ALL TYPES OF VEGETABLE OIL .......... I USE MAZZOLA.........................
I am the original owner of a 2012 Liberty KK 4WD. 5w20 Synthetic Blend is the factory recommended oil. My average M/Y is 6-7 K , so I change it twice a year. I have gone one full year between changes, but those were a couple times of only 5K driving. I have used the best available oil as noted and a couple time used full synthetic. Now 13 ys old, it only has 66K on it. Runs very strong and quiet. Going to service the transmission this spring. FYI...Uniroyal Loredo tires work extremely well with this vehicle, and are excellent in snow.
What type of oil does a 2012 Jeep liberty Jet édition take? I am finding conflicting information online. I see 5w 30 and 5w 20 but I am not sure which one to buy? I just purchased this vehicle a few months ago and it has 85,000 miles on it
