Can I change my Jeep oil on my own?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.

Jeep recommends having your 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.
