6 Quarts engine oil!

[Sopwith Guy]

I did my first two free oil changes with the dealer on my ‘25 Rubicon X. Today I changed it myself for the first time and 6 damn quarts came out! The manual clearly states 5 quarts so I called the dealer and the service advisor said “they put what it needs and the VIN lookup says 6 quarts”. She said every VIN is different. I called BS on it and she transferred me to the parts guy as a second validation. He looked up my VIN and said “nope, it definitely takes 5 quarts”. P.S. the oil pan bolt required me using an impact wrench to loosen! Had to be 80-100 ft/lbs! I’ll never take it in for something I can do myself. Unbelievable.

I’m on my 5th wrangler and my free oil changes expire because i i don’t trust the lowest paid employee messing with my jeep. Jk 3.6 did take 6 qts but jl has always been 5 qts

Just went out and checked the dipstick after about 2 hours and it is right at the top with the 5 qts. This kind of incompetence just bugs the hell outta me.

checking the dipstick should be the first thing after some dipstick has been working on your J**p.

Superstitious maybe. If you type the word “Jeep“ something breaks the next time you drive it. But with “jump” I think you get high score in “words with friends”.

Time for a new dealer…..

1. Fumoto
2. It would be more upseting if (only) 6 quarts came out of my Jeep
3. "Free" oil changes are not free.

Since I joined the forum I've read quite a few ugly reports of dealerships that couldn't even change the oil correctly. It always reminds me of Tony Burton yelling at Apollo. " Stay away from him! "

The 5 qt vs 6 qt has been a debate since day one of the JL. I just add 5.5.
