You might also want to check overheating which also makes the
noise happen more. This happened to me especially if engine
coolant was low.

Nope. Changed the oil in my 4.0L I6 with 190000 miles with
Mobil1 Synthetic and it seems to have quieted down whatever
lifter was lazy.

Yes and yes it can go away by itself. I added coolant and changed
my oil to Mobil1 synth. 10W30. You can also try 15W50 synthetic.
That's what I use in my VW in the summer but I don't see the
need to use this for the Jeep since the oil pressure is good with
the 10W30.
