Engine Oil Filter; Engine Air Cleaner Filter - Jeep WRANGLER 2023 Owner's Manual

ENGINE OIL FILTER

The engine oil filter should be replaced with a new filter
at every engine oil change.
Engine Oil Filter Selection
A full-flow type disposable oil filter should be used for
replacement. The quality of replacement filters varies
considerably. We recommend using a Mopar® Engine
Oil Filter. If a Mopar® Engine Oil Filter is unavailable
only use filters that meet or exceed SAE/USCAR-36 Fil-
ter Performance Requirements.

ENGINE AIR CLEANER FILTER

For the proper maintenance intervals
gasoline engines or page 299 for diesel engines.
NOTE:
Be sure to follow the "Severe Duty Conditions" mainte-
nance interval if applicable.
WARNING!
The air induction system (air cleaner, hoses, etc.) can
provide a measure of protection in the case of engine
backfire. Do not remove the air induction system (air
cleaner, hoses, etc.) unless such removal is neces-
sary for repair or maintenance. Make sure that no
one is near the engine compartment before starting
the vehicle with the air induction system (air cleaner,
hoses, etc.) removed. Failure to do so can result in
serious personal injury.
Engine Air Cleaner Filter Selection
The quality of replacement engine air cleaner filters
varies considerably. Only high quality Mopar® filters
