Part #:
I used the JK for this one, but the older 4.0L in the LJ, TJ, etc.. is not very different. This is routine maintenance for your Jeep. Very simple and practically anyone can do it. Now there are a few advantages to taking it to a shop or the dealership to do. I would recommend the dealership over a local shop just for the simple fact that they use the (at last check) better oil filters and they get to see your Jeep more often and are sometimes easier to deal with for warranty work. Everyone has their choice in oil, I generally use Mobil 1 oil and a Mopar oil filter for the Jeep. If I don't have any of those I go with a Mobil 1 oil filter. I have been told that the Mobil 1 M1-209 is a higher capacity filter that fits the JK. I have not verified this.

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work. While I have spent many years working on mechanical systems, I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. I hope these write ups have been useful to you.
