I lived in Lindenhurst IL (west of Waukegan) when I had my bought new 95 JGC 4.0. I ran Mobil 1 10w30 for the 176,000 miles I owned it and my son-in-law now has 198,000 on it. Fram oil filter. Never a valve cover off or any problems except rear main seal replaces at 102,000 miles. With the new 5w40? SUV/truck oil out I'd probably use that.
