Dip stick and oil opinions

I have a 93 Cherokee. 4 cylinders and 2.5 L and I am pretty sure the dip stick is short. anyone have a spare dip stick for this make and model engine they could send me? also, is 3.25 quarts enough oil and what are your thoughts on synthetic verses conventional oil?

I believe the capacity is 4 quarts...

As far as synthetic vs conventional... you have just opened a can of worms on one of the most heated debates the world has ever known..

I dont even want to comment due to the imminent flaming that will ensue LOL

Maybe someone with a 2.5 could measure their dipstick and post it.

Capacity is 4 quarts for sure.

Someone will measure it for you I'm sure.

Use good oil filters like Wix, Napa Gold or Mopar.

Salad did a very comprehensive write-up on oil. He'll probably be posting in this thread soon. A link to his write-up is in his signature.
