What is the 2012 Jeep Liberty oil type?

My mechanic raised his prices and I can’t afford to pay for basic car maintenance anymore. I need to change my car’s oil myself, so which type of oil should I buy?

Car maintenance can be expensive! The 2012
Jeep Liberty
oil type is Mobil 1 - Extended Performance Full Synthetic Motor Oil 5W-20 and you’ll want to get the 5-quart jug.
Since this will be your first time changing the oil yourself, here are some tips to get you started:
  • Double check the manufacturer guidelines
  • Check the oil weight of your car’s engine
  • Wear protective gear like rubber gloves
  • Make sure your car’s engine is cool before starting
  • Use the right drain pan
  • Seal the filter correctly
  • Dispose of old oil properly and responsibly
Handling your own maintenance can definitely help reduce expenses. Another great way to save money is reviewing your car insurance to make sure you’re not overpaying. Thanks to
