Google this phrase "oversized oil filter chart jeep Cherokee" and go to the first result. Not sponsored links.
I would insert the link but i don't know if it's against forum rules to link to another forum. I know other ones I am on sometimes it isn't allowed.

As offroadordnance explained, the diesel oil has more zinc for our 4.0s with flat tappets.
