Several of you have mentioned you switched to Mobil Synthetic oil. When did you change over from factory recommended oil?
I have to have it requested so my first change was with Pennzoil full synthetic .

Understand, good to know. So the factory oil is OK during the first 3,000 miles, which includes the break in period?

I know a person who changed her oil at 1,000 miles to purge the minute metal shavings that occur during the break-in period. I’ll change to synthetic at my first oil change.

I wonder if that is strictly the human population, or the rodents and insects as well? To wit, some individuals here try their best to blur the lines between the three in my experience. :movember:

I keep my teeth to myself, Lydia; fear not. :turkey:

I have had dealers who recommend 1,000 then 3,000 but they never seem to be consistent.

There is a lot of inconsistency when it comes to the topic of oil and oil changes. It can’t hurt to change it at the 1,000 mile mark. :)

Agreed. The only thing you're going to hurt by changing oil early is your wallet. :lipssealed:

As Jeep owners, this is a pain we will adjust to rapidly. :giggle:
