2016 Dodge Journey Oil Change: Specs & Service

Following the mileage interval helps maintain the oil’s ability to carry heat and debris. Oil service is based on mileage and time because the additive package can degrade before the oil looks dirty. Avondale drivers should also pay attention to the oil-change reminder and driving conditions.

• Replace the oil filter every 10,000 miles.
• Change engine oil every 10,000 miles.
• Schedule service when the reminder appears or mileage reaches the interval.

The service begins by draining the used engine oil and refilling it with the grade specified for the engine. A fresh filter helps remove contaminants from the circulating oil. The visit is also logged against the vehicle’s service history.

• Drain and refill the engine oil.
• Install a new oil filter.
• Reset the oil-life monitor and check underhood fluid levels.

Oil loses its additive package and its ability to carry heat and debris over time. A visual check alone is not a substitute for following the manufacturer’s mileage and time schedule. If the engine sounds louder at startup, arranging an inspection is a practical next step.

• Watch for the oil-change reminder light.
• Check whether the dipstick level is low or the oil looks dark.
• Pay attention to ticking or a louder engine note at startup.
