Wrangler Engine Explode after heavy offroading in snow
My friends and I took our 3 JK on a snow offroading and red Wrangler got the motor exploded as you can see in the end of the video.
Does anyone have any clue what might happen here,because several mechanics took the Jeep in their shop but could not solve the issue now for a weeks. Any suggestions would be helpful

My Assessment, would be that it seems whom ever was driving the jeep exceeded the revlimiter and could have thrown a rod or spun a barring. Assuming the jeep is now incapacitated or immobile.
pdurio is referring to what type of fuel was used in the vehicle. "To rich" could mean one used the incorrect fuel/octane which here in the states is "regular" or 87oct etc.

Who doesn't change the their oil for 3 years! There can't be ANY plausible explanation for that. Only thing I can think of is someone buying it used, and not knowing, but even then....first thing new owner should do is change that crap.
