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.
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.
How does gas get into the engine oil?
Excessive Fuel When a fuel injector is stuck open, the fuel will flood out. Gasoline will definitely get into the oil when this is the case. If the fuel pressure in your car is too high (above 7 psi) that may cause gasoline to get into the engine oil.
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.

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.
