The passenger side front strut failed on my 2014 Grand Cherokee. Given how complex the job is (I watched a few youtube videos), I brought it to a local trusted shop who replaced both it and the driver's side one with a quick strut assembly. Handling has improved. But I hate the ride now. It's so...

Hey all, In July 2020, I replaced the OEM rotors (and pads) on my Grand Cherokee. I had heard great things from the BITOG community about both the Raybestos and Powerstop coated rotors. So I decided to try them both! Raybestos Element 3 RPT Grey Fusion rotors in the front, and Powertop Geomet...

Finally getting around to doing the brakes (rotors and pads) on my 2014 Grand Cherokee. I thought I had nailed down the rotors (Raybestos Element3 fully coated), but came across a deal on Wagner Premium E-coated rotors and now I'm debating which to go for. Raybestos Element3 fully coated...

I'm due for a brake job on my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Raybestos products are easily obtainable in my area, so I'm going with that brand. I'm debating which Raybestos rotors to go with: Element3 (part number ends with FZN) Front...

I have amassed quite a collection of filters for the 3.6L Pentastar in my 2014 Jeep GC. Which filter(s) would you recommend using for a 12mo/10,000KM OCI w/Pennzoil Platinum 5W-20?

I got ridiculously expensive quotes from various Jeep dealers in my area for "Mopar Gear and Axle Lubricant 75W-85". As such, I'm now looking at going with a 3rd party fluid brand. The front and rear diffs on my Jeep call for Synthetic GL-5 75W-85. My Jeep doesn't have a LSD. What do you guys...

I have some left over Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30 and Ultra 5W-30. Both together I have enough for my next oil change. Is it ok to mix them together? I'm thinking yes, but figured I'd check. Thanks

What's your opinion on the use of a thread sealant, such as Permatex' Thread Sealant, for differential drain/fill plugs, engine drain plug? Necessary, not necessary?

The transfer case in my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee requires the following spec'ed fluid: ATF approved to MB 236.10, MB 236.12, such as Shell ATF 3403/M-115, Fuchs/Shell ATF 3353 Does anyone have any recommendations of an easy to find fluid that meets those specs? I'm in Canada by the way. Thanks!

I still have a stash of Petro-Canada Supreme Synthetic 0W-30 API SM/CF rated oil. I was wondering if I could use that in my 3.6L Jeep Pentastar engine. I figured since this a new engine that it would require API SN, but I can't find anything that says that. The owner's manual says to use an...

I had some pesky white wax residue on the black plastic trim of my Jeep. Someone has mentioned to me to give Mr. Clean Magic Eraser a try and OMG does it ever work! I'm stunned at how easy it removed the residue. Highly recommended!!!

Well It's oil change time and I have some questions for you boys and girls. The 3.6L Pentastar engine in my 2011 Jeep GC requires 6Qt of oil. It's E85 Flexfuel compatible. Anyway, Jeep states "Use API Certified SAE 5W-30 Engine Oil, meeting the requirements of Chrysler Material Standard...

I have a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the new Chrysler Pentastar 3.6L V6. I took some pictures of a brand new Mopar engine air filter. I also took a few pictures of the Mopar(MicronAir) cabin air filter. The engine air filter is made in the USA and is really well made. The cabin air...

I've been running Ultra 5W-30 for the past 2000 KMs in my Jeep Liberty. 3.7L Powertech engine. I've noticed that the engine is much more noisier with Ultra vs GC and Edge that I've ran in the past. Been using the same make/model of filter(Mobil 1 M1-209) with all 3 oils(new filter each time of...

The front brakes on my Liberty squeal extremely loud when I drive around, as soon as I press on the brake pedal though, the squeal goes away, let go of pedal, squeal comes back. Also by turning the steering wheel side to side I can quiet or enhance the squealing. Sounds like it's mainly coming...

I'm currently using GC in my 3.7L Powertech. I was wondering though what you guys would say is the best synthetic oil for the Dodge/Jeep 3.7L? The recommended oil per the owner's manual of my 3.7 Liberty is 5W-30. I have 5Qts of Castrol Edge 5W-30 sitting at home ready to go into my Liberty...

I just picked up a set of GE Nighthawk Platinum 9007 bulbs for my Jeep liberty. The passenger side OEM Philips bulb was burnt out. Did I make a good buy? I'm gonna try em out tonight see how bright they are. I know the OEM Philips weren't all that bright.

Hey boys and girls, After hours of trying to figure out where the leak was coming from on my spare tire, I notice that it's coming from the valve itself. Looks like there is a hairline frature in the valve where you screw on the little protective cap. Since I have stupid TPMS, can I just caulk...

I have a Yamaha ATV (1999 Kodiak 400). I'm going to change out the front and rear differential fluids this weekend. This is what the owner's manual states: Quote: Rear Diff : SAE 80 API "GL-4" Hypoid gear oil Front Diff : SAE 80 or SAE 80W-90 API "GL-5" Hypoid gear oil. So I went to walmart...

Here is what the manual says: It's been a couple of years since I've changed the oil since I don't use it very often(about 200 miles/yr). The oil that's in there right now is Motul 10W-40 full synthetic. I went to the Yamaha dealer near me and they don't sell Motul anymore. They wanted to...
