And the CRD 3.0TDV6 in the WH Cherokee takes Penrite 10W40 (however when new 5W30).
You will have conformance recommendations, and I would run a high quality oil that meets those requirements. If your engine is new, go the 5W30 or 5W40. If it has 100,000klms or more, go with 10W40. I prefer Penrite Extra10 for a good alround quality oil but if my engine was new, I would use Mobile 1, Castrol Edge sport, Nulon and other premium full synthetic oils.

I've got a 2007 2.8CRD in UK
Been using 5W-30 & for the last year 0W-40 which meets the recommendation of whats in the hand book
Now got 73,000 miles (117,000km) on it and now thinks a 10w-40 or 50 would be more beneficial
Apparently the VM Mortori manual for RE428JK7 / RS428JK7.05A - EU4 engines states
-Viscosity grade:SAE 10W-40
-Specifications: ACEA E6
I change it every 6,000 miles (9600kms) anyway so I dont suppose it matters what goes into it
Would be interested in the thoughts of those more knowledgeable on this as I've got an oil change coming up ... thanks
