Default What Oil to Use
It's about time for my new JK's first oil change. I've always run Mobil 1 5W-30 in my WRX, but the Jeep engine is very different. Any suggestions? What do you use?

I use Mobil1 - and if you like the brand already, stick with it. Only difference is you need 5w-20. I did my research and Mobil1 meets all the Chrysler warranty and oil requirements.

I use Royal Purple 5w20. A bit expensive, but worth it!

Ok, thanks everyone. I'll stay with Mobil 1 5w20.

Tried Royal Purple once, didn't seem much different.

Running Pennzoil Platinum synth 5W-20. Mobile 1 synth (or pretty much any of the others) are great to.
