Official 2020+ EcoDiesel Oil Recommendations

[1stXMan]

I don't mind shipping, if anyone is seriously interested. I'll work out a deal--it's just taking up space at this point.

This is what I have: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/...0-for-ecodiesel-2-50-quart.51735/#post-862735

I'm interested and in Texas. What do we think the shipping cost is?

Anyone try replacement oil filters from Amazon? Here’s one.

Seems risky. They misspelled filter. If they can't spell the product they're selling, what else did they ignore?

I'm happy to pay a little more for peace of mind.

I can see you getting towed in, they see this filter and void your warranty. If it were Fram or STP I would trust it but some knock off Chinese stuff, NOT A CHANCE

Mines going in for an oil change at the stealership tomorrow. Second wave change.

I had my last free oil change last week. One dealer I went to had the oil but no filters, so they sent me 30 minutes away to another dealer that had both. I was able to buy 2 of the 19 filters they had in stock for my left kidney. I can't find oil any where locally.

I would order Amsoil online. It's good oil, easy to get, and can be shipped to your door for free.

Been using this oil since new and didn't used any of the jeep wave oil changes. This is Pennzoil in a Quaker bottle.

It's not Pennzoil in a Quaker bottle. We've seen oil analysis reports on both oils. The Quaker State breaks down faster than the Pennzoil. That doesn't mean it's a bad oil, but the quality is not the same as the Pennzoil Euro.

Do you know at what mileage were the test performed? I changes every 8k miles. I'm going to have it test on my next oil change.

Here's the one that WXman posted. He had 6,300 miles on his UOA. You can see that his TBN had already fallen down to 4.22 in that timeframe. Ideally, you don't want the TBN to drop below 4. Based on price point, it's pretty obvious that Quaker State uses a cheaper base oil which is why you're seeing earlier oxidation. It would be interesting to know how long it would take the Quaker State to drop below a 3.5 and 3.0. For reference, my Pennzoil TBN is a 6 at the same mileage that his Quaker state is showing a 4.

Unfortunately not available in AZ stores anymore :-(

So which oil tests best for the edoDiesel? Also, what filter bypasses are people using and does it require more oil to run the bypass?
