I installed this on my 2000 Wrangler 4.0L. In order to fit TJ model 242's, you have to clearance the pan in two locations. One at the bottom of the sump and the other where the pump mounts, the pan sort of bulges out. It only required about 1/4" additional clearance which I was able to get using a ball peen hammer and just hitting in those two locations for a little while. Great high quality pump, don't look anywhere else if you need a high volume oil pump.

Works as it should and oil everything much better than the stock pump I had in my Jeep Cherokee. If your looking for a high flow oil pump; look no further.

Though the product description indicates a one-gallon package size, the container I received is four liters. That makes it a slightly better deal since four liters is more.

Smokeless and excellent lubrication for my Vespa motor scooter. The green color is easily visible in the sight-glass for checking the remaining level in the tank. I highly recommend this oil based on experience and research.

I didn't have any differential problems or noises that I know of in my '98 BMW 323is, but at 137,000 miles and not changed for at least 100k miles I figured I'd do this and the manual trans fluid. I'll review the trans fluid there (Royal Purple Synchromax) since that made a huge difference. My car runs much quieter and smoother after the fluid changes. I can not really tell if this oil made a difference in the differential since I did several changes at once but it definitely didn't make things worse. The old differential oil came out completely clear and was as much fluid as expected so I'm pretty sure things have been running as expected back there.

After I had already ordered this I found that some BMW owners run Mobil 1 gear oil in the differential since it is said to run cooler there than RP or Redline oil. So I could have saved several dollars per quart and maybe gotten better performance, but I don't drive the car hard so this will do just fine. 5 stars since my car is running so much better that I'll give some credit to this oil.

Update 06/2012 Several tanks of gas later and my MPG is higher. Since I replaced the trans fluid and this at the same time, not sure which or if both made the difference. Really improved the highway MPG, and it just did 32.09 MPG, doing the relatively flat round trip Los Angeles to Palm Springs plus some other mainly highway driving. My car has been getting 23 to 24 for the last two years and maybe 25 to 26 before that. I've only hit 32 mpg once before in August 2009, and have had only 6 tanks of gas get over 30 mpg in the almost 12 years I've owned the car. Stop and go driving is just slightly higher than before though as the prior three tanks of gas were 23.03 mpg, 27.38 mpg, 24.99 mpg.

Recently replaced all the oil in my front dif/rear diff/ and transfer case on an 07 Tundra. Went from Mobile1 to this, and noticed a slight improvement in noise.

I'd use this again.

I purchased this product to change the differential fluid in my 1970 International Scout. It contains the additive required for the limited slip differential, so that is a bonus.

Sure, there are cheaper oils you can buy for a differential. But from what I have been reading, this stuff is very good and will last much longer than regular "dinosaur" (non-synthetic oil) and will flow at lower temperatures.

I have only done one of the two diff's so far, the rear one, but there already seems to be a slight bit more "grunt" to my tired Scout (an engine rebuild is in the works). I also live in Minnesota, and found my manual transmission, transfer case, and both differentials very "gooey" when the temperature dips down to below freezing. I suspect that this will help somewhat.

On another note, I drained and replaced the fluid in my trans/transfer case with a Castrol "full-synthetic" 5w-50 motor oil, and wow what a difference there! Easier shifts, and much quieter than before. Many think you need to put in a heavy weight oil in these on a truck, but actually many use 50 weight motor oil or standard ATF in their manual transmissions now.

Excellent oil. I use it for 2008 E350-4matic. WallMart carries Mobile 1 0W40 for $6.47/Qt. it is cheaper than Amazon and any where else.

Mobil 1 0w40 has always been one of the premier products from Mobil 1. Mobil 1 0w40 is not "just," a another viscosity. Mobil 1 0w40 European Car Formula is actually different from other viscosities of Mobil 1 in more ways than just its weight.

I often will run oil analysis on oil that comes from my cars, or even on a new bottle of oil, just to see its composition.

Mobil 1 0w40 has more additives in it than say one of the more common viscosities like 5w30.

The reason being is that this 0w40 product is recommended or approved by many European manufacturers who have stringent standards. Indeed, some of these manufacturers do not only require specific performance requirements for this oil, but will actually specify where the additives packages must be purchased from. Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and BMW are just some of the manufacturers who have approvals on this oil.

Furthermore, all AMG vehicles and Porsches come from the factory with this very 0w40 Mobil 1. It is even used in some racing vehicles around the world.

Mobil 1 does not just meet specifications, but tends to exceed those specs.

Some might argue that Mobil 1 has changed its formula a lot over the years. However, one thing is clear. Mobil 1 0w40 is a quality product, approved by some of the most stringent manufacturer specifications, and it is the same formula found around the world.

Amazon has great opportunities to have this oil delivered to your door. There are often rebates available on the product.

It's a proven product. Recommended.

I am a Audi Mechanic and we use this in everything. The extra cost to put any type of Mobil synthetic is about 15-20 dollars an oil change but with synthetic you can run the oil much longer and still be properly protected! I have seen regular or organic oil wreak havoc on Audi's engines because they break down so fast. Do yourself a favor and always run synthetic oils in every car you have!

This oil is a great oil. Mobil 1 0W40 is better than Valvoline Synpower 5w40 MST because it also Meets BMW Longlife 01 including to that it also meets Mercedes MB 229.5, Porsche A40, Porsche Approval List 2002, VW 502.00/505.00/503.01

Great oil lousy price.

Same 5 qts from Walmart is just $22.47 plus tax.

The convenience of front door delivery isn't worth another $25.

Factory recommended. No its not the least expensive but it is one of the best.

Sure you could run Rotella or whatever but I have had zero issue with wear, shifting

or clutch action. I have yet to find better deals on the 4 liter jug anywhere online.
