Exactly. And when you add up all the ownership costs associated with a vehicle, seems a little odd to pinch pennies on oil. Consider depreciation, insurance, tag, and fuel. The extra cost of going from a basic API spec oil to M1 ESP to even Amsoil isn't really that a big of a difference in the grand scheme.
Current top 0w-20’s?

Besides the barrel, what's the lowest cost per quart? Gallon jugs? Case? (I know I could go to the website and do the math, but you probably know offhand.)
Plus you get basically 5% back on your purchases IIRC. And $5 for your birthday.
$10.50/qt case of 4 - 1 gallon jugs
Whatever is on sale and has an API emblem on it. Good enough for me. That also applies to my 5W30 oils.
Money saved is money saved. But hey, it's your money and your car.
Here is a 2 runs on a 2021 Gladiator 3.6 I used to own new. Amsoil Signature series 0w-20. As far ass viscosity retention is did amazing. Now I never got around to why there was no much iron in the oil. I think the engine was eating a cam but no way to tell. Common on 3.6. I highly recommend you run a 5w30 or 0w-30 in this engine. Honestly 40 weight wouldn’t be bad however Amsoil 5w-30 SS is a good standard.

Amsoil SS 0w30 for the Jeep, Quaker State MS-6395 0w20 for warranty paperwork. Use the Quacker in another car in the family or give it to a friend.
You can afford the money pit called Jeep, but you can't afford Amsoil. Seriously?

Tough crowd in this forum...Geez
Ive ran Torco, HPL, Scaheffers and HPS 5w20 all lately. Cant tell a difference in any of them. I will say that my wifes 24 nissan burned a little HPL but never used any oil before and after HPL. I just put the last of my HPL in my 2018 rogue that has never used a drop in 110k to see what happens. Our 24 has almost 8k on a sump full of Torco and has some pretty hard runs from northern Ohio to the east coast and the level is holding steady. Not a knock on HPL, just is what it is.

If you go Amsoil, sign up with the sponsor here.
All the current top 0w20s are 0w40s.

I don't think I'll ever use any 0,5-20 or thinner oils. I pay a lot for a car, as most of us do. For that reason I don't shop oils for prices, as I'm willing to pay more for what I feel good with. I don't shop for lower cost oil. For me a car is an expensive item and I look for quality in whatever lubrication I believe is better for it. Right now I'm onto 0W-30 M1 ESP. Maybe HPL when I use up what I have on hand now.
Its an Iron block, so makes sense that it would shed a bit normally.
No best and no OTS, but if money is not an issue, Overkill 0W-20. Run it for 20K and beyond.

No 68 is not normal. Fully broken in shouldn't be more than 40 for 10k miles. Where did you see the 68?
ah true, i was thinking of the 4.0. I looked up and saw the UOA. that.. is a bit of iron for a 3.6.
