What temperature is considered operating temperature?

[Jeep Junkie]

Guys, I'm thinking of starting a side gig, changing oil on people's Jeeps infront of their homes. My expertise is in the 3.6 L Pentastor V6.

Are you sure that thing is safe without a skid plate?

Every 500 miles three times a year will rock. Filter can stay. Get this as Christmas gift for the girl

$68 dollars seems a tad high.

Isn't this the same oil?

$22.99 for 5 qts, I might order one myself. I'll have enough for the next 3 years.

It's not safe on my 392's aluminum pan without a skid, it's too low. Used one for several years without skids on my 2.0 Turbo though. There was plenty of room for it to be safe, imo.

It was nice being able to just stick the hose in an old oil jug and twist the quick disconnect.

392's oil pan is aluminum?

There are two versions of the 392 pan. Early pans are aluminum, later pans are steel. Mine is aluminum, they hang way down, and the damn drain plug is on the bottom pointing straight down.

Wow, that's so crazy low. So that's what they came up with to fit 8 quarts of oil.

The steel version features an addition 1.5 inches of clearance compared to the AL. The 2.0 has a lot more clearance.

I will come in my Jeep with all my tools. Give me a chance!

There is a guy who has a niche jeep business that services NYC. His guys will come to your house, swap your jeep top from hard top to soft top (and vice versa), and then his guys will take your hard top / soft top back to his storage facility for the season. When the season ends, you give them a call and they swap you back again. I forget what the price was, but if I recall correctly it was between $500 and $800 a year and the guy stayed busy.
