2015 Jeep Wrangler fuel economy (EPA)

The EPA rates the 2015 Jeep Wrangler at 18 MPG combined. 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 B-pillar or rear edge of the driver's door), which lists the pressures for your exact tire size and load.
Spare
The sheet lists no spare; the manual describes a compact spare, a full-size spare and a tire service kit, depending on equipment, and says spares are for temporary emergency use.
Lug nut torque
100 ft-lb (135 N·m), 1/2" x 20 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 Jeep Wrangler Specifications, 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.

2015 Jeep Wrangler 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.

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

2015 Jeep Wrangler recalls & safety

What the U.S. government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has on file for the 2015 Jeep Wrangler: 3 recall campaigns and 481 owner complaints. Fetched November 8, 2026.

NHTSA hasn't published 5-Star Safety Ratings for the 2015 Jeep Wrangler.

Recalls (3)

Newest first. A campaign covers certain vehicles of this model year, not necessarily every one. To see which apply to a specific vehicle, and whether the fix has been done, enter its VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or ask a dealer; repairs are free of charge.

Seat belts: front: anchorageSeptember 26, 2019 · Campaign 19V680000

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2011-2018 Jeep Wrangler right hand drive vehicles. The driver's seat belt buckle mounting strap may fracture and separate from the seat frame.

Risk: A separated or severed seat belt buckle strap will result in an inoperable seat belt, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Fix: FCA US will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's seat belt buckle, free of charge. Interim notices informing owners of the safety risk were mailed November 19, 2019. Owners will received a second letter and the recall began March 26, 2020. Owners may contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403.

Campaign 19V680000 on NHTSA.gov
Air bags: frontal: passenger side: inflator moduleJanuary 15, 2019 · Campaign 19V018000Do not drive

Read for lake-effect country

Reading the 2015 Wrangler data for Great Lakes roads

From the Snowbelt east of Cleveland to the ridges of West Virginia and east Tennessee, this part of the country throws salt, snow and grade at every vehicle. Here is how the 2015 Jeep Wrangler specifications line up against all three.

Wheels, tires and freeze-thaw roads

The smallest 2015 factory size is P225/75R16, the largest P255/70R18. Each thaw in Michigan and Ohio opens new potholes, and a tall sidewall survives them best: the 16-inch fitment flexes over a sharp edge where a low-profile tire can pinch or bend its wheel. After a hard hit, look for a sidewall bubble.

Oil for a frozen-driveway start

Factory oil: SAE 5W-20, 6 qt per change with a filter. A Grand Rapids or Toledo January can leave an engine at single digits overnight, and at start-up the oil has to reach the top of the engine fast. The 5W part of the grade is its cold-flow rating, so keep it rather than going thicker for winter. Short trips that never fully warm the engine let moisture collect in the oil; a longer drive clears it.

Cranking power for a lake-effect morning

Rated battery output: 600 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 160-amp alternator.

Traction for snowbelt hills and hollows

This model year offers four-wheel drive. In West Virginia, the payoff comes in the first hour of a storm, before plows reach side streets, and on boat ramps slick with algae where a two-wheel-drive tow vehicle can spin. Keep the system's limits in mind on ice: driven wheels add grip for going, not for stopping or turning.

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.

Cold mornings and the tire-pressure light

Air pressure falls about 1 psi with each 10°F drop, so the swing from a gray, mild lake-effect afternoon to a clear, frigid morning can trip the warning light overnight. Set pressures cold, to the door-jamb placard. An underinflated tire is also easier to damage in a pothole, because the rim sits closer to the edge it hits. The schedule asks you to check pressures and look for unusual wear or damage.

Coolant through freeze and climb

Fluids table: OAT coolant (10-year/150,000-mile formula), 10.5 qt. Scheduled replacement comes at 10 years or 150,000 miles. Stick to that chemistry, since mixing coolant types can shorten their protective life. On a used Wrangler from West Virginia, ask whether the coolant was changed on time, and check the level in the overflow tank with the engine cold before you drive it.

When the schedule shortens oil changes

The schedule's severe-service oil interval is 4,000 miles, and heavy idling is one of the conditions behind it. Winter commuting in Detroit or Columbus traffic, with stop-and-go crawling and engines idled to clear snow, is exactly the use that brings the shorter figure into play.
