2022 Jeep Gladiator fuel economy (EPA)

The EPA rates the 2022 Jeep Gladiator at 19–24 MPG combined; the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo (4WD) is the most efficient and the 3.6L 6-cylinder (4WD) 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).

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.

Cold tire pressure
Not a single number: the owner's manual refers to the tire and loading placard (driver's side door opening), which lists the pressures for your exact tire size and load.
Spare
The manual covers a matching full-size spare (with its own pressure sensor), a compact spare and a tire service kit, depending on equipment.
Lug nut torque
130 ft-lb (176 N·m), M14 x 1.50 mm thread, 22 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 (2022 Jeep Gladiator Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.

2022 Jeep Gladiator 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.

Schedule

A dot means the service is due at that mileage or after that many years, whichever comes first.

Additional Inspections

  • Inspect the CV/Universal joints
  • Inspect front suspension, rear suspension, tie rod ends, and replace if necessary
  • Inspect the front and rear axle fluid
  • Inspect the brake linings, replace as necessary
  • Adjust parking brake on vehicles equipped with four wheel disc brakes

Additional Maintenance

  • Replace cabin air filter

Replace cabin air filter
Replace spark plugs – 3.6L engineThe spark plug change interval is mileage based only, yearly intervals do not apply.
Flush and replace the engine coolant at 10 years or 150,000 miles (240,000 km), whichever comes first
Change the manual transmission fluid if using your vehicle for any of the following: trailer towing, snow plowing, heavy loading, taxi, police, delivery service (commercial service), off-road, desert operation or more than 50% of your driving is at sustained high speeds during hot weather, above 90°F (32°C)
Change transfer case fluid if using your vehicle for any of the following: police, taxi, fleet, or frequent trailer towing
Inspect and replace PCV valve if necessary
Change front and rear axle fluid if using your vehicle for police, taxi, fleet, off-road or frequent trailer towing

At every oil change

  • Change oil and filter
  • Rotate the tires at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before the oil indicator system turns on
  • Inspect battery and clean and tighten terminals as required
  • Inspect the CV/Universal joints
  • Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, hoses and parking brake
  • Inspect engine cooling system protection and hoses
  • Inspect exhaust system
  • Inspect engine air cleaner filter if using in dusty or off-road conditions, replace engine air cleaner filter if necessary
  • Inspect all door latches for presence of grease, reapply if necessary

2022 Jeep Gladiator owner's manuals & publications

The manufacturer's owner's manual, quick guides, radio manuals, supplements and warranty booklets for the 2022 model year.

Great Lakes owner notes

What counts on a 2022 Jeep Gladiator from Michigan to Tennessee

We read the 2022 Gladiator owner data, service schedule and spec sheets with Michigan 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 245/75R17 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.

Oil for a frozen-driveway start

The fluids table calls for SAE 0W-20 (3.6L gasoline) and SAE 5W-40 (3.0L diesel) at 5 qt (3.6L gasoline) and 9 qt (3.0L diesel), with synthetic oil in the specification. Synthetic stock copes with both ends of this region's weather, from a subzero start in the Upper Peninsula to a loaded summer climb in the Smokies. Match the exact specification on the filler cap, not just the viscosity.

Cranking power for a lake-effect morning

Rated battery output: 650 to 700 cold-cranking amps, measured at 0°F. A single-digit night in Traverse City or Fort Wayne cuts what the battery can deliver just as the stiff engine asks more of the starter. Past three winters, an October load test tells you more than the date sticker. Charging comes from a 180- to 240-amp alternator.

Drive systems for lake-effect snow

The 2022 lineup includes four-wheel drive. Power at both axles pays off when a band off Lake Erie buries the Snowbelt east of Cleveland, or on a steep, unplowed road out of a hollow in eastern Kentucky. It gets you moving; stopping on ice is still up to the tires.

Snow plowing is a listed condition

Snow plowing is named in this schedule as one of the uses that calls for earlier fluid service. Keeping a long driveway or a cottage lane open through a west Michigan winter is precisely the kind of work that line describes, so log plowing hours alongside towing.

Antifreeze for both ends of the year

The system holds 13 qt (3.6L gasoline) and 14.5 qt (3.0L diesel) of OAT coolant (10-year/150,000-mile formula). Stellantis manuals call for a 50/50 mix, good to about -34°F (-37°C), which is colder than a typical Great Lakes winter night; the real risk is dilution from top-ups with plain water. The same mix raises the boiling point for a loaded summer climb through the Tennessee mountains. A cheap tester checks the strength each fall.

Diesel through a Great Lakes winter

Cold-fuel guidance in the owner data: no. 1 ULSD only for extended arctic cold. Paraffin in summer-grade diesel clouds as it chills and can plug the fuel filter, and a Great Lakes January gets cold enough for that. High-volume truck stops turn over fuel quickly, so buying there in winter improves the odds of a properly winterized blend. The DEF tank holds 5.1 gal.

Tank size for hill country

The 2022 Jeep Gladiator holds 19 to 22 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.

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

2022 Jeep Gladiator questions

How much oil does the 2022 Jeep Gladiator take?

With a filter change: 3.6L gasoline engine, 5.0 qt / 4.7 L and 3.0L diesel engine, 9.0 qt / 8.5 L. Capacities are from the owner's manual; check the dipstick or oil-life display after filling.

When is the first scheduled maintenance on the 2022 Jeep Gladiator?
