New Jeep owner how soon can you use synthetic oils.

Well, until I see a spectroanalysis of both the factory fill and pennzoil platinum, I will assume the factory fill is simply that.
Also, one cannot have opinions about a fact, you can simply be right or wrong. Opinions are for subjective material.

Did you really believe this?

Keep the original factory-supplied oil in until the necessary time. The original oil is a “break-in” oil used to condition the metal of the engine block with extra additives.

I worked for Jeep for years and know what I’m saying is true.
Surprise, a negative response on a forum.
What knowledge do you offer to back up your interjection?... or are you a Troll?

What time frame and in what capacity?

And that right there tells you how well FCA dealerships train their staff about the products they sell.

6 quarts or 5?

Well I'll be damned. According to my buddy that's an engineer at one of the Japanese automakers doing engine testing, when asked about "break in oil" he said...

"no, the oil is regular oil, but the amount of moly that gets coated on parts during installation/construction "goes into" the oil and makes the break in compound"

And suggested leaving the factory fill until the first interval.

If that's their stance, I would assume FCA has similar processes and perspective.

A user has posted here oil analysis results over the life of the engine, the only outlier being heightened Molybdenum in the factory fill, likely due to anti-seize compounds. Zinc is not significantly higher at factory fill, as one would expect from a zinc based additive.

Sir, there are hundreds of links when you Google “engine break-in oil” for products called and advertised as engine break-in oil. You say it’s a myth with SUCH conviction that it’s confusing!

@Wabujitsu

I never said there was no such thing as engine break in oil..

I only stated that break in oil is not placed in the JL's 3.6 engine when assembled or at the plant. I won't go around and around on this but I know this for a fact..

Yes there is such a thing as break in oil. Was particularly popular years ago but not much at all now a days.

@Rubidozer

Yeah, I am a troll .... 8-) and know you are wrong about break in engine oil being put in at engine assembly time. Pure BS. I'm sure some here will believe you.

Everyone is full of shit except you. Must be comforting to know you’re the only one that‘S got all the answers. If someone disagrees with you they are liars according to you.

Again, you cannot disagree about facts, you can only be right or wrong.
