What are the numbers on a Jeep Wrangler fluid bottle?
The numbers on the bottles all relate to the thickness of the oil at certain temperature thresholds. With 0 being the viscosity of water, higher numbers mean thicker/slower flowing oils. In short, a 5w-30 oil flows faster than a 10w-40 oil. The “w” in the viscosity indicates the oil’s viscosity in winter temperatures.
How can you tell if your Jeep Wrangler has an oil leak?
3. check the oil filter/cooler assembly. Take the engine cover off. Find the black oil filter housing and look down the passenger side of it. If you see oil around it you have a leak and needs to be replaced.
What does W mean on a Jeep Wrangler oil rating?
The “w” in the viscosity indicates the oil’s viscosity in winter temperatures. Generally, a faster flowing oil in colder temperatures is desirable because this means more internals get oil at startup faster than a slower flowing oil, reducing wear and tear on your engine. In terms of gear oil, you’ll see ratings like GL-3 and GL-4.

What to do when your Jeep Wrangler transmission is hot?
Hmm, didn’t know that. OP, check the return line from the transmission thermostat when your transmission is hot, and check the tranny cooler temp (with an infrared thermometer). It sounds like the thermostat may be stuck closed. I believe that in park it will show the engine coolant temperature in the transmission window.
What should the temperature be on a Jeep Wrangler?
I ask because on my brand new JK, the average EVIC transmission temperature is between 205 – 215 (when highway driving), where as, my previous JK, which was a six speed, was always between 195 and 205… Click to expand… That is higher than I have seen In mine.
