A friend of mine JUST bought (35 miles on the odometer when it made it BACK to his house) a brand new Jeep. It is a 2006 Jeep wrangler with the 4.0 liter INLINE 6 cylinder. He plans on being the first, last, and ONLY owner.
This engine will see cold ohio winters(sometimes it gets down to 0 and below at night), and warm ohio summers (sometimes above 90).
What oil would you guys run? The manual recommends 10W-30. I was thinking regular Mobil 1 5W-30. Whatever oil my friend decides on, will be the ONLY oil he runs for the LIFE of the jeep... so I wanna help him make a good decision. That's why I thought Mobil 1 5W-30. It is SM rated, it is easy to get at walmart, and since the vehicle is still under warranty it is a well known name.
ALSO, he was thinking about changing transmission fluid, and all other fluids to synthetic. What tranny fluid (it's a 6sp manual), differential, etc etc would you all recommend?
thanks.
