Tired of Reading the SAME Thing.. so here are some answers
Use synthetic oil or don't.
5w-20 is what it says in the book.
BOTH oil types can be used beyond a 3000 mile interval.
If you don't want to run it longer, then don't.
If you change your syth-oil EVERY 3000, you are wasting money.
Conversely, if you change "dino-juice" EVERY 3000, youre not "saving" any either.
COMMON STATEMENT
"I will have a paper trail of my service in case of warranty issues".
Oh yeah? Most receipts are printed on thermographic papers. The others are unprotected ink on acid based papers.
After a year or two you will have a collection of mostly blank paper. Unless you keep a humidor in your glove box.
and
Stop asking "what other people are running" half way through a thread. They have already told you. Maybe you haven't gotten the answer you "really want" yet. In that case do exactly what you want, and when someone else asks the same question again, throw in your ".02". At least then you'll have an opinion.
And don't say you looked but you can't find it. There isn't a question about a JK you could think of that hasn't already been covered 3 times. LOOK HARDER.
Yes I have wondered about all of these simple questions. Thats why I looked them up. And i do find my information through the trials of others on this board. I like it. But DAMN, If i see another 35th post on a "what oil do you use" thread asking if it's OK to use 5w-30 instead....

Funny you mention that about the receipt paper - that is so true - you fold them and tuck them away and the next time you look you can't read a thing. Maybe it is worth scanning and saving as PDFs for storage...
