Australian owners. I'm curious as to what grade oil is recommended for your Gladiators.
I've had vehicles in the past where the factory recommendation for oil was very different between the US and outside the US.

Thanks!

Thanks. Reason I asked is in the past I've had vehicles that in the US the manufacturer recommended 5w-20 but outside the US anything from 5w-20 to 15w-40 depending on temps. Just wondered if that kind of thing was true for the Gladiator also.
Thanks again.

In my JKU CRD IIRC it was 5W-20 for the US but being warmer out here I ran 5W-30. Yep so there can be a difference.

Last few years, FCA/Stellantis has kept the same oil grade recommendations outside the North American market the same as the North American market.

I found a Middle East market owners manual for the Gladiator and it had the same 0W-20 grade oil recommendation.
