Oil Changes

[Rusty PW]

I'm taking the click bait...

Mopar MO-349 Filter with 5 quarts Pennzoil Platinum 0w20 on the JT. I change every 5K on each of my vehicles. I also check all fluids, filters, tires and look everything over top to bottom. Rotations are generally every 6K miles for me.

I have no intention of using my free oil changes.

When you have a diesel that takes 9 qts, and a $40 oil filter. You'll use the free oil changes. I have 4 free oil changes. You bet I will use them.

I just use whatever is on sale at the dollar store. For a filter, I just cram a wad of cheese cloth in the housing.

I hate the mess that makes when you pull out the dirty filter, though!

Did somebody say oil change?

Always remember to top off your washer fluid when the hood is open. Not sure what the Clorox wipes are doing there - I never use them.

I use my free ones because honestly, they do a good job and it's free.

Oil - same as you or Mobil 1 - which I've been using in my other Jeep engines for years.

I go by how they are tested and rated, not what's popular or the in thing or peer pressure stuff.

lucky, they overtorqued mine and I had to get a new plug after attempting to get it out because it was stripped.

APPLICATIONS
Use AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil in applications
that require any of the following specifications:
0W-20 (ASM): API SP (Resource Conserving), SN PLUS, SN...; GM dexos1* Gen 3
(supersedes dexos1 Gen 2 and 6094M); ACEA A1/B1; Ford WSS-M2C947-B1, WSS-
M2C947-A, WSS-M2C962-A1; Chrysler MS-6395; ILSAC GF-6A, GF-5, GF-4

Be careful. None of that is saying it's actually certified to the MS-6395 standard. It's just AMSOIL's way of marketing it as something they deem "equivalent" in their own internal system. Stellantis will not recognize this as an acceptable oil for warranty purposes should something go wrong.

that's MS-6395 certified?

Can’t trust their data sheet. Ask the manufacturer if AMSOIL is in compliance. You might be shocked to learn it isn’t.

I didn't think it was, that's why I asked. I personally am not using anything that doesn't have that certification.

Mine is diesel, and I use the Pennzoil, even though I was never a big fan of Pennzoil, but it has the rating and says full syn. Filters I try to use Mopar products, but WIX gold, AMSOIL, and some others have good filters that probably mimic or are better than stock

I take full credit for turning this into another meme thread.

They used to use toilet paper rolls in some old canister filters. You can still buy a filter set up.
