    Trying to figure out best oil...

    Okay. Wow, that was more confusing than I thought for just oil...but glad I asked. I think I will stick with conventional just because I don't want anything to happen from the synthetic.

    Trying to figure out best oil...

    Okay, so that isn't the same as the conventional stuff I typically get for my other cars. Never really gave it a second thought. So would the blend be recommended in an engine that you don't know how it has been maintained in the past?

    Trying to figure out best oil...

    I've never thought about it before, but is the basic, every day oil that is on the shelves a blended or is a blended oil different? I know full synthetic would say it on the bottle...but is blended the same thing or is it another category?

    Thump when coming to a stop

    Well it's good to hear it's one less thing to worry about. My fiance loves her jeep and every weird noise, sound or feeling she gets freaked out about.

    Trying to figure out best oil...

    Okay, I'll try the same...and as far as I can tell no oil leak/burning. Do they have the high mileage for the gtx synth blend? ps...thanks for your help!

    Trying to figure out best oil...

    Okay, I'll look at that too just to remind myself. I will aim for Valvolne or GTX synthetic blend 5w30 with the Napa Gold filter

    Trying to figure out best oil...

    Okay...and 5w30 is recommended for these engines? I'm in New England, so the temp can vary all year from freezing to really hot.

    Trying to figure out best oil...

    I mean first oil change on this jeep that I have done. I am assuming the previous owner did them seeing as how it has 94k miles lol. I have done them on my other cars, just not the Jeep yet. Would full synthetic cause any problems not knowing what past oils have been used? You edited before...

    Trying to figure out best oil...

    I've looked thru a bunch of posts about what oil to use and I'm still confused. This will be my first oil change since getting the Jeep (03 sport) and not sure what they have previously used in it. Some have said they only use synthetic, others say not to on higher mileage engines (this has...

    Thump when coming to a stop

    How loud should that rapid clicking be? I noticed it the other day and made me think of this post again. Same symptoms as ~Mark. It was pretty loud...I don't think it happens all the time, but I've heard it several times in the past few months on and off.

    Another weird sound/feeling

    what would I even be looking for? Haven't done much work on the Jeep yet, it's fairly new to me.

    Another weird sound/feeling

    perhaps the Driveshaft vibration damper...not that I know what that is...but might have something to do with the driveshaft considering its there when I accelerate.

    Another weird sound/feeling

    I have kind of felt/heard this in the past few weeks but this past weekend it was more noticeable. Mostly when accelerating up a hill, steep or gradual, there was a reverberation sound coming from under the floor. I could feel the vibration in the floor and the gas petal and you could feel it...

    HELP! Can't get rear rotors off...

    Okay...Finally got the freakin' rotor off. After about 2 hours my neighbor let me borrow a crow bar and heavier hammer and it eventually got pounded off. The e-brake was just putting so much pressure outward on the rotor it wouldn't let it just slide off. Luckily the other side was easier and...

    HELP! Can't get rear rotors off...

    Ok that makes sense, but the e-brake was off when I was doing all this. Is there anything else I can try?

    HELP! Can't get rear rotors off...

    It is a little rusted, but usually liquid wrench and wd-40 take care of that. This one didn't have any of those clips. Does it make a difference if the E-brake is on or off?

    HELP! Can't get rear rotors off...

    For the life of me, I can't get the rear rotors off. Taking the wheels, brakes, calipers off was simple, but the rotor won't budge. I tried a hammer, pry bar, wd-40...EVERYTHING...and it won't budge. Does anyone have any idea how to get it off?
