2015 Dodge Journey fuel economy (EPA)

The EPA rates the 2015 Dodge Journey at 19–21 MPG combined; the 2.4L 4-cylinder (FWD) is the most efficient and the 3.6L 6-cylinder (FWD) the thirstiest. Every EPA test configuration is below, from the government's fuel-economy database.

City, highway and combined figures are in MPG (MPGe on electricity).

Version	Engine	Transmission · drive	City	Hwy	Comb.	Fuel / yr	CO₂ g/mi
Journey FWD	2.4L 4-cylinder	4-speed automatic · FWD	19MPG	25MPG	21MPG	$2,950	420
Journey FWD	3.6L 6-cylinderFFV	6-speed automatic · FWD	17MPG	25MPG	19MPG	$3,300	457
Journey AWD	3.6L 6-cylinder	6-speed automatic · AWD	16MPG	24MPG	19MPG	$3,300	470

Source: U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, fueleconomy.gov. MPG is miles per gallon (MPGe for electric operation). Plug-in hybrids list gasoline-only MPG with the electric rating underneath. Annual fuel cost assumes 15,000 miles a year at the EPA's fuel-price assumptions, so yours will differ. Range is total driving range on a full tank or charge.

2015 Dodge Journey wheels & tires

Factory tire and wheel sizes, spare and the pressure to run, from the spec sheet and owner's manual.

Fits	Tire	Wheel	Type
AVP and SEStandard	P225/65R17Kumho Solus KH16	17 × 6.5 in, steel with wheel covers	all-season touring

Crossroad, Limited and R/TStandard	225/55R19Kumho Solus KH16	19 × 7.0 in, cast aluminum	all-season touring

Cold tire pressure: Not a single number: the owner's manual refers to the tire and loading placard (driver's side B-pillar or rear edge of the driver's door), which lists the pressures for your exact tire size and load.
Spare: Compact temporary spare; size T145/70 R17; Temporary spare tire and steel wheel are standard on every model per the sheet.
Lug nut torque: 100 ft-lb (135 N·m), M12 x 1.25 thread, 19 mm socket
Pressure monitor: A tire pressure monitoring system warns when a tire is low.

Sizes and pressures vary by trim, wheel package and load: check the placard on your vehicle and the tire sidewall. Sizes from the manufacturer's specification sheet (2015 Dodge Journey Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.

2015 Dodge Journey maintenance schedule

The factory schedule for normal driving. Oil changes follow the oil-change indicator on most models; severe use (towing, dusty roads, lots of idling) shortens some intervals.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims for Passenger Cars."

Risk: With inaccurate information on the tire placard, the operator may overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will install a correct tire placard label, free of charge. The recall began April 8, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P70.

Salt, snow and hills: the data

The 2015 Dodge Journey against salt, snow and steep grades

We read the 2015 Journey owner data, service schedule and spec sheets with Kentucky driving in mind: frozen starts, salted highways, cratered streets and hills. These are the figures worth acting on.

Sidewall height versus broken pavement

Squalls off Lake Michigan and Lake Erie can drop snow faster than plows keep up, and then tire compound matters more than anything else on the vehicle. Starting from the factory P225/65R17 size, a true winter tire on 17-inch wheels grips packed snow far better than an all-season and leaves sidewall for the potholes the next thaw brings.

The oil grade on a January morning

The 2015 Dodge Journey fluids table lists SAE 5W-20, with 4.5 qt (2.4L) and 6 qt (3.6L) per change. Lake-effect winters are full of short, cold trips: to work, to school, to the store and home again before the engine reaches temperature. That pattern is tough on oil, so let the oil-change indicator set the interval and never stretch it.

Battery checks before the cold

The spec sheet lists 525 cold-cranking amps. A Journey left at a lake cottage or in a pole barn for weeks slowly drains its battery, and a cold snap then finds it with nothing to spare. A plug-in maintainer for stored vehicles is cheap insurance in the Great Lakes states.

