Do these have stop start? Is oil feed thru centre bearing ? Maybe front main last to see oil and many using thinnest oil grade ?Dealers are doing shed loads of them, no patten, 10.000 miles or 50.000 miles, they just start knocking!!
That’s what I do with my om642 engine as wellWhen I change the oil on mine I put half of the oil in through the filler cap and the other half goes in the oil filter casing , this is recommended on Jeep forum to do it this way.
Didn't know that.That’s what I do with my om642 engine as well
Thank you I will have a look into the link.The oil filter canister /mount is at the top of the engine , therefore there is minimal oil pressure until the filter is full.
Here is a thread from a Jeep forum , bit of an argument going on during it but about half way through the reason for filling this way is explained.
You mention 4 litres x2 so your engine only uses 8 total ? , 642 in my Jeep takes 9.5 and Jeep now recommend to use 5/40 instead of the recommended 5/30Finished First oil change, 08 CRD Grand - JeepForum.com
I just finished my first oil change on the 08 CRD Grand Cherokee. I had the correct oil and followed instructions from others on this forum. Here arewww.jeepforum.com
I heard one of the Indy’s mention it a few years ago , not sure of the exact reasonDidn't know that.
What reason would be to suggest pouring 4litres from the filler and other 4litres through filter housing?
I can understand to suggest for example 1lt through filter housing but half the quantity?
Please advise
