Its about 3.5 quarts
A lot of guys on naxja like to use mobil 1 10w30 synth. (Mt-90 is a little hard to come by in some areas) .

haven't tried the 10w30 synth personally but will be doing it soon.

Has anyone seen a Clear valve cover for the 4.0l?

Any ideas where I could get one made. The concept of it seems really cool and it'd be different.

I'd like to find one and dress up my rockers like this pic.

Well I've seen some clear covers for Small bock chevys with some nice rockers and it looked awesome. Anything in the elements would get dirty but I thought it'd be neat.

Lift Kit Question

I just installed a Rough Country 3" lift with AAL on a 98 XJ. Everything seems to be good except I now have a scrapping noise that wasn't there before. It is a light metal-on-metal noise that sounds like a dragging brake shoe. Hitting the brakes does not change the sound so that's not it. The sound changes with speed though. Anyone have a similar experience or willing to offer a plausible explanation? TIA.
