2016 Jeep Renegade Oil Filter | Part Number & Specs

The 2016 Jeep Renegade 2.4L uses Mopar 4892339BE oil filter while the 1.4L Turbo uses Mopar 68102241AA.

Picking the right oil filter for the 2016 Jeep Renegade is critical for maintaining oil pressure. The two engines — 2.4L naturally aspirated four-cylinder and 1.4L turbocharged four-cylinder — take different, non-interchangeable filters. The 2.4L filter uses an M22-1.50 thread with a 3-inch profile; the 1.4L Turbo has a different thread diameter. The vehicle takes 5.5 quarts of 0W-20 full synthetic oil. Using the correct filter keeps the oil system sealed and pressurized as designed.

Which Oil Filter Does a 2016 Jeep Renegade Use?

The 2.4L engine takes Mopar part number 4892339BE, also listed as EA15K50 or 04892339AA. This filter has an M22-1.50 thread, stands about 3 inches tall, and fits Renegade models from 2015 through 2021 with the 2.4L four-cylinder. It’s available through Mopar’s genuine parts catalog and most auto parts retailers. Thread compatibility is critical — forcing a filter with the wrong thread will damage the housing.

The 1.4L turbocharged engine uses Mopar 68102241AA, with a different thread pattern that cannot be swapped with the 2.4L filter. The wrong filter can strip threads or fail to seal, causing oil leaks under pressure.

For brand comparisons, our roundup of the best oil filter options for this model covers verified fitments for both engines side by side. Stick with an OEM-spec part or direct equivalent matching thread, gasket diameter, and flow characteristics.

Oil Capacity and Recommended Type

The 2016 Jeep Renegade holds 5.5 quarts of 0W-20 full synthetic oil meeting FCA Material Standard MS-6395. Both engines share this capacity and specification. Manufacturer recommends an oil change interval of 7,500 to 10,000 miles under normal conditions with 0W-20 full synthetic meeting MS-6395.

0W-20 full synthetic provides proper viscosity across all temperatures and supports the variable valve timing system and fuel economy targets. Using conventional oil or other viscosity violates MS-6395 spec and shortens the interval to 3,000–5,000 miles. Torque the drain plug to 15 ft/lbs when reinstalling.

How to Change the Oil Filter on a 2016 Jeep Renegade

Start on a level surface with the parking brake set. Use jack stands if needed — never get under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Wear eye protection. Drain the oil first by removing the drain plug. Torque the plug to 15 ft/lbs when reinstalling. Remove the old oil filter using a filter wrench if needed; it’s accessible from underneath on both engines.

Before installing the new filter, apply a thin layer of fresh 0W-20 oil to the rubber gasket to lubricate the seal. Pre-fill the new filter with clean 0W-20 oil to reduce time the engine runs without oil pressure at startup. Screw the filter on by hand until it bottoms out, then tighten another half turn by hand. Do not use a wrench — over-tightening crushes the gasket, causes leaks, and makes removal difficult.

Add the remaining 5.5 quarts of 0W-20 oil (the pre-fill counts toward this total). Run the engine for about a minute to circulate oil, shut it off, wait 30 seconds, and check the dipstick. Top off if needed. Reset the oil change reminder light through the settings menu. Common mistakes: using the wrong filter for your engine, over-tightening, filling with wrong volume, or using conventional oil.

FAQs

Can I use an aftermarket oil filter on my 2016 Jeep Renegade?

Yes, as long as it matches the thread size, gasket diameter, and flow rate of the OEM filter for your engine type. For the 2.4L that means M22-1.50 thread and 3-inch height. For the 1.4L Turbo, confirm the thread pattern as it differs.

What happens if I use the wrong oil filter?

The wrong filter may not thread on correctly or may fail to seal, causing oil leaks and a drop in oil pressure. The 2.4L and 1.4L Turbo filters have different thread sizes and are not mechanically compatible. Always verify the part number against your vehicle’s engine.

How often should I change the oil filter?

Every oil change. With 0W-20 full synthetic and the recommended 7,500- to 10,000-mile interval, that means a new filter every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. If using conventional oil or driving in severe conditions, change both more often.
