Yep. We changed it at 5000, then 7500 and had it analyzed. No significant difference in oil breakdown between 5000 and 7500 so we went to 10000 and checked it again. Fine.

Now, on my Jeeps, it's 5000 miles and a Napa Gold filter.

Wow wonder if I could get away with that. My only worry is the filter.

Keep in mind those engines held between 20 and 44 quarts of oil.

Keep your Jeep at 5000 mile intervals.

I learned a trick to beat inspection of tinted front windows. The driver + passenger windows I use a 'static-cling' tint. It removes with no residue and goes back on easily after inspection. It does not scratch either.
Did the whole Jeep for $50 a mix of static and adhesive type.

The visors are 'clamshell' type They will open up with a little prying. I used the original visor wrap as a template.

Drove my xj to pull a trailer to move in a new place. Made 4 trips, as the new place is 10 minutes away.

The old struts work perfect for a hood lift. Good write-ups on here somewhere.

I've got the visors open and the new fabric traced out, but I can't get the new fabric to stay in. After work I think I'm just gonna glue the fabric on. Then all I have to worry about is the edges.
