Notices
JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

What was done to your JK this week?

The only difference between 5w30 and 10w30 is during startup, with the 5w30 being the better option. They're both the same weight at operating temperature (30 weight), however when cold (startup) the 5w is thinner and thus will flow through the engine better, protecting the components faster than the 10w.

What about the 5W-20, like they put at my Jeep dealer?

I use Mobil 1 5w20 and I think I qualify for living in a hot area. While its thinner than 5w30, it works fine (trust the engineers, if not Chryslers then Hondas.) This really isn't the proper thread for such a discussion though.

When you installed the console did you have to remove the top?
