Jeep Cherokee Oil Change Reset Procedure 2018-2019
2018 Cherokee:
The Cherokee is too unrefined to be a contender among small SUVs. The
best version is the 3.2-liter V6 engine in the Limited trim. The
2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine is slow, and its 22 mpg overall is lousy
for the class. The nine-speed automatic is not very responsive or
refined. Handling is competent but short on agility, and the ride is
jittery. The rear seat is roomy, and controls are intuitive with the
8.4-inch Uconnect system. Limited trims can be fitted with high-end
amenities. The Trailhawk is capable off-road, and the V6's 4,500-pound
towing capacity is impressive. Recent updates include the integration of
blind-spot warning in higher trims. A freshened 2019 Jeep Cherokee,
with a new 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine and front-end
styling updates is on sale.
2019 Cherokee:
Jeep has freshened its compact Cherokee SUV, replacing the controversial
headlights, tweaking the exterior, and adding a turbocharged
four-cylinder engine. The base 2.4-liter four-cylinder is slow and
returns lousy fuel economy for the class. The 3.2-liter V6 is more
appealing. Now, there is a third option, a 270-hp, 2.0-liter
turbocharged four-cylinder engine. When we originally tested the
Cherokee we found the handling competent but short on agility, and the
ride jittery. The rear seat is roomy, and controls are intuitive with
the Uconnect system. Limited trims can be fitted with high-end
amenities. The Trailhawk is features some off-road motifs mostly for
looks. Available safety systems require buyers invest in an option
package or step up a couple trim levels.
Oil Change Reset — If Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. The “Oil Change Required” message will display in the instrument cluster display for five seconds after a single chime has sounded to indicate the nextscheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change indi- cator system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate, dependent upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each time you place the ignition in the ON/RUN position. To turn off the message temporarily, push and release the OK button. To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the scheduled maintenance), refer to the fol- lowing procedure.
