Because I'm an Amsoil dealer, I was trying to stick with something I could get for a good price. _________________________ 1997 Honda Civic EX Castrol GTX 10w30 Mobil Multi Vehicle 2006 Mazda 3 2.3 Castrol Syntec 5w20, Mobil Multi Vehicle.

Best: Delvac 1 Great: Mobil 1 TDT Good: Shell Rotella T x2. the 4.0L will run happily on just about anything, but seems to be the happiest on a heavy duty oil. whatever you do, change it regularly and i guarantee that motor will outlast the rest of the Heep _________________________ Political signature removed.

rraiderr Registered: 11/26/06 Posts: 95 Loc: Dante's Inferno	I am currently running the Amsoil Signature Series 0W-30 100% Synthetic Motor Oil in my Jeep's 4.0 as I wanted to give it a try. I have run both the Amsoil 10W30 & 5W30 for several Northern winters with no issues. To be honest I could not tell any difference when cold starting on the below 0 days. I think I will stick with the Amsoil Signature Series 0W-30.
