I'll stick with my 5W30, and keep the ASS disabled, thank you very much. I'm alright with losing .15 MPG if it means that my engine will last over 100,000 miles without a tear down. Besides, can't use the ASS in AZ, cuz it kills the A/C!
So, just went out to the garage, and was surprised to see that the 2018 JL does recommend 0W20 on the oil cap. My wife drives that thing like she's qualifying for Talledega, and only changes the oil when it tells her to. I'm guessing she must be on to something. I'm a traditional, "every 6,000...
