The “upgrade” 3.6 has been around in the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the mini vans for several years now. The Wranglers got it last for some reason. With people running heavier weights than xw20 with no issues. It took me a few months of research to finally make the switch to a thicker oil. I just...

Nothing wrong with supporting your country and buying things produced there, you should be patriotic! Nothing political about that. I try to buy things made in the USA when I can. I spent a lot of time visiting Canada when I was younger, a good friend of mine was from Saskatchewan. Beautiful...

What I was referring to is the design of the cartridge oil filter housing and cooler combo that sits on top of the engine. The design lacks an anti-drain back valve so much of the oil drains back into the pan. It’s a debate on how serious it actually is (if at all) but it’s something that I was...

I agree! I couldn’t find it anywhere in those videos where he mentions the maintenance in it. So I cant take it seriously to begin with. They’ve made 14 million of these engines, so even a small number of failures would seem like a lot in my opinion. I’ve seen too many with high mileage running...

It took me a lot to move up to the 0w-30, so it might take me a bit to try that 😂

Thanks!, has your experience been similar?

I wish I had the nerve to do that, but I couldn’t with the warranty in place. I would’ve had a stroke worried about it 😂

2021 Jeep GC 3.6 4x4. Owned since new currently with 87k. Used various brands of 0w20 with Valvoline flavors for the last 20k. Mostly 5-6k intervals. Switched to Amsoil SS 0w-30 for this oil change. I know this isn’t a laboratory test. But this trip we take from Ohio to Florida is one we take...

I agree, it’s done purpose lol The 3.6 before it got its “upgrade” was listed as 6 quarts then changed it. My OCD could never list it at 5.9! 😂

The Buick takes 4.5 quarts, I don’t mind saving the half quart. Her Jeep GC on the other hand takes 5.9 quarts, I’m not measuring out .1 quarts. It gets all 6 😂

I’ve used them several times over the years in different vehicles. Nothing bad to say!

2021 Grand Cherokee 3.6 86k Out - STP XL 18k In - Purolator One Changed a little earlier than the normal 25k I’d usually run it.

2021 Grand Cherokee 4x4 3.6 w/ 86k Out - Valvoline EP 0w20 & EcoGard Syn. 5k OCI In - Amsoil SS 0w30 & EcoGard Syn Definitely sounds quieter withe the 30 weight. Not sure if I want to stick with the 5k OCI’s or bump it up a little with the Amsoil. Also got a new serpentine belt and air filter...

There’s a little locally owned Napa franchise near me that I enjoy going in. Usually has his filter prices set reasonably. The NG for my Ram is $8 normal price. Which would you do? Just run the NG and not worry about it, or stick with the other PG’s “knowing” they have the better media?

Wonder why the Napa Gold version of the PG filter is the only one rated at 30 microns?
