Until someone can prove to me that X is the best oil and Y has the best filter, I buy both when I find a good sale. This way I can also change the oil and filter as often as I like. It's what suits me that counts.

Basically, any oil with a modern rating (SL,SM,SN) is good quality. Choose one that is priced nicely and readily available to you.

I'm wondering if the eng hasn't been rebuilt. it was a state owned vehicle. I'm the first person to title it. it has 138k miles on it and carries 45lb of oil pressure at a hot idle. I bought into the zinc protection etc but my jeep didnt like rotella 15w40. at all.

Ok.. to each his own.but.....
Whats wrong with lucas. That stuff has saved me many motors. And/or kept more parts serviceable
I know some ppl think fram filters are crap, or do not work right with jeeps.
But i sure would not use rotella.
Mobil1 or nothing.
Again to each his own.
