I bought a black jeep compass limited a couple of months ago and she now needs an oil change. Does anyone know what size oil filter to get? Walmart wasn't any help, the dealership was closed when I drove by, and I can't find any info on the internet. Any help is much appreciated...
I have the CVT with autostick... love that autostick :thumbsup:
25 years, and 260K miles on Mobil 1 with BMW 320I. I'm convinced, but the guy with the GMC, or Chevy truck who changed is oil every 3000 miles, and got over a Million Miles with regular oil, that convinced me too. So not sure what is better, just keep changing that oil.
What schedule are you using? I use the 6k one, never ran any of that in mine yet (only changed the oil once though!) I used Mobil 1 5W-20 Synthetic (Group IV Synthetic) and an AC Delco filter (couldn't find a Mopar one that fit.)
The NAPA filters are available now, 7073, same as WIX 57073. I had the local store get one for me from the warehouse, next day service. Chrysler still uses the recommended oil change s as stated in the maintenance schedules, regardless of what oil you are using.
An interesting thread. I never knew an oil change could be so complicated. I have used the 5000 mile oil change interval on all of my vehicles regardless of brand and engine for the past 45 years. I have never had an engine problem with any of them including those that ended up with over a 100K miles on them when I traded them off. I have always used a good quality oil and oil filter in all my vehicles and I guess that really works.
i change my oil every 3K miles or 3 months, even when my camaro sits over winter. it gets started and possibly driven here and there. so even with a mobil 1 oil change, if it is 3 months later and it has 200 miles on it,
it is getting changed :thumbsup:
changing the oil in my g/f's patriot tonight,
her filter is like a mini wrangler filter :cheers2:
That is strange. Did you check to see if was low before the drain? I only added the oil cooler recently and it could add a cup or too also. It may be best to add 4.5 qts and check it before adding the rest.
