Rotella is a diesel oil (it is also rated for use in gasoline engines).

Rotella rocks. Good enough for turbocharged diesels and good for the 4.0. Cleans sludge out like nobody's business. Watch how soon your oil turns black and the sludge melts off your rocker arms by shining a light into the oil filler hole!

Your basic question should be whether you want a dino/synthetic blend (T5) or full synthetic (T6). I assume you have it sorted out.

Ok today the oil was changed with t5 10w30 rotella wix filter cleaned my IDC sensor.checked my other sensors.took of my muffler exhaust because there's a huge hole in it and getting new exhaust soon."so loud now " and pained my wheels and took all trim and corner bumper stoppers off.after doing the oil change with new filter it runs great on the road but at idle and when I slow down the whole jeep shakes it's super rough at idle.still sounds like it is misfiring. I don't know what to do it's driving me crazy.

I'm guessing "IDC" = "IAC"?

Sounds like you mighta knocked it. They're very sensetive.

Occastionally the PCM can forget the IAC's position and idle wrong. Try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and it'll reset/relearn it.

I had the battery disconnected when I cleaned it and yes I hit the wrong letter IAC.but I do have a aftermarket CPS on my jeep as we'll.
