Jeep 2L Four Cylinder Turbo

[BigJohn]

Just took delivery on a 2025 Jeep 2L turbo, 4 cylinder. When purchasing a brand new vehicle, I always dump the oil before 500 miles to get rid of all the break-in metals. Factory recommends 5w30.

Wonder if this is a good oil for the turbo....

Congratulations on the new ride!

You'd be hard pressed to do better on the oil.

What color is the new Jeep?

What's this 2.0 FCA global engine recommended oil in Europe? 5W30 euro or a 0W40?

 

[facility1]

most any name brand 5w-30 would work fine, 5w-30 PUP is a good choice and is easy to find at Walmart. why a euro oil?,,use decent oci and good filter also.

ROW Jeep 2.0l. manuals say :

"We recommend using Mopar® API SP/GF-6A Certified SAE 5W-30 Full Synthetic Engine Oil which meets the requirements of the
manufacturer Material Standard MS-13340. Equivalent full synthetic SAE 5W-30 API SP engine oil can be used but must have the
API Donut trademark "

etc . (this in oqner's manuals for ME, South America, India markets etc. y.2024/2025) .


With 1700---1900ppm Ca "Euro L" 5w-30 API SN is not the proper one (while good for the turbo...) .

Do you have this in stock locally most people can not find it it’s all disappeared.

If you want to use Pennzoil Use regular pennzoil platinum. it has the jeep spec ms-13340 That the 2L hurricane engine recommended.. at least on my 2019 jeep.
you dont specify which jeep so its hard to pull an owners manual.
-wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Compass all come with a 2L.



Euro L is not the right oil for that engine.

You'd be hard pressed to do better on the oil.

I suggest avoiding a Euro oil, as it is not formulated to help prevent LSPI (low speed pre ignition). Instead I suggest Mobil 1, 5W-30EP. It is a great oil for turbocharged engines, and handles heat exceptionally well and absolutely will not coke up (carbon deposits) the turbocharger. It also is among the very best when it comes to keeping engines clean. Including piston oil ring drain holes.

I use it (with great results) in my supercharged and tuned Jag, along with my 5.0 F150.

It is a very capable oil and will not shear or oxidize in your turbocharged 4 cylinder. In fact, I'm finding that it has a clear redish tint when I drain it. Very few oils remain clear in my Jag.

I bring up the coking on the turbo because these engines are known for being hard on turbos.

Remember the old, green Castrol that smelled like liquorish? Back in the day, when I had a VW Passat with the 2.0 Turbo, that's all I ever poured in it.

I departed the Mobil 1 crowd about 15 years ago, except for 15w50 in my BMW bikes. I know it is a very good oil, just felt others were better and in several of my applications, Mobil 1 was consumed faster than any other oil I tried.. But you make a great point about the the piston cooling jets in this specific engine, along with it being an open deck design.

Could be this engine causes me to go back to Mobil 1.

Finally, there was a good bit of distrust in this engine when it debuted in 2016, but nearly ten years of real world testing has shown it to be very capable and very reliable. The fact that it is a low pressure engine block and two-stage oil pump partially accounts for its great performance.

I did a lot of research on this engine before I purchased, as I was originally hard-set on the naturally aspirated V6. I spend nearly all my driving time above mile-high and forced induction is my huckleberry to avoid elevation sickness.

By invitation, the wife got involved in the selection. She requested three things.... Only colors allowed would be Gray, Silver or White. She also demanded we spend more than I wanted and purchase a Rubicon with heated, leather seats. I wanted a color-coded roof, as the black one transmits way too much heat to the cabin.

Here's my ride........

I thought the entire point of ILSACGF6 SP was LSPI?

Of course it is.
It has a higher level of ZDDP, which serves as an LSPI suppressor.
The LSPI issue is generally confined to ILSAC oils and engines recommended for use with that oil.

This is good oil, albeit a bit older formula. It has very high HTHS even for non-energy conserving Euro 5W30.

I would, though, go Mobil1 ESP 0W30. It has MB229.52 approval and VW504.00/507.00.

Yeah. The ESP 5W-30 makes mention of SP and SN+ … Mobil would know a thing or two on the subject …

What did you link? that isnt esp 0w30 is it 5w30?

 

[MalibuRam65]

M1 ESP 0w30 maybe the way to go

What did you link? that isnt esp 0w30 is it 5w30?

5W-30 ESP … what I use down south …
