T5 is synthetic/conventional blend 10w-30

T6 is full synthetic 15w-40

I had used Rotella conventional 15w-40
It seemed thick.

Chevron Delo 400LE has less phosphorous than any of the Rotellas, which is a plus for XJs with additional expensive catalytic converters. I think it only comes in 15w40 so should not be used anywhere less than hot (summer use only for most of the continent).

Just got my hesco water pump in the mail and the shaft seems tight. Should the shaft free-spin or should there be some resistance?

Changed the oil and went back to a 51515 Wix filter, topped the tranny off, pressure washed it, measured for new rear shocks, installed an electric line lock, and relocated my CB antenna. Almost ready for the Crawl.

Got the 100A fuse I needed for the new amp. My 12s sound amazing with the correct wattage. Then I drove around for a while, replaced my corroded turn signal socket so I have LEDs on both sides up front, and ratchet strapped the sub box into position so it'll stop sliding. Hashtag classy
