first time jeep owner and i want to change the oil whats a good oil the jeep people use because in my 91 sentra se-r we swear by mobil 1 just trying to get a feel thanks for reading

Rotella T6, better and cheaper than Mobile 1. I swore by Mobile 1 until I got a Jeep.

Good writeup on oil right here.

Wow. That is a loaded question. There are posts for miles on oil opinions, all different. I read that massive oil post from the link above last week. Very interesting and I'm going to try the rotella t6 next time.

Rotella T6 and WIX filters=happy jeep

X2, I run T6 5w40 year round. Right now I have a Motorcraft FL-1A filter ("oversized" and an excellent filter for the money) on it (The Wix51515/NAPA1515 are good options as well). In the winter I usually run a NAPA Gold (WIX) 1459 (WIX 51459), which is even larger (it and the Baldwin B7311-MPG are pretty much the biggest filters that fit) for the extra surface area (and at least theoretically better flow).

Shell Rotella T6 5w40
Pennzoil (yellow bottle) 5 or 10w30
Castrol Edge 0w30
Mobil 1 0w40


My top recommendations. I personally ran T6 for a few sessions to clean things out a bit and am now running PYB 5w30.

Havoline 40W.

thanks for the response rotella t6 is onsale at walmart and i get 10 percent of from working there so thats a plus

might as well ask spark plugs we swear by ngk in nissans so whats do jeeps like and please add the part number thanks for reading

I run Driven 10W40 synthetic hot rod oil from Joe Gibbs Racing. I wouldn't recommend it for a stock motor, though.

Jeeps (the 4.0L I6 specifically) like copper plugs (and will generally run better on them than platinums), either NGK (part# ZFR5N) or Champion (part# RC12LYC in 99 and older or RC12ECC in any model year) both work well.

Stick with NGK coppers on your Jeep also.

That's way too thick.

I run castrole gtx high milage 10w 30

Will this Rotella T6 5w40 with the WIX filter and these NGK plugs work on 2001 year model okay?
Also, could you check out my differential pics I posted, compared to the pics you posted. I'm having a hard time telling which ones.

Not trying to steal the thread, just need your thoughts. Thanks!
