New Guy here!
Picked up a 09 GC with the 3.7 for my wife's new kid hauler. Uses will be shorter trips 10-15 miles one way and the occasional run up the mountain to go sleding.
5W20 is the oil weight recommended by the manufacture
Must meet- Chrysler Material Standard MS-6395.
I plan to run a Wix 57045 oil filter
And a Wix 42329 air filter
Pennzoil ultra platinum
kendall HP w/liquid titanium
Lucas HP
Amsoil and Redline I know are both AWESOM however I just do not have $10+ per quart to toss in this consistently right now...
^^^ showed up in amazon and seem reasonable. However I haven't been able to find VOA's for these through searching BITOG. I haven't been able to find much of anything for that matter on the 3.7L jeep motor on here.
We are picking this jeep up with 40k miles and it appears that service has been done. However, Q8 (european brand) oil has been used in ties with a cheap-o orange Fram filters have been used (air and oil) oil changed every 6k miles and driven mostly highway...
However, I would like to give it a clean slate- good quality oil good quality filters. I am at the mercy of being stationed over seas and can not afford local out in town oil.... (10-15 euro per quart/liter + exchange rate = no good)
I purchase my oil through amazon as they ship synthetics here no problem and its relatively cheap.
Lastly any thoughts in regards to throwing 1/4 can of seafoam in the oil fill and running it around for a few days? My neighbor keeps recommending it to clear out any sludge that it may or may not have since service history is limited... Thoughts??
