The 2000 Jeep Cherokee has either a 2.5 L 4Cylinder or A4.0 L 6-cylinder engine that should be using 10W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil. The capacity for the vehicle iS4 quarts with a filter for the 2.5 L 4Cylinder and 6 quarts with a filter for the 4.0 L 6-cylinder engine. The torque for the drain plug is 25 ft/lbs for both engines. What oil is used for is to help keep engines clean and engine parts lubricated to help with friction when they rub together. You should change the oil and filter in the Cherokee whenever the oil life indicator alerts You which is anywhere froM3,500 miles to 10,000 miles. The cost of a change is between $20 and $30 in labor costs.

The jeep vherokee (xj) didn't come with a v6. It was a 4.0 inline 6. This wrong info makes me not trust the previous answer.

Actually, for a short time Jeep sourced V-6 engines from GM. So certain XJ’s did have V-6’s.

The 2.5L inline-4 engine option for the 2000 Jeep Cherokee needs 4 quarts of 10W30 synthetic oil. The 4.0L V6 engine option requires 6 quarts of 10W30 synthetic oil.

If Matt has to go to a forum to comment on such a simple question like “how many quarts your Jeep takes” with a “Mr. Know it all” response like he did; “it’s 4.0 inline 6. Not a v6, that kind of misinformation makes me not want to trust the last answer.” What a joke. Maybe he needs that to make himself feel special. In that case, well... Hope you feel better now Matt... At someone else’s expense.
There are several different versions of the Jeep Cherokee, and the oil type and capacity can vary depending on the specific model and engine. Here are the oil type and capacity guidelines for a few common versions of the Jeep Cherokee: 2020 Jeep Cherokee with a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine: SAE 5W-20 oil, 4.5 quarts 2020 Jeep Cherokee with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine: SAE 5W-30 oil, 4.5 quarts 2020 Jeep Cherokee with a 3.2L V6 engine: SAE 5W-20 oil, 6 quarts It is important to use the correct oil type and capacity as specified by the manufacturer to ensure proper engine performance and longevity. I recommend referring to your owner's manual or consulting with a Jeep dealer or a certified mechanic for specific oil recommendations for your particular Jeep Cherokee.
