* 5W-30 This is a common viscosity grade for many vehicles, including likely your Jeep Liberty.
* API certified oil: Look for an oil that meets or exceeds the API (American Petroleum Institute) service classifications recommended in your owner's manual. This will ensure the oil meets the necessary performance standards.
* Synthetic blend or conventional oil: Your owner's manual will specify if synthetic blend or full synthetic is preferred, or if conventional is acceptable.
To find the exact specifications:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the most accurate source of information. It will list the recommended oil type, viscosity, and API certification for your specific engine.
2. Check the oil fill cap: Sometimes, the recommended oil type is printed on the oil fill cap.
3. Look under the hood: There might be a sticker under the hood providing maintenance information, including recommended oil type.
Using the incorrect oil can damage your engine, so it is crucial to use the correct type specified by Jeep.
