What counts on a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee from Michigan to Tennessee
None of the factory data on this page changes from one region to the next, but what deserves a second look does. Below are the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee lines that matter for an Evansville winter, a spring of broken pavement, a boat on the hitch or a long descent in the hills.
Tire choices for squall and thaw
Big wheels look good, but after a March commute on Detroit or Cleveland streets they are the ones that come home bent. This year's sizes run from P245/70R17 on 17-inch wheels to P295/45R20 on 20-inch wheels; the smaller fitment carries a taller sidewall that absorbs pothole strikes and usually costs less to replace.
What the manual says about oil
Oil capacity is 6 qt (3.6L) and 7 qt (5.7L), and the manual lists SAE 0W-20 (3.6L) and SAE 5W-20 (5.7L). Where more than one engine appears in the lineup, the engine code on the window sticker settles which grade applies. The wrong one in an Indiana winter gives up a little protection on every cold start, and over years of driveway starts that adds up.
Battery checks before the cold
The spec sheet lists 650 to 700 cold-cranking amps. A Grand Cherokee 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.
Drive systems for lake-effect snow
The 2020 lineup includes rear-wheel drive and 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.
Boats, campers and Appalachian grades
Regular towing puts the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee on the schedule's trailer rows: axle fluid service, first at 20,000 miles. A summer of hauling a boat to Lake Cumberland, Norris Lake or a Lake Michigan launch counts. Maximum trailer weight in the towing chart is 7,200 lb, and only one configuration reaches it. The Great Lakes are fresh water, so a trailer's real corrosion threat here is winter road salt, not the ramp.
Antifreeze for both ends of the year
The system holds 10.4 qt (3.6L) and 15.4 to 16 qt (5.7L) 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.
Tank size for hill country
The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee holds 24.6 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.
Capacities, ratings and service intervals: Stellantis data for the 2020 Grand Cherokee. The Great Lakes reading of them is independent and is not factory or dealer advice.
2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee questions
How much oil does the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee take?
With a filter change: 3.6L engine, 6 qt / 5.6 L and 5.7L engine, 7 qt / 6.6 L. Capacities are from the owner's manual; check the dipstick or oil-life display after filling.
What kind of oil does the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee use?
3.6L engine: SAE 0W-20, API certified (MS-6395); 5.7L engine: SAE 5W-20, API certified (MS-6395); and Engine oil filter: Mopar filter or equivalent.
When is the first scheduled maintenance on the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
At 20,000 miles or 2 years: inspect the cv/universal joints; inspect front suspension, tie rod ends, and replace if necessary; inspect the front and rear axle fluid, change if using your vehicle for police, taxi, fleet, off-road or frequent trailer towing; inspect the brake linings, parking brake function; replace the air conditioning filter. Oil changes in between follow the oil-change indicator.
Where can I find the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee 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 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee get?

Ratings are the EPA's laboratory figures from fueleconomy.gov; real-world mileage varies with driving, load and weather.
What size tires does the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee use?
Factory tire sizes: P245/70R17 (Laredo); 265/60R18 (Limited, Laredo, Trailhawk); 265/50R20 (Overland, Limited, Summit); P295/45ZR20 (SRT, Trackhawk). The recommended cold inflation pressure for your exact tires is on the tire placard (driver's side B-pillar or the rear edge of the driver's door), not in a single table.
What changed on the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
Powertrain no longer listed: 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 — Eight-speed automatic; New option package: Premium Lighting Group; Rear Cross Path detection is now standard on Laredo; Rear Cross Path detection is now standard on Limited, Trailhawk and Overland.
Does the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee have recalls?
