Default Oil change

I'm about due for an oil change and was wondering what kind of oil you asl recommend, I have a 2000 3.0 with about 83 thousand miles. When I had my jeep I just used the cheapest oil I could find. Thanks

I would do a search. Oil threads aren't really gonna get you anywhere. Just use one that is spec'd in the owners manual and use the weight that the manual recommends for your climate and you will be good. I will say dont use Purolator PureONE oil filters at least on an STR they dont seat all the way when tightend and you will seep oil and have a small drip.

Please search and read the numerous Looooong threads on which oil is the bees knees.
Everyone has their personal preferance, I doubt we need to go through it again.

Welcome to the forum, Dan.

You'll find it's a generally knowledgeable and very helpful bunch, here, though I fear you may've started with a topic that has already spawned many discussions albeit few conclusions. Use Valvoline in whatever grade the manual recommends for your climate. The more you buy, the greater the chance the stock appreciates, the better my 5 kids' chances of affording college!

I usually go for whatever is on sale at the local autoparts store. Usually they run oil change specials.
