When to Change 2012 Jeep Liberty Engine Oil

Need more info about 2012 Jeep Liberty oil changes? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2012 Liberty’s oil should be changed according to Jeep’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Liberty in the above table. Outside of Jeep-recommended oil change intervals, your Liberty may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Jeep if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Jeep Liberty. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What Type of Oil Does My Jeep Liberty Need?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2012 Jeep Liberty motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Jeep has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 2012 Jeep Liberty vehicles. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, regulate engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During an oil change, an auto technician will change your Liberty’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Liberty by taking into account your driving style, and odometer.
