Your 2020 Journey’s oil should be changed according to Dodge’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your Journey may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Dodge Journey. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
