PostHeaderIcon Changing the Jeep's Oil

After jacking it up and securing it on stands I slid underneath to discover a huge transfer case skid plate.  Removing it was a challenge since it had four bolts attaching it to the frame and I didn't want it to land on my face, so my chest was volunteered.  Next I loosened the oil drain bolt, placed my oil pan underneath and unscrewed the bolt by hand till what seemed like 10 gallons of oil came pouring out.  Removing the oil fill cap let the remaining oil drain out till I was able to remove the oil filter using a combination of swearing and cursing to remove it.  

Attaching the new oil filter was the first step, then tightening the drain bolt and finally measuring how much oil I took out gave me an idea of how much I had to put in, the full 7 quarts.  When I was finished putting the new Mobil 1 oil into the Jeep I started it up, checked the bolt and filter, and made sure the oil level was in the green. 

Disposing of used oil is the one thing Illinois does pretty good.  You just have to put it into either a clean container, or the containers of the new oil and take it to any repair shop that does oil changes.  They have to take the oil, add it into their stockpile and have it picked up by a recycling truck.  No additional cost to you. 

Overall it cost me about $40 bucks for Mobil 1 5w20 fully synthetic oil and filter, a far cry from the $95 you pay at some shop for the same service. 

Does anyone have a wix oil filter in their jeep wrangler?

I changed the oil in my 2003 Jeep Wrangler and replaced the mopar filter with a wix. The seals matched up but the overall filter is about twice the size, I am wondering if this is acceptable or if I need to get a new filter on there! As of right now I cant see that there is oil leaking from anywhere but I had to put in 7 quarts when the manual says I should only need 6. Thanks!
Ok awesome thanks peoples!


Yes, it's fine. I only use WIX filters as I've seen one too many Fram filters collapse. A few of my buddies choose to run WIX / Napa gold filters for a 5.0 mustang. It holds more oil and has a bigger filter for better particle removal.
