What's the best oil and filter to run in a 99 cherokee with 176000 miles

 

Everything you'd ever want to know...

Oh no. Another can of worms opened.

Conventional: Super Tech 10W-30, Wix or NAPA Gold filter.

Synthetic: Mobil 1 10W-30, same filter.

 

Uh whatever brings it up to the full mark

 

Y U NO SEARCH?!?! Lol

 

I don't think none of the newer people know how to use the search function. Or just to lazy to look on there own.

 

I like using baby tears and kitten blood. filter? that just restricts flow in a bad way, I like chicken wire.

 

Is that a 50/50 mix on the blood and tears?

 

I gotta +1 this but I might be biased

Way too expensive long-term. The going rate on kittens is obscene and I already have enough restraining orders.

I switched to cow's blood with a little disolved Vegemite. Run it through some pantyhose to keep it fresh.

 

Cut open a Fram filter and use toilet paper as the element.

It is an improvement.

 

Doesn't help that the on-site search is broken

I'm a big fan of Rotella T6 5w40 + wix/napagold

 

This would be a good option. Personally, I might go with a High Mileage 5W30 (Maxlife, etc) and the Wix/NAPA Gold.

 

Looking at the info in Salad's thread listed above that Maxlife might be quite questionable on stats.

 

In what way?

 

Trashy oil. Low on zinc.

I wouldn't run it in a 40-year old lawnmower, much less one of my engines. It's just a marketing ploy. Notice how it costs more?
