What oil are the Jeep Cherokee owners using?
My 3.2L V6 uses 5w20 dino oil, the 2.4L I4 uses 0w20 synthetic.
I think he was meaning to say Grand Cherokee not "Cherokee" IB. The GC can be ordered with the VM 3.0 diesel the Cherokee can not, not in the US/Canada anyway.
The 3.0 diesel uses oil meeting the ACEA-C3 specs. As Ninesbiker pointed out any oil listing the ACEA-C3 spec can be used in the VM 3.0 diesel engine.
Interesting enough I called Amsoil and talked to someone in their technical service department and was told that at this time Amsoil does not have a oil that meets the Chrysler MS-11106 specs!? But on their own website it states;
Manufacturer Approvals
BMW Longlife-04
MB-Approval 229.51
Porsche A40

* note the spec that supersedes the MB spec is not the CS-11106 spec. So is the CS-11106 the same as the MB-229.51 spec?
