What's the 2012 jeep patriot oil type?

The 2012 Jeep Patriot uses SAE 5W-20 oil in the engine. Jeep recommends that You use synthetic oil whenever You need to change it in Your vehicle. The two common types of oil on the market these days are synthetic and conventional. Synthetic is a newer type of oil that is engineered to give You greater wear protection for the moving components in Your engine. It is also designed to break down slower than petroleum based conventional options. That means that You can go 7,500 miles between changes with synthetic compared to 3,500 to 5,000 miles with conventional. You should check the oil in Your vehicle at least once a month to make sure that it is full and free from any signs of debris.
