JEEP EJH engine (2021–Present) – Specs, Problems & Compatibility Database

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.

Practical Implications

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.

Data Verification Notes

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).

EJH Compatible Models

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.

Identification Guidance

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.

Identification Details

Evidence:

FCA TIS Doc. 09-003-21

Location:

Stamped on the front of the cylinder block, near the timing cover (FCA TIS 09-003-21).

Visual Cues:

  • V6 engine layout.
  • No visible turbocharger or intercooler plumbing.
  • Intake manifold with individual runners for each cylinder (port injection).
Piston Ring & Software Update

Issue:

Early production EJH engines may exhibit higher-than-specified oil consumption under sustained high-load, high-RPM operating conditions.

Evidence:

FCA SIB 09-022-22

Recommendation:

Verify engine build date and update piston rings and ECU software as per FCA Service Bulletin 09-022-22 if applicable.

Common Reliability Issues - JEEP EJH

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.

Minor oil consumption (early production)
Symptoms: Need to top up engine oil between scheduled changes, blue-ish exhaust smoke under heavy acceleration (rare).
Cause: Suboptimal piston ring design in early production batches leading to increased oil migration into the combustion chamber under extreme conditions.
Fix: Replace piston rings with the revised design and update ECU software as specified in FCA service bulletin 09-022-22.
Variable valve timing (VVT) solenoid failure
Symptoms: Illumination of the check engine light, potential for rough idle or reduced engine performance, rattling noise from the timing cover area.
Cause: Internal wear or contamination of the electronically controlled VVT solenoid valves, preventing precise control of camshaft timing.
Fix: Replace the faulty VVT solenoid(s) with the latest OEM part. Perform a camshaft adaptation reset using OEM diagnostic equipment.
Exhaust manifold gasket leak
Symptoms: Ticking or tapping noise from the engine bay, especially when cold, potential for exhaust odor inside the cabin, check engine light for lean condition.
Cause: Ageing or thermal cycling of the multi-layer steel (MLS) exhaust manifold gasket, leading to a loss of seal between the cylinder head and manifold.
Fix: Replace the exhaust manifold gasket with the latest OEM part. Ensure manifold bolts are torqued to specification in the correct sequence.
Coolant thermostat failure
Symptoms: Engine takes too long to reach operating temperature, or overheats under load, fluctuating temperature gauge, check engine light for temperature sensor fault.
Cause: Mechanical failure of the wax pellet inside the thermostat, causing it to stick open or closed, preventing proper regulation of engine coolant flow.
Fix: Replace the thermostat assembly with the latest OEM part. Bleed the cooling system thoroughly to remove any air pockets.
