Amsoil XL-5W-20

[rraiderr]

Is 5000 miles on Amsoil XL 5W-20 in a Jeep GC with tow package and Hemi safe to do.

Half of the mileage is towing 5000 pounds total in the heat with the AC cranking.

Thanks

Don't forget the ATF, it gets worked also when you tow.

How does it feel pulling a 5000 trailer with a Jeep Grand Cherokee?

I can remember when most full-sized American Iron was available with a "Factory Tow" (or, sometimes, "Super-Cooling, etc.) package, often with a frame hitch as well, and people towed their camp trailers, boats, etc.

Delta 88, Galaxie 500, Polara Wagons, etc.

The only people with Suburbans were families with 7-10+ kids. A 4WD CrewCab pickup was something one usually saw in Railroad colors. You usually owned a truck if there was a ranch or a farm somewhere in the picture.

I would expect that a Hemi GC with a tow package could handle something somewhat more challenging than a 5000 lb tow load. That's the load for a V6 with a tow package, it's 7400 for the Hemi.

Cheers!

It tows very well, plenty of power for passing and the big hills, handles high heat with the AC blasting while towing no problem.

I do have the tow package.
