Any name brand oil will do, but synthetic oils are better. Generally summer it is 10w30 and winter 5w30 for new cars and 10w40/10w30 for high mileage cars.

What is the best oil to use for a 2000 jeep grand Cherokee that does a lot of towing?

Personally I have had good luck using Rotella Synthetic 5w40 in my fiance's 4.0L Grand Cherokee. I don't do any towing, but I have yet to use a drop of oil in 5000 miles. This is on an engine with 100,000 miles and we purchased at ~83,000 miles. 5w40 may not be needed, but these engines (4.0L) do like a thicker oil. 10w30 is the recommended weight down to 0*F (for the 4.0L) and any 10w30 (regular or synthetic) will work well. Today's oils are extremely advanced and will protect well.
