Thank you very much for the confirmation! I took a picture of my Filter and that is the product number I had. I just could not match it up at Autozone. Any reason why you chose the 0w 20 rather than 5w 30, that I believe is recommended?

The 2.0L should use 5W-30. 0W-20 is for the 3.6L.

I’m trying to find the article of where I read this. But something along the lines of the lighter weight and viscosity is better for the 2.0 if I ever come across the info I will definitely share. I did notice a improvement in fuel efficiency with the 0W-20.

Does it meet the required specification in the manual? If not, you should consider not posting about your oil choice, as it will likely invalidate your warranty. You should not be using different weight oil than specified, especially in a turbocharged engine. It's going to sheer that 0W-20 down into nothing in no time flat, and you're going to have a really bad day. I'd hate to see a UOA on your oil right now, it's probably a 15 weight or less at this point. Go get your oil changed in a hurry before you have serious issues.

Yes, thank you for the heads up. From what I read the numbers match the specifications.

There was a recall on the oil in the 2.0L
Earlier models had the wrong oil and oil cap. They had 5w-20. Recall involves oil change to 5w-30 and a new oil cap that states to use 5w-30.

And further to that they said to change to SN PLUS, not just SN. The SN PLUS is required to mitigate turbo GDI engine low speed pre-ignition.

Thank you guys, easiest oil change ever!

How do you know the oil had any impact to increased fuel efficiency? Did you drive a prescribed course at the same speed with a measured amount of gas in the same weather and traffic conditions prior to the oil change and then after? That's the only way to know for sure assuming all other conditions are kept constant.

Well I went from 18-19mpg hwy to 22-26mpg pretty drastic results no matter the constant.

How many miles on the Jeep though? Oil may have certainly come into play but the 2.0 has a tendency to get better MPG's as they break in. Also seasonal gas mixtures and octane's come into play as well, along with subconscious driving habit changes. Again... Oil can certainly be a factor but there's a lot of other things that could be in play.

I currently have 9,500 miles.
