Viscosity

Viscosity is a measure of how easily oil flows. The higher the viscosity, the thicker the oil. Thicker oils are better at protecting your engine from wear and tear, but they can also make it harder to start your engine in cold weather. Thinner oils flow more easily, making them better for cold-weather starting, but they may not provide as much protection against wear and tear.

Oil Weight

Oil weight is a measure of the oil’s viscosity at a specific temperature. The most common oil weights are 5W-20, 5W-30, and 10W-40. The first number in the oil weight refers to the oil’s viscosity at 0 degrees Fahrenheit. The lower the number, the thinner the oil. The second number refers to the oil’s viscosity at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. The higher the number, the thicker the oil.

Synthetic vs. Conventional Oil

Synthetic oil is made from man-made chemicals, while conventional oil is made from refined crude oil. Synthetic oil is more expensive than conventional oil, but it offers a number of advantages, including:

Better protection against wear and tear
Improved fuel economy
Longer oil change intervals

Oil Change Intervals

The oil change interval for your 2010 Jeep Wrangler depends on the type of oil you use and your driving habits. If you use conventional oil, you should change it every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. If you use synthetic oil, you can extend the oil change interval to 7,500 to 10,000 miles.

Choosing the Right Oil for Your 2010 Jeep Wrangler

The best oil for your 2010 Jeep Wrangler depends on a number of factors, including your driving habits, the climate in which you live, and the age of your vehicle. If you are unsure which oil to choose, consult your owner’s manual or a qualified mechanic.
