Alright fellow WJers, Rotella D is what most people seem to lean towards for the 4.0 along with a wix (or napa gold) filter... but what about for the 4.7? I just got this jeep a month ago so I'm on really unfamiliar ground with it. I used to use Mobil 1 in all of my engines, but I'm wanting to do a little research this time and find out from the WJ community what's best for my engine.

Use what ever the owners manual recommends, most likely a 5W-30.

I was actually looking for what brand, not the weight of the oil.
