First oil change
Ok, so my XJ is also my first car, and its time to change the oil. I'm confident that I can change the oil just fine, but I would like to know what motor oil you all use and recommend. I've heard some mixed reviews on synthetics and I really don't know a whole lot about oil, so any advice even if it seems non-related would really help me out.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Oil is oil for the most part, keep it changed regular, good quality filter, most places have sales all the time. O'reilly i think right now has 10.00 oil change deal with mobil 1. Be forwarned that the jeep takes a true 6 quarts so something like this would cost you 15 or so. Have fun with that filter and be sure to have a large catch pan!

Just changed mine last weekend. I used the oversize Napa Gold 1515 because it was a buck cheaper than the standard size Napa Gold 1085. WIX puts the Napa logo on the filter housing, obviously it's a WIX filter. Oil is pretty much oil, although I use the ashless dispersant 10W30 winter and summer here in Memphis.

i just changed mine this week and used the oversized 1515 napa gold filter, and that thing is frickin huge compared to our little filters. the guy at napa looked at me like a moron for buying it. he said "sir that goes to a 460 ford u dont want to run that". im like "just ring it up"
