I know our 3.7 is 5 quarts. however I'm changing my girlfriends and I saw somewhere it was 6 quarts. this is on a 200 GC with the 4.0. Is 6 right? I know we've got alot of XJ fans on here

I think it is 6 but it has been 8 or 9 months since I last changed my oil in the TJ so I could be wrong

royal purple ,wix filter once a year need it or not

then again I only drive maybe 3-5K a year so no big deal

3.7 is 5.5 qts...at least it has been for the last 50,000 miles on my KJ...

IIRC the 4.0 is 5.5 too.

6 is what I always use in my Cherokee 4.0

I usually get between 5.5 and 6 in my XJs.

5.5 in mine, if i use the extra large ph8a (5.0L mustang filter), it then takes 6 quarts. mike

6 quarts for the old straight six Jeep Cherokee. (former owner 96-04, 1996 Cherokee).

I recently parted with my '93 XJ, and yes, it is 6 qt capacity.

My LJ with the 4.0 I6 uses 6 quarts of oil. The last time I changed it I had only bought 5 quarts originally. Then after it was drained and refilled, I double checked my owners manual and it said six quarts. So I had to take the wifes car to the parts store to get another quart.

Our 4.0's both take 6 quarts with a oil/filter change.

My 3.7l takes 5quarts but it always reads a tick high on the dip stick if I put a full 5 quarts in.
