Filter is super important on our Jeeps. Wix, Napa Gold or Mopar and you know you're safe.

For high mileage 4.0; Wally world Supertech 15-40 high zinc industrial fleet oil is a big bang for your buck!
In reality there is not any significant advantage from one brand over another.

I choose my viscosity by the ambient temperature. This is one situation where I agree with the recommendation of the Jeep engineers. Not everybody lives in the same climate. If I lived in Hawaii, I'd be using 10-30 all year long, but not in MN where I live! The -30 farenheit temperatures that we often experience mid-winter is damn cold, and I always use 5-30 for winter driving.
For temps primarily above 60 degrees farenheit, I use 10-30
For temps primarily below 60 degrees farenheit, I use 5-30
