The oil change indicator sets the timing, and Kelley Blue Book's summary of the schedule puts the outer limit at 10,000 miles or 12 months. ★★★★★ 4.7 stars from 952 Google reviews The modern Wagoneer arrived for the 2022 model year as a full-size, three-row SUV built on a truck frame, with the longer Wagoneer L and the upscale Grand Wagoneer alongside it. The first trucks used a 5.7-liter V8; the twin-turbo 3.0-liter Hurricane six replaced it, and it comes in two outputs that take two different oils. In the Carson Valley, where Douglas County households average 2.25 vehicles (ACS 2020 to 2024), the Wagoneer is often the one that does the winter Tahoe trips. ## At a glance - 5.7L V8: SAE 0W-20 meeting MS-6395, 7 qt with filter - 3.0L Hurricane Standard Output: SAE 0W-20 meeting MS-6395, 7.5 qt - 3.0L Hurricane High Output: SAE 0W-40 meeting MS-A0921, 7.5 qt - Indicator decides; no later than 10,000 miles or 12 months (KBB summary) ## Standard Output or High Output The two Hurricane versions look alike under the cover, but the capacities pages reproduced from the 2024 Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer owner's manual give them different oils: 0W-20 for the Standard Output and 0W-40 for the High Output. Putting the wrong one in is the easy mistake on this truck. We check the oil filler cap, the engine label and the window sticker if you have it, and we do not guess. | Engine | Oil | Quarts with filter | Fuel in the table | |---|---|---|---| | 5.7L V8 | SAE 0W-20, MS-6395 | 7 | 89 recommended, 87 acceptable | | 3.0L Hurricane Standard Output | SAE 0W-20, MS-6395 | 7.5 | 87 | | 3.0L Hurricane High Output | SAE 0W-40, MS-A0921 | 7.5 | 91 or higher | | 6.4L V8 (Grand Wagoneer, early years) | SAE 0W-40 | 7 | 91 or higher | ## Spooner Summit in January US-50 from Carson City climbs to Spooner Summit before dropping to the lake, and a loaded Wagoneer with a roof box makes that climb on a 15 F morning more often than most vehicles. Cold starts in Minden, which averages 188 nights a year at or below freezing on the NOAA 1991 to 2020 normals, are where the thin 0W grades earn their place: the oil reaches the turbochargers and the cam phasers quickly. The oil change indicator on these trucks works from engine operating conditions, so towing, idling while the family loads up and the long grade all count. Expect the message sooner than the outer limit if that is your normal week. ## When it is due Kelley Blue Book's summary of the 2024 Wagoneer L schedule says the synthetic oil and filter change should happen no later than 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, with the indicator calling for it sooner under harder use. We reset the indicator after the change and write the date and mileage on the windshield reminder. If the Wagoneer tows a camper or a boat, read our [towing guide](https://xpressoilandlube.com/guides/towing-and-oil-changes/). A trailer loads the engine for hours, and the indicator responds to that load. ## ZF eight-speed, transfer case and axles The same capacities pages list a ZF eight-speed automatic on Mopar ZF 8 and 9 Speed ATF, about 9 to 9.5 quarts depending on the unit, a BorgWarner one-speed or two-speed transfer case on Mopar's specified fluid, and front and rear axles on synthetic 75W-85 GL-5 gear oil, with a friction-modified version for limited-slip rear axles. We look for seepage at each and quote a [differential service](https://xpressoilandlube.com/services/differential-service/) with the listed oil. Coolant is Mopar's OAT formula rated at 10 years or 150,000 miles, and the 3.0L adds a separate intercooler loop with its own reservoir. We check both levels. ## Our Wagoneer checklist - Engine and output confirmed, the correct grade and the full fill, a new filter - Oil change indicator reset - Engine and cabin air filters shown - Engine coolant and intercooler coolant levels - Transfer case and axle seals checked, plus a battery test at participating locations - Tire pressure on all four, wipers and lights for the night drive home ### Sources - [sklepjeep.redcart.pl/p/25711/2507737/specyfikacja-wagoneer-grand-wagoneer-2024-dane-techni](https://sklepjeep.redcart.pl/p/25711/2507737/specyfikacja-wagoneer-grand-wagoneer-2024-dane-techniczne-wagoneer-grand-wagoneer-jeep.html) (reproduction of the 2024 Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer owner's manual fluids and capacities pages: 3.0L Standard Output 0W-20 MS-6395 7.5 qt; 3.0L High Output 0W-40 MS-A0921 7.5 qt; 5.7L 0W-20 MS-6395 7 qt; 6.4L 0W-40 7 qt; OAT coolant 10 years or 150,000 miles; ZF 8-speed ATF; BorgWarner transfer cases; 75W-85 axles.

Somewhat of a high tienover, new techs do not know full scope of work. Rotating staff some not all equally trained. It's hit or miss.

Call your service center or drive in; there is no appointment to make. ### What oil does a Wagoneer take? It depends on the engine. The 2024 capacities table lists 0W-20 for the 5.7L V8 and the Standard Output 3.0L, and 0W-40 for the High Output 3.0L. ### How much oil does the Hurricane engine hold? About 7.5 quarts with the filter for both outputs, per the 2024 table. ### How often should a Wagoneer get an oil change? Follow the oil change indicator. Kelley Blue Book's summary of the schedule says no later than 10,000 miles or 12 months. ### Will a Wagoneer fit in your bays? Most do. If yours has a roof box or a lift, call the service center first, because we have not published bay clearances yet.
