Well I assume my JLU and my wife’s Grand Cherokee are going to blow up soon. I’m running Valvoline Full Synthetic Advanced with wix filters!

Napa brand oil with Napa Gold filters would likely save you a bit of money, and are the exact same products.Well I assume my JLU and my wife’s Grand Cherokee are going to blow up soon. I’m running Valvoline Full Synthetic Advanced with wix filters!
@TxJeepersI buy my Mopar oil filter from the same dealership each time. No doubt about tracking it if Jeep wanted to. 0w20 Penzoil Platinum. Oil cap on engine says 0w20. Penzoil bottle says it meets Chrysler standard. But get this, I have no idea how often I change because I only change it when the Jeep computer tells me to. Screw the old mentality of every 3k, 5k or whatever. Same for my other vehicle, it tells me when with a code and it, I let the dealership do it(not FCA brand).
Yes, each their own. Maintenance manuals from the companies that provide the warranty (in my case Jeep and Honda) both state to follow the computer. Computers that are running calculations based on actual data and not arbitrary lines drawn in the sand. But yeah, dealerships and the oil companies sure appreciate all the money they make off you guys who do it at set mileages.@TxJeepers
Not real wise going by the "Jeep Computer"... I would not do that, that is for sure... to each his own..
Funny, the dealers still change based on accumulated mileage since last oil change..
From the guy/you that pays the stealerships to change his oil.... Talking about pissing away $ needlessly.Yes, each their own.

I'm doing the same thing for both our JLUs. I also take a pic (scan) of the receipts and save them along w/ the Google spreadsheet.Pennzoil Ultra Platinum every 7,500 miles. Sticking with 0W20 and Mopar filters until the warranty runs out. I track all maintenance and mods in a Google Doc. Probably not a perfect plan, but a sensible one for my needs.
What, do you not drive your Jeep at all?First week of April 1x per year. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w-20 and Mopar filter. Almost due to do it again and I'll be good for another year.
