the 3.6 was designed with these perticular oil weights in mind. the vvt and oil passages are designed to work within specific flow rates / viscositys. thicker is generally better for protection up to a point. also if you still have a warentee you want to run what they recomend so they cant try and use it aginst you should something fail.

Mobil 1 5w20. I've always liked Mobil 1 oil, and 5w20 is what Jeep calls for.
