What is the recommended oil viscosity for a 2002 Jeep 4.0 liter engine?

The recommended oil viscosity for a 2002 Jeep 4.0L engine depends on the climate where you live. The owner's manual will be the definitive source, but generally:

* For moderate climates: 5W-30 is usually recommended.

* For hotter climates: 10W-30 might be preferable.

* For colder climates: 5W-20 might be suitable, but check your owner's manual as some 2002 models might not explicitly recommend it. Using a 0W-30 in extremely cold climates could also be considered.

Always consult your owner's manual for the specific recommendation for your vehicle. The manual will detail the viscosity grades approved by Jeep for optimal performance and engine protection. Using the wrong viscosity can negatively impact engine performance and longevity.
