When to Change 2015 Jeep Patriot Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2015 Jeep Patriot? Get the advice you need at 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.”

Jeep recommends having your 2015 Jeep Patriot’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Patriot in the above table. Outside of Jeep-recommended oil change intervals, your Patriot may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Jeep recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Jeep Patriot. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
