Engine oil advice
I've always used Quaker State oil in my gasoline engines.
My 97 TJ 2.5L 5spd will use 10w-30 year round, or so the books say. I know that some folks here have used synthetic engine oil. Any recommendations/advice as to benefits of synthetics? Thanks Matt 97 TJ, 2.5L, 5spd |

Benefits... dunno. I've tried everything from synthetic/mix/dino and noticed exactly nothing. Regular changes are the key. With synthetics you can stretch things a bit longer. Cost-wise I think it's about dead even. The only benefit to the pure synthetic was when I go to higher/colder climates. It seems to run better than dinosludge does. :) -- DougW |

Re: Engine oil advice
I have used synthetics in my vehicles for about 10 years.. Before that it
was Quaker State. Same thing on my last vehicle, a 98 Cobra. I used synthetic. Sometimes oil changes didn't get done till about 5k miles but usually it was between 3-4k. Just before we traded it in at 77k miles we peered in through the oil filler opening and it was still just as clean and bright as it could be. I couldn't say that with a dino oil. Seriously, it works great. I use Mobil 1. It's in my Liberty too.
