Re: Question about front axle on Cherokee Sport
When my Jeep was young, I worked for Microsoft, and their stock doubled in
value two or three times a year, I put this stuff in it. Now I don't
bother. Gear oil is another story.

Re: Question about front axle on Cherokee Sport
I'm using a synthetic blend right now. A local place was dropping Phillips
66 products over the summer and I asked "How much if I take ALL the 10w-30?"
I got the last three and one half cases of Trop-Artic 10w-30 for $1/qt.
