Oil 10W30 Mobile 1 or Royal Purple
filter Wix
every 12 months or 5K which ever is first ,trail mostly rig
Air filter K&N drop in so I just clean it
difs never have ,put the locker in the front then 3K or so later put a hole in the cover
good time to change the oil after break in
rear about the same but after 1K on locker I put a HD cover on then 200 later
did not like the HD cover rubbing so back to oem
Trans once when it had about 8-10K and I was going to be installing the skid so I figured "change the fluid now so you will be good for about 10 years"
Transfer case after about 35K I put on the SYE so the fluid got changed
Radiator about 45K replace shroud ,fan clutch, water pump and t-stat oh and coolant
freon about 40K had a hose come loose so refilled that
power steering ? probably never
break fluid rebuilt the rear breaks and flushed out most of he fluid ,I will get the rest when I change the break lines in a few months

so in short
syn 10W30 once a year
every thing else when I up grade or it breaks

I'm watching my odometer just about weekly and thinking about when services are coming up:

Mobile 1 Synthetic 5W30
Change every 3k
Filter - Mobil 1
Air filter - Amsoil cleaned as needed
Auto ****** - flushed when I bought at 42k, flushing again at 60k with filter change. 15k intervals after that (also do TC at same time)
Diffs: yearly/15k, though I'm going to do an extra drain and fill on the front this year, maybe 2, to clean it. Rear is cleaned each time with brake cleaner.

Carquest Dino or Syn 5w-30 every 5K miles, depends on my mood and cash flow at the time...:)
Wix Filter (Carquest labeled)
Right now whatever air filter is in it...probably get an Amsoil EA filter when it needs changed
Trans - I'm new to the Jeep, but usually do 60K fluid and filter changes
Diffs - Doing them this weekend, but again since I'm new to the Jeep, I guess I'll be doing them at least every 30K....I can pretend I'll do it every 15K but that seems excessive to me.

Fram air filter every 15000 (or so-- don't live in dirty climate)
42rle (whatever dealer put in it). Probably needs to be flushed with filter change.
Diffs/TCase: Yearly.
Driver: Lubricated with Crown on the rocks. (not while driving, of course)

Oil- Castrol 5w20 synthetic
Filter- K&N Gold oil filter
Factory change interval is 6 months, 6,000 miles
It is changed every 6 months, which comes to approx. 2100 miles(don't drive much)
Air filter- K&N drop in
Front diff- Mopar 75w140 full synthetic
Rear diff- Mopar 75w140 full synthetic
Change out every 15,000 miles
Transmission- Mopar ATF+4 & filter
T-case- Mopar ATF+4
Change every 15,000 miles


The best thing is that I get all the free ATF+4, trans pan sealant, and 75w140 that I want, so it will be changed often.
Right now, I've owned my 08 KK for 10 months, and just hit 4,500 miles on it.
