What oil does a 1987 Jeep Comanche 2.1L Diesel Turbo take?<\/h2>\n

For the 1987 Jeep Comanche with the 2.1L 4-cylinder Engine Code [B] B Diesel Turbo, the recommended oil viscosity depends on ambient temperature: 10W-30 is used for -23 to 38\u00b0C, 15W-40 for above -7\u00b0C, 20W-40\/20W-50 for above -1\u00b0C, and 5W-30 for below 10\u00b0C. The oil capacity is 5.5 quarts with a filter change. AMSOIL recommends the Signature Series 10W-30 or 5W-30 Max-Duty Diesel Oil.<\/p>\n

Automatic Transmission Fluid (AW4) Details<\/h2>\n

How much transmission fluid does the AW4 require?<\/h3>\n

For the 4-speed AW4 automatic transmission, the total fill capacity is 8.5 quarts. If you are performing an initial fill, the required amount is 4.2 quarts.<\/p>\n

Maintenance Overview<\/h2>\n

Cooling System Maintenance<\/h3>\n

The cooling system has a capacity of 9 quarts. AMSOIL offers two primary options: a 50\/50 pre-mix ethylene glycol formulation (ANTPC1G-EA<\/a>) and a concentrated propylene glycol formulation (ANT1G-EA<\/a>) that requires mixing with distilled or high-quality water.<\/p>\n

Manual Transmission Details<\/h3>\n

For the AX5 (4WD) manual transmission, the required specification is GL-5 at all temperatures using 75W-90. Capacities vary between 7 pints and 7.4 pints depending on specific application details.<\/p>\n
