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?

It's my understanding that you need a motor oil with a 800 ppm or less SAPS rating, to protect ash content buildup in non rebuildable DPF filters. If you go into manufacturer spec sheets, you can almost always find this spec. One of them, Total or Motul or is rated at 700 ppm SAPS, I believe.
