Is this how WOT is done?

[Jeep Junkie]

They say it is good for the health of the Pentastar if done occasionally, has to do with oil reaching some parts of the engine. Am I doing it properly? Don't worry, speed limit on I-90 is 70 mph.

My lil guy can take off despite 37s

Jackrabbit starts aren't anything I'd recommend.

Treating the vehicle with mechanical sympathy will go a long way in ensuring the long-term health of the powertrain.

And do give additional thought to the placement of that hi-lift jack.

Isn't the proper term WFO?

You probably need to start being mindful about driveshaft RPM with 4.88's at higher speeds.

Thanks for the heads up

The occasional wide open run is not going to hurt anything and is probably good for the engine.

the 3.6 is pretty durable in my experience. Unless you are running the heck out of it all day every day I doublt it would be a problem.

I run my ‘19 Sahara pretty hard, and it seems to be fine. It’s got the manual trans too

I have Adams Driveshaft, not stock one, so hopefully no damage was done.

Every engine needs to be run wide open once in awhile. It will go a long way towards preventing sludge and carbon deposits.

I always thought it was WOFT

WOT is somewhat good for the VVT System, but it can play havoc with timing chains and tensioners. So IMO...do the WOT, sparingly.

When I do it, I like to find a steep hill. It puts a load on the engine and doesn't require you to reach higher speeds.

But, I can drive 45 miles on be on a highway with an 80 or 85 MPH speed limit. A lot of people drive that fast around here anyway, there is next to no speed enforcement on our local highways.

My oil pressure reached a whopping 83 psi, sludge had no chance

That's how I pull out of my driveway every morning.

Got back home. Put some of that around my tires. Don't want my Pentastar's maternal warmth attract the rodents. Easiest vehicle for them to reach the engine.
