My question was more towards synthetic or non-synthetic. I am pretty sure going to the dealer will use name brand e.g. mopar.

If it calls for 0W-20; it will be synthetic.

I just spoke to my sales guy who sold me the jeep, and I am conthoroughly fused. He says the service will know which oil to put specific to your jeep, and also said some cars can take ONLY regular oil, and some cars can take ONLY synthetic. I thought synthetic oil is good and is safe for all cars, regardless. What the heck is " some cars can only take regular oil" ??

Carbobsteel thanks for your reply but how do I know "If it calls for 0W-20; it will be synthetic." ?

Sorry if these questions sound dumb. I have lots of car and driving experience (35+ years), and I know every car oil recommendation is different, plus I'd rather ask than be sorry later.

Unless something has changed in the last five minutes, there is no 0W-20 oil that is not synthetic. I have never seen a conventional or synthetic blend oil that was 0W-20.

Just tell them to change the oil, they [should] know what to do.

OP, your dealer will put in the oil that is mentioned on page 314 Of your owners manual.

And if you're lucky, you'll get an extra quart for free.

Depends in which motor. The 2.0LT uses SN plus 5-30w. The dealer spec for this is Pennzoil. I use the SN plus for boosted engines by Amsoil. Dealers can't seem to get that its only 5 Qts not 6 like the previous models.

He posted in the 3.6 board so folks Above are assuming that he has a 3.6.
