Changing Oil on a Jeep Compass

Model: Jeep Compass MK 1, MK 49 - Years 2006-2016
Part: Engine oil

Changing the engine oil on a Jeep Compass? Here’s how to do it. Lift the car on a column lift or jack, unscrew the oil sump bolt with a socket wrench (remove the plastic protective panel if necessary), let the fluid drain into a disposal container, and re-screw the sump bolt. After draining the oil from the engine, lower the car and open the bonnet, securing it. Refill the engine with new oil. Measure the oil level multiple times with the metal dipstick until it reaches the ideal level. Close the bonnet at the end of maintenance.
