conventional

 

Wal-Mart supertec full syn. 5/20 .....

 

I use that in my 1999 Sonoma pickup with 163k miles..good stuff.

 

I dont use synthetic oil in anything I own.

 

Pennzoil Platinum, or Motomaster Formula 1 full syn 5-w20.

 

Pennzoil Ultra (Called something else) and Castrol Syntec (called something else now too...)

 

Amsoil, I put it in everything I own. Works awesome.

 

Valvoline full synth. Its the one with a 300,000 mile engine guarantee. Seems like my other ride a 2007 xterra 4.0 prefers it as well.

 

Honestly, whatever I find on sale or on clearance. (I see no reason to pay full price for oil) Right now I've got o'reilly's 5w20 in. I've used Pennzoil and Quaker State before and have a few jugs of 0w20 left over for the next few winters. Based on price I like Quaker State.

 

Don't lose any sleep over this. The Patriot engine is probably the most reliable aspect of this vehicle and any API certified oil changed at a reasonable interval will result in the engine lasting longer than the rest of the vehicle. Even the Walmart SuperTech will get you there.

Pennzoil Platinum is what "moves" me. It has a great base oil, additive package, and specifications. It's Noack Volatility is exceptional.

But really, follow my advice in my first paragraph. Pick one based on what color container you like best.

 

Yeah pretty much any synthetic oil changed at 5k intervals is going to be good. Amsoil, I hear, is the best, but any name brand synthetic that meets API is going to be sufficient. I usually buy Napa oil.

I run Amsoil in my Patriot.

 

jd, The engineers that built and designed your car recommends oil changes (unless under severe duty) for the Patriot should occur between 5,000 - 7,500 miles with conventional oil. All you are doing is wasting money and oil if changing it sooner. http://www.jeep.com/download/pdf/ug/2014-Patriot-UG-3rd.pdf?myyear_ug=19

You can easily extend this by going to synthetic as well as getting added engine protection. My Mercedes Benz recommends 10,000 miles on Mobil 1 ....things have changed and you no longer have to listen to those incorrect oil myths of the 1970's.

I agree, unless you're towing which our Patriots can't do much of, then changing conventional oil every 5-6,000 will make your engine last fine. I go with 5,000 mile changes and have for years and I've had several engines go 200,000 with that practice.

 

Amsoil Signature Series 5w20.


In the past I ran Valvoline Full Syn, Pennzoil Platinum, and Royal Purple. They were all pretty good too. Amsoil is my favorite though for it's toughness and long life.

 

I use Mobil 1 EP, and get very good results, UOA's are excellent.

 

Last engine was a 2.7L DOHC Hyundai Delta engine which went to 220,000 when I sold it. Lots of things were an issue on that car over the years however the engine was still solid with great compression when I sold it after running Castrol syntec for a decade every 5,000 miles.

 

The manual recommends an SAE API certified 5w-20 Penzoil or Helix. I use Penzoil Pure Platinum Plus. 50,000 km and seems good enough

 

Hi all. Sorry if this question has been asked and answered somewhere else.
I have a new 2010 Jeep Patriot Sport 2.4 engine 4x4. I am new to Jeeps, and I try to do most of my work, as both my wife and I don't work anymore, and the most extended trip is seldom not any longer than 1/2 an hour each way in the city, with some speeds getting up to 45 mph, we don't drive very much anymore.
I want to try using a full syntactic motor oil. I had thought that I had read, NOT to use Mobil 1, a full syntactic motor oil, this is what I had used in different cars. If this is not recommended then tell me what is a preferred full syntactic motor oil for use in Ohio for short trip city driving on an engine with 136.000 miles on it, and also should I use the factory recommended oil filter?
Thank you for all your help. Dennis

 

IIRC, the issue with Mobil 1 was that it isn't Chrysler MS-6395 certified. I think it did have it at one point but for some reason it got dropped, don't remember why. Not really a big deal unless you have engine problems and need to make a claim under warranty.

I've used Mobil 1 extended 5w-30 for several years now, haven't had any problems.

 

At least now I know why Mobil 1 is not allowed, thank you for your input, but as I have not bought any or made my decision on which full syntactic motor oil to use I will keep looking for a 5W20 top-rated full syntactic motor oil to use in Ohio. Thank you all Dennis

 

You're welcome Dennis.

Don't know if this will help, but Mobil Super Synthetic is Chrysler MS-6395 certified.

Not that I know of, but I'm sure there's one around somewhere.

IIRC, M1 dropped the certification when the spec was changed to require 2 years of field study.

I could be wrong, but from all I've read about it (and mostly forgot) I don't think using M1 is a problem.

Mobil 1 and Chrysler MS-6395 requirements

I noticed when I changed my oil that Mobil 1 and Mobil 1 Extended Performance no longer state on the package that they meet Chrysler MS-6395 warranty requirements. I noticed that the Pennzoil line does state they meet that requirement. I spoke with my dealer and they did advise that if the...

MS 6395 -- What oils meet it?

I searched this spec. but found nothing on it. Wife's new Pacifica (4.0L V6) requires this MS 6395 spec. I have a garage full of SM rated Quaker State dino, Havoline dino (old recipe), Valvoline DuraBlend, as well as two varities of Quaker State synthetic. Only one (one of the Q.S. synthtics)...
