Oil is oil, if it meets standards use it. Changing it regularly is more important than the name on the front.

THIS IS A FALSE STATEMENT. PLEASE IGNORE THIS IDIOT'S WORDS. YOU MUST USE AMSOIL.

They are the same people that buy AEV stuff and claim its the superior product because its more expensive.

You're do realize you're talking about the same manufacturer that says the transmission fluid never needs to be changed, right? It's not just engineers and OEM's coming up with these specifications. Bean counters have a lot of influence too.
Took me a while to realize this but seems to me that Jeep only builds to hit sales volumes at specific warranty fulfillment targets and CAFE standards. Anything that crashes at +1 mile or +1 day after warranty expiration is no problem for Stellantis. Anything that eeks out 0.001MPG with added costs that do not impact sales volumes are great. Anything that adds to maintenance costs while not compromising the warranty is nixed, even if the maintenance prolongs long term life of the vehicle.

The old school philosophy of over-building things is now a thing of the past.
