@Bill Yea I have a Wix filter on the Cherokee right now. Works great, supposed to be the same brand that Nascar uses.....never knew they used 4.0L engines in those things! :P
@Jmeyer Yep, I've used Rotella T for a number of years. My uncle suggested I use 15w40, so I gave it a try, and now I never use anything else. It isn't expensive either, only about $2.50 a quart. Synthetic costs like $5 a quart, in comparison. I get decent oil pressure with it too, about the middle of the gauge on my truck and 40-50psi on the Cherokee.
And I don't mean to dig up a dead horse, but what's the story on the Walmart thing?
EDIT: I don't recall ever seeing any sludge with Rotella T....should tell ya something.

599 GTB Fi0rano (F1 edition)
612 Scaglietti
Scuderia F430 and of course the new 458
I could NEVER, ever, pas up one of those 3 cars.
The GT40 is cool and all, don't get me wrong. But I could never let a Ferrari pass me by.
