Is it, though? You can hear that infamous ticking with every start until the oil gets up there. I've already had to replace all the rocker bearings on one 3.6L (not saying that was the issue, because it wasn't), but who's to say those dry starts won't lead to issues down the road? I like to keep...

Anyone installed one of these on a 3.6L Pentastar? https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/oil-filters/ms-201-bk-baxter-performance-cartridge-to-spin-on-oil-filter-adapter

Just switched my 2016 Jeep Wrangler (3.6L) over to 5W-30 after the infamous oil cooler failed and I replaced it with the Dorman aluminum one. That engine is around 70K. Now that I've replaced the dadgum rocker bearings, tappets, etc. on my 2014 Grand Cherokee (same engine) at 127K miles, I'm...

About to change the oil in my "slightly used" Grand Cherokee. I've got 6 quarts of Mobil 1 5W-20 laying around...any recommendations? What about filter? I was thinking about a K&N. LINK: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S0W6BIK/ref...=I13MJBUYGIS90J What say you, forum?

Originally Posted By: Californiabob I'd run some crankcase cleaner- kreen, seafoam, MMO - if you continue to see oil consumption. to get the rings, valves, cams, cranks, all a little cleaner (not to mention all those little holes where the oil leads back downstairs). I run seafoam a few times...

Looks like I may need a new PCV valve.

Originally Posted By: demarpaint As already mentioned I'd change the PCV valve and use an OE valve only. If that doesn't work I'd try a HM oil and/or bumping up a grade to 5W30 and see what happens. I can run 30 weight? Interesting. I knew I could run 0W-20, just didn't know I could run 30W.

Originally Posted By: daman Junk it!!! Um...nope. I'm the original owner and she's been in the shop 2x--once for an oil pump and once for brake lines. Most dependable car I've ever owned, BUT I do drive that 4-banger like it's a V-8. That's probably part of the issue. Ha!

Anyone every heard of burning through roughly 3 quarts of oil in 5.67 months/5104 miles? I know she's usually down .5-1 quart about every 7,500 miles, but THREE QUARTS!?!?! I drove about an hour at 80pmh yesterday and just before I turned the engine off, I saw the oil light flicker. I...

Originally Posted By: slacktide_bitog For 8k, use the cheapest synthetic on sale. for the filter, use Carquest (both the red and blue filters are acceptable), Wix/Napa Gold, Fram Ultra, M1, or Purolator P1 or synthetic or the new Boss. Sometimes Napa has the Platinum filter for the same price...

Originally Posted By: toneydoc You already use the synthetics mentioned in the 2cars you take care of. Both are good quality oils and either one will work nicely in that engine for 8k miles. Just look for a good sale of either at your parts store and you are good for a 2 year change interval...

I'm going to take over my mom's oil changes. She's got around 130K on her Honda. To my knowledge she's been doing the 3K mile, conventional oil change. She only puts about 4K miles per year on the van (she's 69). I was thinking about changing to either Mobil 1 Full Synthetic or Pennzoil Ultra...
