    Oil Change Disaster

    Probably double gasket on filter due to the old one stuck to mounting surface on engine when old filter was removed. That would quickly drain the engine oil and happens frequently.

    5G- any good?

    No such thing, all the G stands for is Generation. We are currently at 5G, so next would be 6G, not 5 straight to 10. Just marketing crap.

    2007 Jeep Wrangler reliability vs TJ

    The last good engine in a Wrangler was the 4.0 after that pure crap when Fiat took over. I thought Diamler was going to be bad, but Fiat trashed reliability the breed. Europeans build nothing but compromise.

    "Paper" ATF filter - do I really need to get it changed?

    I would have the pan dropped and fluid and filter replaced soon. I personally change fluid and filter every 25,000 miles regardless of manufacturer recommendations because as they say many of the fluids are for the life of the transmission, trans dies, there's it life.
