What Oil Does a 2017 Jeep RENEGADE Take?

Choosing the correct motor oil is vital to protect the RENEGADE’s 2.4L [T] ED6 4 Flex engine. Jeep engineers specify 0W-20 synthetic oil for best results, regardless of climate. The synthetic blend is designed for optimal engine protection, lubrication, and fuel economy in all temperature extremes the RENEGADE may face.

• 0W-20 (All Temperatures): The only recommended viscosity, offering instant cold-weather flow and robust hot-conditions protection.

While alternative viscosities are sometimes suggested for legacy models, Jeep’s official documentation for the 2017 RENEGADE 2.4L confirms 0W-20 is the only approved grade. Choosing this oil supports longer intervals and reduces engine deposits, keeping your vehicle’s warranty protected and the engine performing at its best.

2017 Jeep RENEGADE Oil Capacity

The engine oil capacity for the 2017 Jeep RENEGADE 2.4L is 5.5 U.S. quarts (with filter change). When changing oil at home or evaluating the service you receive, it’s important to:

• Fill to 5.5 quarts, then use the dipstick to check for proper level—oil should be between the “MIN” and “MAX” marks.
• Overfilling past the MAX mark can cause foam, reduced lubrication, oil pressure loss, and possible engine damage.

Properly filling your engine to its exact oil capacity ensures ideal pressure and system protection.

How Often Should You Change the Oil on a 2017 Jeep RENEGADE?

Adhering to the right oil change interval maximizes your RENEGADE’s engine health and warranty coverage. For the 2017 Jeep RENEGADE 2.4L with 0W-20 full synthetic oil, Jeep recommends oil and filter changes every 7,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Depending on your driving style and environment, these intervals may adjust:

• Full Synthetic Oil: 7,500 miles/12 months (per manufacturer)
• Conventional Oil: Not recommended—always use 0W-20 synthetic

Shorter intervals (every 5,000 miles) are wise if you frequently:

• Drive in stop-and-go city traffic
• Tow heavy loads or drive in mountainous areas
• Experience extreme hot or cold climate swings
• See warning indicators or dirty oil on dipstick

Checking your oil condition and monitoring mileage between services helps ensure engine longevity.

Oil Filter for the 2017 Jeep RENEGADE

Your oil filter protects your engine by trapping harmful debris and contaminants that accumulate over time. For the 2017 Jeep RENEGADE 2.4L, Costa Oil uses the COF1403 oil filter—engineered to meet or exceed OEM filtration standards and ensure perfect fit and flow. We also offer the COF2222 as an alternate fit, both of which are tested for performance and longevity.

• Why premium matters: High-quality oil filters prevent premature engine wear and safeguard engine life—generic or low-grade filters may fail to catch fine particles or could leak.
• OEM-spec quality: Costa Oil uses only filters that match or surpass Jeep’s specifications, so your engine gets dealership-level protection every time.

Don’t forget about your Costa Oil Air Filter and Costa Oil Cabin Air Filter for a complete maintenance routine.
