Each configuration of the 2015 Dodge Journey comes with one of two different engines -- You may either have the 2.4L 4Cylinder engine, or the larger 3.6L V6. In either case, You'll be using SAE 5W-20 full synthetic, though You can safely substitute SAE 5W-30 over the short term. However, capacity varies; the smaller engine takeS4.5 quarts, while the larger requireS5.9. The substitution iMention above is permissible, but not recommended; using engine oil with a higher viscosity is therefore thicker, and can cause premature engine wear and tear. Over time, this causes an early engine failure, so please remember to use the manufacturer's recommended oil with the lowest weight when possible, even if it costs You a bit more when You get an oil change.
