Fram are morons, I use WIX for my filters, best bang for the buck. I buy them in packs of 50 and it costs me about 3$ a filter US, by the time it gets to my house its about 4$ a filter Canadian which is still cheaper than buying fram at the local parts store yet they're twice as good.
You're doing it right man, but on the last oil change use a good filter, i think thats all anyone is saying.

I had my step dad argue with me for 45 minutes about it until I showed him bobistheoilguy.com articles stating he was wrong. Even then he wouldnt believe it.
Short answer; Science says it doesnt, Old timers say it does, you decide what you want to believe.

No, some old timers will tell you it does but they don't know anything about modern oils obviously.

Me too, read for a while on bobistheoilguy and you'll learn a lot. I read until my eyes bled then I said "ok I know enough not to use fram and what oils work for my vehicles, im done." lol

What do you mean by twice how many oil changes for your recomendations?
1) Drain water oil fill with new qauker oil + filter run for a day ?
2) Empty fill again with qauker + filter since i got a deal, Then for another day
3) Last Fill with my Synpower Valvoline and tough guard filter
A question to everyone is there a problem that i am switching between synthetic back to conventional to clean my engine out they are both 10w-30?

Here ya go: http://www.go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoRearMain.htm
Just did mine, not too bad. Worst part was getting the front axle to hang low enough to get pan out.
BIG TIP: drain the oil the night before so when you take the pan off oil is not dripping on your face. Good luck.
Also when you put the pan back on start all of your bolts before tightening any of them. Don't over tighten them either.
