I have owned my 2000 XJ for about 6 weeks. I don't know any of the maintenance history on it so I figure I need to replace all the fluids. Has anyone used Royal Purple? Is it really that good or are you just paying $8.50 a quart because big names endorse it? I have a list of Recommended Mopar Fluids, but just want your thoughts.

I would avoid AAL lifts, especially with a 4.5" kit. I don't like Rusty's lifts either. JMO though.

I'm a little concerned, my ZJ has completely stopped leaking tranny fluid and is running better that ever! It used to leak everywhere. What could be the issue? Seriously!?
