How many quarts does a 2014 Dodge Journey take?

The 2014 Dodge Journey uses different engine oil capacities depending on the heart of the vehicle: about 4 quarts for the 2.4L inline‑4 and about 6 quarts for the 3.6L V6 (both figures assume a new oil filter is installed).


In 2014, the Journey was offered with two engines: a 2.4-liter Tigershark inline-four and a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. Oil capacity varies by engine; always use the oil specification in the owner's manual (typically 5W‑20) and replace the filter during an oil change. The sections below summarize capacities and practical notes.


Engine options and oil capacity


Before listing the capacities, note that the total oil you need depends on which engine is installed and whether you’re changing the filter.



  • 2.4L inline-four (Tigershark): approximately 4.0 quarts of engine oil with filter.

  • 3.6L V6 (Pentastar): approximately 6.0 quarts of engine oil with filter.


When performing the oil change, plan to use the full amount with a new filter and verify the level on the dipstick after refilling to ensure the correct oil level.


Oil type and service notes


Before listing the specifics, it helps to know the recommended oil type and how capacities are presented.



  • Recommended viscosity: 5W-20 for both engines (as specified by Chrysler/Jeep for 2014 models).

  • Oil capacity values include the filter; without the filter, the capacity is slightly less (roughly 0.5 quart less).


Always confirm exact specifications for your VIN in the owner's manual or with a dealer, as regional updates or changes in production could affect the exact figures.


Summary


In brief, the 2014 Dodge Journey takes about 4 quarts of engine oil with filter for the 2.4L engine, and about 6 quarts with filter for the 3.6L engine. Use 5W-20 oil and replace the filter at every oil change, then recheck the level to ensure proper fill.
