I believe the recommended oil type was changed last year, I want to say it is 5w-30 synthetic but just research well on google. Sorry for the ambiguity. I just get the mopar filters on amazon.
Oil and oil filter recommendations
What do people recommend for oil and oil filter for a 2014 ecodiesel?

Hi.
They have crank bearing issues so Jeep changed the oil spec. The new spec calls for a heavy duty diesel engine oil. E9 is the euro spec and i think CK4 is the US spec. They also went from 5w30 to 5w40.
Shell Rottella T6 5w40 is excellent.

Used Rotella T6. Thanks all!
Been using the same filter since we bought ours. Here is the product Oil Filter - 5281090AB | JeepsAreUs | Jeeps Are Us. It's just a mopar basic filter that last longer compared to when we tried a cheaper brand.
Hi TonyI use Valvoline Advanced Full Synthetic SAE 5W-30 engine oil, which protects against high temperatures and engine overheating, which is what I need, and I also drive quite long distances. You need to choose the oil depending on your needs and driving style.
Which engine are you using the 5w-30? If it is the Ecodiesel then it is incorrect. You need a 5w-40.
