I verified the dealer put in 5 quarts of oil change a few days ago. They put in 6 quarts the previous 2 oil changes. I called 4 random Jeep dealerships and asked how many quarts of oil a JL takes. All 4 said 6 quarts. Wrong. Right answer is 5. When I told them the JL manual said 5 quarts, they all got real defensive and said I was wrong. So I suggest that everyone who had a Jeep dealer change their oil to check their dipstick. Here is the oil thread where this has happened to other JL owners. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/reminder-5-quarts-of-oil-to-avoid-oil-overfill.14789/

Here is an example invoice from another JL owner of where the Jeep Dealership F'd up.

Installed my new set of 35s on standard Rubi rims that I bought from great forum member @19 JLUR Bright Whit3 !
Love the new stance, I know it wouldn’t work well offroad but it works for us; they do rub when I’m turning the wheels to the max, I think I’ll need wheel spacers to fix it, and possibly a lift kit (was considering 2.5” spacer kit by RC (Not sure that’ll really fix the rubbing though).
Thoughts ?

Don’t worry about spacers. Adjust the steering stops just a couple turns and that will fix the rubbing issues. You won’t even notice it.

Yesterday I went in for the 1st oil change, 3100 miles. When I picked it up, I noticed the invoice showed 6 qrts. So we had a discussion about 5 qrts in the manual. SM agreed there was some conflicting info out there, so we checked the dip stick, and it was exactly where it was suppose to be. So I said good enough and went home. About an hour later I thought I would back up the Jeep in the garage, since the hardtop is hanging in way, and double check the oil level. Boy did I get a surprise. The whole underside was actually dripping oil. I double checked the pan drain plug, it was tight. Called the dealer and SM said, oh yeah....the tech didn't screw down the filter cover all the way and spewed about 2 quarts everywhere...we thought we had cleaned it all up. I brought it back for a full detail, and they gave me credit for a 2nd detail anytime in the future. I respectfully and calmly put the screws to him, and the SM was very professional. We've been taking our Cherokee in for oil changes and service and never had a problem. SMH

That sucks. It’s so many stories like this is why I avoid dealer service, even though Jeep wave is free for awhile. #DIY:rock:

Thanks for the info!

I've run 38-40x13.50r17 load C/D on my past few jeeps. I'm looking to buy a Gladiator so I figured I'd give 20s a shot. I'll most likely do 37x12.50. So there will be decent sidewall.
I think the gladiator with 37s and 20s will look great and ride fine. Post some pics whenever you get it! Id love to see the finished rig
