Why check the motor oil level in my Jeep Patriot?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Jeep Patriot engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

Can I change my Jeep Patriot oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Jeep Patriot exhaust smoke grayish or blue?
