In 1984, Jeep released the compact Cherokee to offer buyers a smaller SUV that was a little more fuel efficient than the hulking Wagoneer. Throughout its entire production life — with exception to the 2014 resurrection of the model — the Cherokee’s changes were minor, and in 1992 these updates included an optional sunroof on the Sport trim, an integrated clock on the radio and leather upholstery on the Laredo trims.
Oil Recommendations
-
In temperatures that stay above 0 degrees F, Jeep recommends using 10W-30 engine oil. Jeep also says that you can opt for 5W-30 if the temperature stays below 60 degrees F — Jeep actually recommends this weight of oil in sub-zero temperatures. The 2.5-liter engine requires four quarts of oil to fill it, while the 4.0-liter, inline-six engine requires six quarts to fill it.
