Notes
Always inspect the crankshaft sealing surface and harmonic balancer for grooves or wear before installing the new seal. Follow factory procedures for PTFE-style front main seals and use a proper installer to maintain correct depth and alignment. Some PTFE seals must be installed dry—always follow the service manual instructions to avoid premature leaks.

Yes. JV5283 is the correct front crankshaft (front main) seal for 2014–2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee models equipped with the 3.0L EcoDiesel.

A dedicated front crank seal installer is strongly recommended to maintain correct depth and alignment. Always follow the service manual—many PTFE seals must be installed dry, without pre-lubing the sealing lip.
Common causes include a worn balancer sealing surface, excessive crankshaft end play, crankcase ventilation issues (PCV/CCV problems), or improper installation depth. Address these issues before installing the new MAHLE JV5283 seal.
