Good point! Limit the regulator to 15 psi if possible. I've had very
nasty things happen when I forgot this little detail.

Glad your problem was solved so cheaply. Just one thing-some people
think the PureOne's tightly fluted filter element might actually
impede oil flow. Any way, just to be safe, I use the Premium+. My
next choice would be Wix. If I knew for sure it doesn't, I'd use the
PureOne also.

DC says you can continue to use the 'Amerian Green" coolant your Jeep came
with .... they recommend you upgrade to the new G-05 spec coolant.
Valvoline's Zerex brand makes both the original green and G-05 spec
coolants. They are available at PepBoys and NAPA.
Be sure to use Distilled water, minerals in tap water promote corrosion
A flush-n-fill kits makes the procedure simple and thorough and costs less
than $5.

Interesting about the fram oil filter.....
I put one in last oil change and had a lifter noise happen on start up.
I was just thinking the engine was showing it's age until I read earlier
this summer about the fram filters and start up noise issue.
So I changed the oil and filter last week and put a different brand of
filter in and wow! The first start had the valve train rattle like
'normal', but that was the only one. It now starts up quiet.
That is the last Fram filter for me thanks!
