04884899AC) |
| Change interval | Oil-life monitor determines interval, typically ~8,000 mi (normal); 5,000 mi (severe service) |

Note: 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.

## What changed during the 2018-2025 Jeep Wrangler

| Years | What changed |
| --- | --- |
| 2018 | JL 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. |
| 2019 | eTorque mild hybrid introduced as an option on the 2.0L turbo |
| 2020 | 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 added; eTorque became optional on the 3.6L V6 |
| 2021 | 4xe plug-in hybrid and Rubicon 392 (6.4L V8) both launch |
| 2022 | New High Tide and Beach special editions added; minor equipment shuffling across trims; 4xe becomes the only Wrangler variant offered in Europe |
| 2023 | Air 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 |
| 2024 | eTorque dropped from the lineup entirely |
| 2025 | 3.6L 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.
