With all the DFM lifter issues, I'm hoping keeping fresh quality oil in will keep me safe from one going bad. You don' have that issue.
I read some where that by using a thicker oil it was taking care of that problem. :dunno:

No, thicker isn't better. It's an old myth that keeps going around. GM went with a thicker oil on the recalled 6.2's because of out of tolerance rod end's. The lifter issue is also part bad quality used lifters and those that don't change their oil like they should.

Here is mine on my 2022 Jeep Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This oil change is with AMSOIL's DEO 5w-40 Signature Series, the previous one was with AMSOIL's European 5w-40 FS oil and before that was what ever the dealer put in before I purchased the Jeep. This sample was just shy of 5k. Ecoguard oil filter was used and put another one on. It seems to be the go to filter for those in the Ecodiesel world, at least on the Wrangler side and for the Gen 3 Ecodiesel.

Jeep Wrangler Ecodiesel
Total miles: 53693
Oil miles: 4580
Oil filter: Ecoguard
BP Diesel for the most part with Archoil, trying it to see if there is a difference between it and AMSOIL's Diesel Injector Clean with Cetane Boost. So far I can't see a difference.

I sold my Cruze diesel and got a 2022 Wrangler Ecodiesel back in Nov 2024. Wife loves Jeeps and got one herself and said I could get one but had to sell the Cruze. Which was ok since it didn't do well getting Hunter and her wheel chair in it. The Jeep fits the chair nicely and Hunter loves ridding with the top open.
