Hope this helps someone with a Jeep JK.

Hello all,
I have a low mile Jeep JK.2010. Now that the temps are cold, I got, Tick, tick, tick and gone on startup. Even using a good brand of synthetic oil. So, I wrote in to one of the Jeep forums that I am a member of. Asking our brothers, to the North of us, what oils do they run in Canada? Got back a couple of the same suggestions to go with a Nappa oil filter #41516, and to use Amsoil 5wt.-30 XL oil. I just want to pass on that this did work in my Jeep. I had even people with both the 3.8 and 3.6 motors having the same trouble and when this was used stop the lifters ticking at startup. Maybe, it was more the filter with the antidrain back valve, that did the trick? But, I did go with the oil as it is good oil any way. The oil was not cheap! But is good for 10,000 miles between oil changes. And again, so far, no more tick, tick, tick and gone at startup! Vance.

Not to scare you but something to watch for. I had a 2008 2 door with the 3.8. At about 60K the chronic Ticking became louder and it started to drink oil. I only ran Synthetic in it from the second oil change. At about 75K I traded it in due to a spun bearing. By then I was using about a quart in a half to 2 quarts per 4000 miles. It seemed the older models 07-09 seemed to have this problem more. Keep an eye on it.
