If you listen carefully enough, you can hear the oil drain into the pan when adding fresh oil after an oil change too.

nothing to worry about just oil returning to the bottom of the engine, probably more audible due to the vast amounts of oil in the 4.0

Mine does it too, but if you pat close attention it sounds to light to be oil so I figured it was coolant.
If you squeeze your large hose going to the water pump slightly it sounds the same. (on mine anyways)

I thought it was coolant as well and made sure there wasn't air in the system. So when I shut the engine off I laid under the Jeep and could hear the oil drainging into the pan.Originally Posted by XJUSMC

Wouldn't think one would hear coolant.....there's no place for it to drain back too.
