X2 Best oil to use with non roller lifters, most all other auto oils don't have the proper additives.

get rid of the quaker state pond scum and put some high milage castrol and a bottle of lucas oil stqabilizer in it. to heavy an oil in a worn engine cause flow issues and still show better pressure while bypassing smaller ports. just my opinion but most of my vehicles made the 250,000 mark without missing a beat 4.0l,5.2l, 5.9l, 5.7l and honda 1.7l.

Not much done to the jeep besides cleaning it and I added a new shifter boot and knob, aswell as a new air filter to re-claim some space under the hood.

So as of tonight I offically hate my jeep. I got the new springs in, the drivers side LCA out all the old shocks off, and the front bolt of the passenger side LCA out. The other bolt is ceased solid into the bushing, but i ended up having to cut the nut and threads off of it But i still cant beat it through and The spot is too tight on the back side to get a grinder in, and in all of this mess my axle shifted to the drivers side and the passenger side of the axle is back farther than the front, So I decided to try and pull it ahead to atleast put the old LCAs back in and take the jeep to the shop down the road to replace them. Nope, the come along i was using got jammed against the bumper so it wont turn to let the axle fall back again. and well yea I'm royally pissed. [LCA isnt on in this pic, its just stuck in place like that.] So any ideas? or mobile mechanics around Sydney that wanna come do it for me? lol Also keep in mind I have next to no tools, just a simple ratchet set, a grinder, and a electric impact. since every time I get decent tools they go missing overnight. like my mini air compressor, 2 jacks, a bunch of air tools, and a welder. I've since put a new lock on the garage and lock my toolbox.

Some better pics of the new lift installed in the jeep :3 Couldent really take a whole bunch since i've got the flu really bad. I still have to hook my sway bar back up, change my rear shocks, buy an adjustable track bar, put on my 31"s , and go pick up my roof basket.
