There are probably more oil threads than any other topic. Search is your friend. And you need 6 quarts for the 4.0 engine.
And another good site to research oil and filters is "bobistheoilguy". Here's a link. Check out the oil forums specifically.

Best price point on oil filter will be a Purolator Classic. Spoil it with a Purolator Gold, or WIX.
Oil? Summertime: Shell Rotella 15W40. If your engine doesn't leak oil, I suggest Shell Rotella T6 Synthetic. I have had good luck with most major oils, but the 4.0L will thank you for the extra zinc/additives in the diesel oil package.
Consensus is to avoid FRAM oil filters except in dire emergencies and temp use only.
Grabbing some popcorn now..

I only run home made snake oil. My neighbor presses it, he gives me some when I need it in exchange for the wife cleaning his living room once a week. She spends a couple hours over there but my engine really loves the oil so I know it's worth it!
As for filters, Melitta has a great bamboo unit in #4 size. Really clean.

There's a thread on oil in my signature. Give it a boo.

Oil filter brands easy #1 Wix #2 NAPA Gold or Silver made by Wix.
As for oil it depends on what its going into I use Rotella in my XJ and all my Diesels everything else gets full syn Castrol except for my race motors and I use Mobile 1/NAPA NASCAR Racing Filters (Wix) in them because I have a sponsor for the oil and filters.

Rotella T6 5w40 and a Ford FL-1A filter for both the 88 MJ and 00 XJ 4.0's
They live happy lives, I don't like snakes so avoid the snake oil, I prefer to listen to old wives tales as an entertainment source instead.
