Oil Changed

[Silent]

Ok, so I changed my oil and filter over to Mobil 1. Just curious, this is the first time I have used a syn, what are the normal oil pressures I need to look for. Never really knew them. I just know mine is always inbetween 2nd and 4th marks on my gauge. 95 XJ btw.

Hot idle: at least 13psi
Hot >1600rpm: at least 37psi

It sounds like your engine's in good shape.

Are there any books out there, besides my Chilton/Haynes book?

On another note as far as oils go, what tranny fluids, diff, and xfer case. Also grease for multipoints insp.

As far as books go - the FSM is the Bible, and it's available on CD-ROM. www.techauthority.com

I use Mopar Syn Diff fluid, Mobil 1 grease for Mopars, QState Tranny and same in xfer. Add 1 tube of LSD fluid to each diff and to the xfer. Never had any probs with any of them.

Uh...... why would you add friction modifier to a tcase? Wait..... do you have a 242? I doubt it'd do much good in a 231.

 

[Urban Redneck]

I don't know and I don't remember where I heard it, but I've never had any problems with it, so in it goes...

The Factory Manual is great. It does cost more than 100 bucks but mine is year model specific. I think the one i had for my 90XJ also covered MJs but it is very detailed. I'm planning to get one for my wife's Camaro. Don't know about downloading it. I like having the paper version personally. It's easier to flip through.

Got it a VatoZone, IIRC. It's red in a 2# tub.

Ok, some info I got while I was at lunch. Went to dealership, they want $53.75 for Mopar performance wire (that are 7.5mm) I thought they should be bigger. Anyhow, I was watching my oil pressure. This is what I got:
Temp: 210*-212*
Hot Idle - Oil pressure at 25-30 psi
Hot 1500 RPM - 50 psi

Any info that may help?

Like I said, your oil pressures are fine and your engine's in good shape.
Forget about the MP plug wires. Get a set of Magnecor 8.5mm units.

 

[Silent]

Ok, did a search. I put in my yr,model,make. And could not find any magnecores for my xj. Any ideas, or particular part numbers.

got any that go ALL-THE-WAY back to 1992? i didnt think that 92 was old enough to stop carrying books....

Still cannot find magenecore plug wires for jeep. Everyplace I have been, they do not make them. Any ideas on another brand, or part number for them.

Just go buy 20ft of the fattest cable you want, boots, clips, etc and make them yourself. Or just get the mopar HP wires and be done with it. They fit, are precut for the application, a bit less $$ than the oem ones.
