Re: Oil, big difference?
The little book that recommends 5w30 or 10w30 (preferred) for a TJ, not
10w40.

Re: Oil, big difference?
And at 250,000 on my '89 T-Bird and over three hundred thousand
miles on my Bronco without the heads ever coming off, I use 20/50
Pennzoil in up to a 121 degrees visiting my Daughter in Palm Desert. I
would say you should have under a hundred to use 10/30, or you will be
rebuilding it soon. Go by by oil pressure a hot idle should never be
under forty pounds, or you risk metal to metal contact.

Depends on where you live. You could always save it for winter, but
why not just ask the store if you can return it?

Move to Cutbank Montana. Wider 24 hour temperature range [a world
record last time I cared to check], lotsa natural gas, and bugs big
enough to give you a tow if you get stuck. Oh, and nothing but miles
and miles for miles and miles.
