AMSOIL diesel oil guide for trucks, vans, SUVs and diesel engines<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What oil does a 1985 Jeep Wagoneer 2.1L Diesel Turbo take?<\/h2>\n

The 1985 Jeep Wagoneer with the 2.1L 4-cylinder Diesel Turbo engine requires an oil viscosity of 10W-30<\/strong> for temperatures between -23 to 38\u00b0C, or 15W-40<\/strong> for temperatures above -7\u00b0C. The total oil capacity is 6.2 quarts<\/strong> with a filter change. AMSOIL recommends using high-performance synthetic diesel oils like the Signature Series 10W-30<\/a> for maximum protection.<\/p>\n
