2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Oil Specifications
Manufacturer‑specified oil viscosity and exact oil capacity vary with engine options and production details; the most reliable source for the correct viscosity and quart capacity is the vehicle's owner’s manual or the service advisor using the vehicle's VIN and engine code. The 3.6L V6 in this platform is identified by engine code 6VNAG3.6; the dealer will supply the OEM‑approved oil and a matching OEM filter during service to preserve performance and factory recommendations.
Severe‑duty conditions—frequent towing, off‑road use, or many short trips in cold Utah winters—can shorten effective oil life and may require more frequent changes than the baseline schedule. Our technicians will document the recommended interval for your specific use case during the inspection. Bring your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK to Larry H.
