I spilled oil under the hood of the jeep on top of the motor I tried leaving it dry for 12 hours and I also tried wiping it off with a clean cloth. Now the jeep seems like its running on 4 or 5 cylinders instead of 6 and its jumpy and shaky and when you put it in gear it doesn't want to stay running its hopping

Try using a car wash on it, you probably got the wires wet with oil and plug and it needs to run a while to clear it up.

I SORTA THOUGHT THIS WAS A FORD ESCAPE?

NOW "JEEP" IS MENTIONED IN THE POST.A "REAL JEEP" WOULD NEVER LET YOU DOWN LIKE THAT!

SORTA WHERE DID YOU SPILL THE OIL?

HOW MUCH DID YOU SPILL?

WHERE ON THE ENGINE DID YOU SPILL IT?

YOU CAN POINT AT THE AREAS AND SEND US SOME PICS MAYBE?

COOL THING HERE IS I HAVE 2 JEEPS (MY BABIES AND DAILY DRIVERS), A FORD TRUCK, A PLYMOUTH NEON (SPARES, WHEN NEEDED) AND THE WIFEY HAS A FORD ESCAPE W/ 3.0L.I'LL BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT YOU SEE
