PYB 5w-20 & NAPA Pro Select filter Jeep Patriot

[kmrcstintn]

'15 Jeep Patriot fwd (2.4L 4-cylinder engine & 6-speed automatic transmission)...

thinking of using Pennzoil 5w-20 conventional oil & NAPA Pro Select filters (told by local NAPA store that these are NAPA Silver filters in new skin) for DIY oil changes with 3500 - 5000 mile intervals; feedback? thanks!

If you are going to use conventional oil and change every 5K miles I would recommend Mobil Super 5000 5W-20 and a Fram orange can filter.

A 5 quart jug of Mobil Super 5000 and a Fram oil filter will set you back about $18 including tax at Walmart.

PYB will treat your engine well.

Thing is PYB is almost $17 for a 5 quart jug while Mobil Super 5000 is about $13 a jug. For about $1.50 more the OP can get Castrol Magnatec 5W-20 which is a full synthetic.

Mobil Super 5000 is more economical than PYB.

Mobil Super 5000 is a good oil - it will work.

PYB would serve you well but for just a tad more money, you can have a synthetic blend... or even the Castrol full synthetic.

Napa has PP on sale for $5.69, plus a $2 rebate per quart (making it $3.69)

They also have their house brand synthetic for $3.49 (which is rebranded Synpower)

Why buy dino when synthetic is the same price?

I am using that EXACT combo right now in my Jeep Compass, with 2.4 engine.

It runs smooth and quietly. Pour/install with confidence....these little motors like Pennz.

Nothing wrong with what you are doing or the advice given. Plus you are under warranty. But just out of general interest,


I was talking to the local Jeep dealership a few weeks ago about the Jeep Patriot. Sounds like much the same engine and gear box, 2.4L DOHC dual-VVT 16valve with a 6 speed auto.

I'm in Oz, and it sounds like they import the cars and the oils directly from the US. They say to use 5W-40 oil.

Jeep Dealer: "The patriot takes 5W-40, the brand we use is mopar oil"

Just in case anybody is interested in what they say to use in a nonCAFE country.

oops...forgot to mention that I want to use the PYB because it is Chrysler MS-6395 compliant and matches what the dealer is using for their 'freebie' changes (and might possibly be factory fill); thanks...

I am using conventional oil and a similar filter in my 12 Patriot. The filter is Oreilly's Microgard. I like this combo. The Patriot hood and firewall are insulated, but the engine was still a little more noisy with synthetic. The Wix economy filter provides quiet cold starts. I think PYB is a syn blend, and I think you will like it.
