Why is it hard to get my oil cap off?
A layer of burnt oil forms on the cap that makes it hard to remove. Be careful, some caps have a ratcheting mechanism(like a gas cap) to help prevent over tightening (I can’t remember if the Camry does).
How do you put oil in a Jeep Wrangler?
Start adding oil into the jeeps using a funnel. The amount and viscosity of oil that you will add depends on your jeeps model. You can refer to the users manual for more information. If for instance, if your jeep model requires six quarters of oil, you can start by adding five quarters. Start the engine and allow the oil to circulate to all part.
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.
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.
Can you use GL-3 fluid in a Jeep Wrangler?
If it’s a GL-4 bottle without the GL-3 rating, don’t use it in a transmission calling for GL-3. ATF+4 and ATF+3, on the other hand, are significantly simpler. ATF+4 was developed to succeed ATF+3 applications and degrade much slower.
How often should you change the oil on a Jeep Wrangler?
As Jerry said, change oil & filter regularly. You don’t have to spend a lot to get great oil today, todays oils are fantastic, just use what is best for your climate. Jeep 6 cylinder engines will outlast the Jeep if taken reasonable care of, mine has over 300,000 miles and running strong.

What kind of oil do you put in a Jeep Wrangler?
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. The higher the number, the more lubricity the gear oil has, but also the more additives.
