No, you sure do not. That was true decades ago but today is a waste of money and oil. Change your oil/filter every 5,000 miles if you use conventional oil and every 8,000 miles if you use synthetic and you drive under normal conditions. If your vehicle is equipped with an oil life monitor system then change it when the system tells you too and reset the oil life monitor. If it does not come on for one year change the oil anyway and reset the system even though the light is not on.

2005 Jeep Cherokee Limited oil grade and type?

Any good multiviscosity oil will do just fine for you. I would use a 10W30 or 10W40 grade oil and change it every 3000 miles along with the filter. Do that and you'll be fine. Go ahead and spend the money for synthetic oil if you want to but still change it every 3000 miles....but you don't need touse that fancy dancy stuff.
