I always catch AC or Purolater on sell and buy 4 per vehicle Jeep,Beater and wife's Malibu. Enough for a whole year. I buy my oil this way also. DRIVE an hour and buy something besides Fram.

Well, I'd post a pic of Gracies' motor, but you can't see it for all of the mud! On a good note, however, at she has quit drooling from the vavle cover (for now).

Clean as any Jeep engine needs to be unless it is new or needs to be worked on and mud needs to be eliminated from possible contamination.

3 full days off road and 3 weeks of city driving. It's got a hole in the CCV boot.. That must be my next project.

Yeah and you can work on them and you don't need fancy code readers or a fancy diagnostic computer. Closed cooling which I prefer and hand tools.

I smell a bit of a CHEATER!! Your engine can't get cleaner!! You could eat off that damn thing!! Nice job, I guess the best way to clean a 4.0 is to remove it......and put a SHINY new one in!!LOL!! How does that thing run??
