How many quarts of oil in your Jeep Wrangler 4.0?
Just changed all of my fluids today for the first time since buying my ’99 TJ last week. Wanted to make sure everything has clean fluids. In reading the manual, it recommended 4-6 quarts of 10w30. After four quarts it looked low.
Is it OK to use synthetic oil in a Jeep Wrangler?
The owner’s manual does not specify conventional or synthetic oil for the engine. One thing for sure is, there has never been an engine that has failed directly as a result of using regular oil, blend or synthetic oil. So before you select which oil type to use, there are a few important factors to take into consideration.
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 kind of oil does a 2005 Jeep Cherokee take?
The only real issue is with 2005/2006 oil pump drives but that isn’t an oil related problem since only 2005/2006 models have the issue. For a stock Jeep engine, today’s oils have enough zinc.
What kind of oil do you use in Jeep Wrangler 4.0?
With the exception of a few times I’ve always used 10w-40 Mobile 1 synthetic and I have 184,000 miles and the last 20k or so the lifters have gone to shit. After looking and reading around it seems the 4.0 likes heavier oil and zinc. A few days ago I changed oil and used Quaker State Defy.

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.
