The dealership usually has their worst employees doing oil changes. They don't properly torque the filter, they put in the wrong oil, they don't clean up the oil they spill inside the engine bay. They are incompetent and don't care about your Jeep.
Not sure that it's a waste of money if you count the oh shit factor. Lots of stuff can go wrong when the shop's least qualified technician works on your Jeep. There have been a dozen instances on here where the dealer used the wrong oil. Not to mention scratches, joy rides, and residual mess. I once found a half-eaten burrito seeping into the leather seats of my new GC in for its first oil change.
Exactly. I put a F106S Fumoto valve on my oil pan during my first oil change. Now I literally flip the lever, unscrew the top load oil filter while the oil pan is draining, screw the new filter in, then reach under and flip the lever closed. It's literally a 10 minute job at max and I know it was done with proper materials.
What was the oil % @ 6850Just had my first oil change for my 21’ JLUR Diesel, did it right at 6850 Miles on the odometer before I went on a 1200 mile road trip. The dealer was out of Diesel oil filters and had to call other Jeep dealers locally to get one, now with just over 8000 miles on the diesel, I have nothing but great things to say about this vehicle. I also got the extended maintenance package, if I had to pay the dealer here in San Diego, they are charging $300 for a diesel oil change now
My guess - around 26-30% oil life left.
IMO The on board diagnostic oil life indicator is the best parameter To use indicating when an oil change oil change is due I personally never go below 30%. The oil breakdown and clogging of the filter could vary, Often dependent on your driving style towing versus non towing, Driving in hot climates and we and wheeling your rig on a regular basis.
Which dealership in SD did you get the work done with? I’m in the same area. I bought mine in National City but it’s not very convenient to go down there to get work done.Just had my first oil change for my 21’ JLUR Diesel, did it right at 6850 Miles on the odometer before I went on a 1200 mile road trip.

I was around 15% left at that mileage for the first oil change
I'll have to go back and look at the report, I believe it was around 15-20% so maybe I was burning a little extra oil with offroading our here in the desert
I bought mine from San Diego Chrystler Dodge Jeep Ram: 777 Camino del Rio S, San Diego, CA 92108. They are usually pretty busy there but so far their service department has done a good job to help with questions and It's been a good experience with them so far
