So.....my daily driver is a 2000 Jeep grand Cherokee with the invincible 4.0L engine that i picked up a few months back when I had the engine out of my truck.
I decided to run some basic repairs (valve cover gasket and thermostat) and I got one [censored] of a shock when I took the cover off. It was gunked halfway to [censored] and by far was the worst example of gunk I have ever seen.
Thread on my usual forum has the details of what went on and how I fixed it.

Anyhow this being an oil forum here are pictures of the filter I pulled off the engine before the flush and the filter used for the 1st flush, 2nd flush was similar. 3rd was as it should be and 4th is currently running in the engine.

Now it is currently using a purolator classic and some no name carquest oil in 10-30, bearing in mind that the engine has 251000 miles and no leaks (I fixed em lol!) what oil should I be running as I am not going to rebuild this until a bearing fails. 10-40? Something even heavier?
Thanks again guys!
