Yep Dexron III is what you want in your transmission and transfer case.

Any of those engine oils you listed is fine in the summer. Shell Rotella is a forum favourite in these engines. For winter I'd strongly suggest something that flows better like 5w30 or 5w40. Just don't forget to run a decent oil filter! Cheap FRAM, STP, and their ilk don't count as decent. Mopar, Purolator, and WIX we like a lot. MANN looks okay if you have a source for those

PP90H looks fine. Any 80w90 or 75w90 API GL-5 hypoid gear oil is what you need. 75w140 should be used in the rear if you go offroad or do a lot of towing.

Thanks a lot, Salad. I'll try to find Shell Rotella. Mopar oil filter will be problem here, but I saw Pulorator somewhere. PP90H will be solution for me, I'm using car as veteran, only light terrain, no towing.

edit: Is oil filter same for 2.5 and 4.0 ? I found only for 4.0 and it is Mopar.
Shell Rotella is imposibble to find here, so I found Castrol Magnatec and it is for Jeep in E-Shop, so I think it will be ok.

That autokelly.cz won't load here, in general terms our engines (4.0 and little brother 2.5) do very well on diesel oil, as long as it's also certified for gasoline engines. Most oils intended for heavy duty use bearing API CJ-4 and SM will do the trick.

The filters are the same on later models, not sure about earlier. A visit to an auto parts website to look up the part numbers will tell you if they're the same.

That should be just fine. It's a synthetic that's rated for both gasoline and diesel engines. Can't buy it over here.

eta: RockAuto shows the same oil filter for the 2.5 and the 4.0 in 1987

Thanks, I will buy filter for 4.0. Mopar is for 15 USD, it's nice price. Thanks a lot, I will do it this weekend.

Glad to hear your jeep is doing great ... I just noticed your jeep has gold mesh limited trim wheels very rare to see now adays... Is that a grass run way?

Oh, I see it's long time from my last visit here. I'm sorry for letting your question unanswered. :-)
Yes, I like these wheels. :-) Jeep is still going great. I was waiting for snow, but here is still no snow. (thank to God). Now I must buy a new cieling cover, old is in bad condition.
Grass runway? What do you mean?

One question. I want a cromme mask for my Jeep. Fits this on my car? Of course, with light frames. E-shop says it's for 84-95, but I don't believe, that it's same for all that years.

Jelen,
the crome grill you need is for 84-90 only with the light frames.
91- up is different both in size and mounting.

Thank you. From e-shop they wrote me, that this grill in link in post above is for 84-90, so it's o.k. I was only not sure about picture. If you can see on picture and tell me... :-)
Another question. Can anyone help me, with decode VIN? I want any datacard, like for Mercedes cars, if it is also for Jeep.
