You may need a new flapper. Go easy on the chlorine whitener in the tank.

How do you fix noisy lifters on a 1995 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 liter?
If your engine is full of oil, drain off a quart of it. It's messy and you have to be quick or you might drain it all. With the engine a quart low add one quart of MARVEL MYSTERY OIL. Drive the car about a hundred miles, include some high speed highway miles. Now do a regular oil and filter change with HIGH QUALITY (NOT WAL-MART OR OTHER NO-NAME BRANDS) 5w30 oil. I prefer Castrol and Valvoline. This should quiet it down. If it does quiet down, change oil again at only 20,000 mile intervals for the next couple of changes going back to the recommended 10w30 oil.The marvel oil flushes caked-on deposits from your lifters as well as from the rest of your internal parts. If the Marvel oil doesn't help, you need to replace the hydraulic lifters.I wish you good luck.
How do you change the transmission fluid on a 4ltr strait 6 1996 jeep Cherokee 4x4?
Since it is so high mileage I think I would just pull the pan and change the 4-6 quarts that are in the pan and replace the filter. If you go to a place that flushes transmissions, I have known that with the new fluid the lining comes off of the fiber plates. . use atf+4 from Chrysler dealer or it destroys the clutches.
Car maintenance tips?
IntervalsHere is what I recommend for maintenance intervals. There are exceptions to all of these including severe duty, which most northern cars fall into.Change Transmission filter-30,000 miles, 90,000 and 150,000 miles and fluid at 60,000, 120,000 and 180,000 miles.Change oil every 3,000 miles or 3 months, unless you use Mobil One, in which case 6 months/6,000 miles.Chassis lube every 3,000 miles, assuming there are fittings.Spark plugs: Conventional plugs: 30,000 miles, Double platinum: every 50,000 miles (100,000 mile plugs are best to be changed well before that, although some can reach it).Fuel filter: 35,000-40,000 miles. Unless it is in the tank. But if the tank is ever dropped, do it thenIgnition cap, rotor, wires: 60,000-80,000 miles. (if it has them).Timing Belt, if applicible: 60,000 miles on many but check with gates or dayco or the manual or dealer, as many different intervals are now present.Coolant flush -- green: 2 years/24,000 miles.Coolant flush -- dex-cool or long life: 5 years/50,000 miles.Tire rotation: 5,000-8,000 miles.Alignment: 15,000-20,000 miles., unless tire wear is not a problem and car goes straight.Brake fluid flush and power steering fluid flush: 2 years or when dirty or discolored.Air filter, pcv valve and cabin air filter: as needed.Professional fuel injection service: 40,000 miles.Throttle bore plate cleaning: 20,000 miles.Air induction service: 20,000 miles.MaintenanceEvery auto manufacturer lists their required maintenance on their web sites and in the owners manual the maintenance service intervals vary between manufacturers.Your car is a moving piece of machinery, it needs maintenance, if you want this car to last you need to service it. Do not just do the minimum recommended services that are listed in you service manual. Make sure you service your cooling system which prolongs the life of the radiator and water pump, and the power steering system, which will extend the life of your cars power-seeking pump and gear box or rack. It will cost you much more than you want to spend when you fail to maintain your car and larger problems surface. I recommend that you review your owners manual and get acquainted with a reputable auto repair facility. A good relationship with you car and your car's mechanic will benefit you in the long run, providing you with a long lasting and safe car.At 30,000 miles you should also service your cooling system, transmission, fuel system and power steering; this should be repeated every 30k miles. I recommend flushes of the later mentioned items to prolong these systems' life span.Car careBasic car care can be simple and take only a short time to complete if you know what to do and look for.Check your oil every week by first starting the vehicle and letting it run for at least 30 seconds. This allows the oil to fill the oil filter and will give you a proper reading on your dipstick. Shut the engine off wait 2-5 min to allow the oil to settle, and pull the oil dipstick, wipe it clean and replace it in the dip stick tube. Pull it out a second time and check the level. Fill if needed, but do not over fill, and it's best to use the same weight of oil last used.Check your transmission every month by first pulling the transmission dipstick and checking if it requires the transmission to be in neutral or park. You can do this by reading the dip stick usually near the fill line. Start your vehicle and run it through the gears ending in the recommended gear, set the parking brake and pull the dipstick, clean it off and recheck it for a proper reading (remember that transmission fluid expands when hot). If the fluid is in the checked area do not add. If you do need to add fluid be sure to use the correct type recommended for your vehicle and again do not overfill.I recommend never pulling the cap off your brake fluid. Brake fluid draws moisture from the air and can contaminate the system. If you think there is a problem with your brakes, have them checked by a certified brake specialist. You should not need any fluid added to your brakes unless you have a problem such as a leak or the brakes need to be replaced. Most new vehicles have a sensor built into the brake system that lets you know if you need brake work, and this is activated by the amount of fluid in the reservoir. By adding fluid you can do more damage than good. (Make sure you know what fluid it takes dot 4 and dot 5 are not compatible. Cars with Anti-lock brakes should get there fluid flushed every couple years or every 30,000 miles. A $1500.00 ABS module that went bad from dirty fluid can be avoided)
