Went on the website and all I saw was to submit to get a free catalog. Didn't see anything about a free T-shirt. I did see where they were advertising for the T-shirts but they cost $17.99.
I went ahead and submitted for the free catalog hopefully they send me a free T-shirt as well.

Hey guys, got my oil changed about 3000 ago at a shop. They used 5w-30 motor oil, and I didn't notice until I was filing the receipt yesterday. Is that the right oil for my 99 XJ with 210,xxx? Other 6 cyl. SUVs I've had, I always put 10w-30 in. I plan on changing my oil myself tomorrow and want to make sure I get the right stuff. Any suggestions on brand/weight and type of filter?
Also, I am looking for an injector cleaner to pour in the fuel tank this afternoon before I fill up. Any brand suggestions?
Anything else I should change while I'm under there at this mileage?
Thanks!

Lucus makes some pretty good stuff, they are the only additives that I will use, whether its oil or fuel.

Just please make sure you get the lucas fuel injector cleaner if you're putting it in your gas tank. I was just stating that they make an oil stabilizer/stop leak as well and it works good.
