Been running Valvoline SynPower 5-20. Works great for me.
I know a lot of people that use the O'Reilly store brand full synthetic and like it.
Its much cheaper (especially if you catch it on sale), but I am a Valvoline guy.
To each his own...

Post Another Valvoline guy here!
You can always get the NAPA store brand if you want a cheaper alternative. It's made by Valvoline

I usually pickup a case when the put it on sale

I would recommend using Amsoil oil and filter. I change it myself and am confidant that the job was done right. I like to work on my Jeep too.
