Gonna change my oil soon with spring around the corner, temperatures will be in the 30's-50's still for the next few months. What's the most suitable oil I should go with in my 145k mile 5SFE? Also, which filters do you guys use? I was on Jeepforum with my previous Jeep and it was made clear NEVER to use Fram filters as they're made of cardboard! |
