1) I changed the oil in my 2000 the other day for the first time since I bought it. I put the full 6 quarts of Valvoline 10w-30 in it and know I seem to be hearing a noise similar to a Diesel. I do not know what the previous owner used for wieght. I see no problem with oil pressure or performance. It runs, start and drives absolutely great. I don't remember the sound before the oil change. I got under it while it was running and it seems to be coming from the rear main seal area.
I have read other threads here that talks about thicker oil taking the diesel out of the 4.0's. Is this a noise that is common to Cherokees?
2) I live in the high desert of California. What oil should I use? I run the same Valvoline in my 87.
