Its also interesting to note that the E series engine is a 25 year old design and in all but the JK ran higher viscosity oil. The change "somehow" coincided with the introduction of the CAFE fuel economy legislation.

They also weren't noted for high oil consumption.... which isn't the case now.

Does give you something to think about doesn't it ?
