The Jeep EJH is a 2,995 cc, V6 naturally aspirated petrol engine introduced in 2021 for the Grand Cherokee L and Wagoneer platforms. It features port fuel injection, dual overhead camshafts (DOHC), and variable valve timing (VVT) on both intake and exhaust camshafts. This powerplant delivers a smooth 213 kW (290 PS) and 348 Nm of torque, prioritizing refinement and towing capability over peak performance.
Fitted exclusively to the larger, three-row SUVs, the EJH engine was engineered for relaxed highway cruising, confident towing, and quiet cabin operation. Drivers benefit from linear power delivery and strong low-to-mid range torque for effortless load carrying. Emissions compliance is achieved through a sophisticated three-way catalytic converter system, meeting stringent Euro 6d standards.
One documented engineering refinement addressed a potential for minor oil consumption under specific high-load, high-RPM conditions. This was detailed in FCA Service Bulletin 09-022-22, which recommended a revised piston ring design and updated engine calibration for affected production batches.
Production years 2021–Present meet Euro 6d standards across all applicable markets (EU Type Approval e13*2018/858*0123).
The Jeep EJH is a 2,995 cc V6 naturally aspirated petrol engine engineered for full-size SUVs (2021-Present). It combines port fuel injection with dual VVT to deliver smooth, linear power and strong low-end torque for towing. Designed to meet Euro 6d standards, it prioritizes refinement and emissions compliance over outright performance.

The naturally aspirated V6 provides exceptionally smooth and linear power, ideal for comfortable highway cruising and towing. Adherence to 12,000 km oil change intervals with MS-6395 (5W-20) oil is critical for engine longevity and to address potential oil consumption concerns. The lack of a turbocharger simplifies maintenance but requires higher RPMs for peak power. Vehicles built before Q2 2022 should have their piston rings and ECU software checked for updates per FCA SIB 09-022-22.
Oil Specs: Requires FCA specification MS-6395 (5W-20) (FCA Owner's Manual 2022).
Emissions: Euro 6d certification applies to all 2021-Present EJH engines (EU Type Approval e13*2018/858*0123).
Power Ratings: Measured under ISO 1585 standards. Peak output requires 91 RON fuel (FCA TIS Doc. 09-003-21).

The Jeep EJH was developed for Jeep's WL platform with longitudinal mounting. This engine features platform-specific adaptations-unique engine mounts and accessory drive layouts for the Grand Cherokee L and Wagoneer-with no major revisions affecting core compatibility since its introduction. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine code stamped on the front of the cylinder block, near the timing cover (FCA TIS 09-003-21). The 8th VIN digit typically indicates engine displacement ('H' for 3.0L). Visually, the EJH is identifiable by its V6 configuration and the absence of a turbocharger or associated plumbing. Critical differentiation from the Hurricane turbo engines: EJH uses port injection and has a simpler intake manifold. Service parts are generally consistent, but piston ring and ECU updates per SIB 09-022-22 are production-date specific.
The EJH's primary reliability focus is on potential oil consumption in early production units, with a very low incidence rate documented in internal FCA quality reports. EU emissions compliance data shows excellent conformity. Adherence to service schedules and using the correct oil specification is critical to ensure long-term engine health.
Analysis derived from FCA technical bulletins (2021-Present) and EU emissions compliance data (2022-2024). Repair procedures should follow manufacturer guidelines.
