A week ago, I ordered the newly redesigned Jeep Wrangler with a 3.6 liter "updated" Pentastar and a manual transmission.
The owner's guide leaked a few weeks ago and it specifies 0W/20 motor oil. What's the BITOG feeling about the best 0W20 oils these days? If I had to choose right now, I'd look at either PPU 0W20, or Mobil 1 EP 0W20.
Also, I'm assuming this engine will have a cartridge oil filter. On my 08 JK and other vehicles with spin-on filters, I've been happily running Fram Ultra Guard filters, and change them every other OCI. (In the JK, I'm tempted to go 3 6,000 mile OCI's with them.) If it uses a cartridge, what are some good options?]
Any 2016 Grand Cherokee owners out there with this engine? How do you like it? Anything to watch for?
I'll probably do an oil analysis around the 3rd or 4th oil change on this thing, which will be a good while from now. I'm not expecting delivery until sometime in January, and I won't pile the miles on it very quickly, as I'll run the old JK more during winter months.