Which wheels do the pulling

Factory drive configurations for 2015: front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The same trim name can come with more than one drive system, so on a used Journey confirm it from the window sticker or a VIN decode rather than the badge. In west Michigan, where lake-effect bands can pile up several inches of snow in an hour, driving both axles is what gets a loaded vehicle up an icy driveway.

Tank size for hill country

The 2015 Dodge Journey holds 20.5 to 21 gallons of fuel. Once you leave the interstate in West Virginia or eastern Kentucky, mountain routes can run a long way between stations, and the climbs burn more fuel than flat miles do. Fill up before heading into the hills.

Gravel hollow roads and the air filter

The schedule asks for more frequent air-filter attention in dusty conditions, beyond the normal replacement every 30,000 miles. Gravel roads up Appalachian hollows and coal-haul routes in West Virginia and eastern Kentucky qualify, so inspect the filter at each oil change if they are part of your week.

Octane from the owner data

The owner data specifies 87 octane. A higher grade than the manual asks for adds cost without benefit, while a lower one than required makes the engine pull back ignition timing, which shows most under load on a long Appalachian climb.

Data behind these notes: owner's manual capacities, the Mopar service schedule and factory spec sheets. Regional advice is general, written for drivers from Kentucky to Tennessee.

2015 Dodge Journey questions

How much oil does the 2015 Dodge Journey take?

With a filter change: 2.4L engine (SAE 5W-20, API certified), 4.5 qt / 4.26 L and 3.6L engine (SAE 5W-20, API certified), 6 qt / 5.6 L. Capacities are from the owner's manual; check the dipstick or oil-life display after filling.

What kind of oil does the 2015 Dodge Journey use?

Engine oil: SAE 5W-20, API certified (MS-6395) and Engine oil filter: Mopar engine oil filter.

When is the first scheduled maintenance on the 2015 Dodge Journey?

At 20,000 miles or 2 years: inspect front suspension, tie rod ends, and replace if necessary; inspect the brake linings, parking brake function; replace air conditioning filter. Oil changes in between follow the oil-change indicator.

Where can I find the 2015 Dodge Journey owner's manual?

The manufacturer publishes it free on Mopar.com as a PDF (linked in the manuals section above), along with quick guides, radio manuals and the warranty booklet.

What MPG does the 2015 Dodge Journey get?

The EPA rates the 2015 Dodge Journey at 19–21 MPG combined, depending on the version. 2.4L 4-cylinder, 4-speed automatic, FWD: 19 city / 25 highway / 21 combined; 3.6L 6-cylinder, 6-speed automatic, FWD: 17 city / 25 highway / 19 combined; 3.6L 6-cylinder, 6-speed automatic, AWD: 16 city / 24 highway / 19 combined. Ratings are the EPA's laboratory figures from fueleconomy.gov; real-world mileage varies with driving, load and weather.

What size tires does the 2015 Dodge Journey use?

Factory tire sizes: P225/65R17 (AVP and SE, SXT); 225/55R19 (Crossroad, Limited and R/T). The recommended cold inflation pressure for your exact tires is on the tire placard (driver's side B-pillar or rear edge of the driver's door), not in a single table.

Does the 2015 Dodge Journey have recalls?

NHTSA lists 6 safety recall campaigns for the 2015 Dodge Journey. The most recent: Electrical system: wiring (May 2018), Air bags: frontal (July 2017), and Steering: hydraulic power assist (May 2016). NHTSA's data was last fetched November 8, 2026. Recalls are listed by model year, so a given vehicle may or may not be covered: enter its VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or ask a dealer to see which are open.

What are the most common safety complaints about the 2015 Dodge Journey?

Owners have filed 554 complaints about the 2015 Dodge Journey with NHTSA. The components named most often are engine (135), electrical system (118), and service brakes (105). 30 complaints involved a crash and 9 complaints a fire. Complaints are reports from owners that NHTSA does not verify, so treat them as a signal to look into, not a finding.

Specifications come from the manufacturer's spec comparison and its media-site specification sheets; maintenance schedules, fluids and publications come from Mopar's owner site and owner's manuals. Equipment and ratings vary by configuration; check the owner's manual or a dealer for a specific vehicle. This model is no longer sold new.
