The 2016 Jeep Compass is available with either a 2 liter or 2.5 liter engine, and both hold 5 US quarts of 5W-20 motor oil. Using an oil like 5W-20 ensures the engine stays adequately lubricated in colder temperatures and promotes less friction between important engine parts due to its leaner viscosity. Jeep recommends changing the oil and filter every 7,500 - 10,000 miles using fully synthetic products and every 3,000 - 5,000 miles if using conventional oil. The advantages of synthetic vs conventional oil include better lubrication, a longer interval between service appointments and more effectiveness in colder temperatures. Branded lubricants have also been shown to provide up to 2x more protection against corrosion than aftermarket replacements. Cost for a lube and filter job for the Jeep CompassRanges between $125-$135 in parts and labor.
