while hindsight says this is the best way to go, I was putting the “experts” in charge. I’m not an expert. I do now wish I had done that, but there was no logical reason for me to do it without the benefit of knowing what would end up happening.
He has a 4xe. So I’m assuming a lot of those miles weren’t put in with the engine running but under electric only power. I doubt he has 12,000 miles on the gas motor. He never stated the gas motor miles, engine hours or how many months since the oil was changed.
Does he have a gasoline or Diesel engine? Then the 10,000 mi applies regardless of what mileage was accumulated under electric only power, according to the manual. This is something very easy for the dealer to point to down the road to deny warranty service.
yep Ubuntu……if it was Windows 98 or Windows Me that would be terrible….
Don't "them fancy newfangled cars with all them electro gizmos" have the ability to tell you when to change the oil based on time/usage/temp?
I took a step up and reprogrammed my Wrangler's CPU with "Forth" since it is much better for industrial control functions.
Mine does.
You know what is more expensive than an engine? The battery that was bricked by the software updates. And that has nothing to do with how long I went between oil changes.
I would say that it is good to hear that I'm not the only one with this issue, but that seems pretty rude since this situation sucks.
Again, should probably read your manual instead of assuming. Yes it has an oil life monitor, and as I clearly cited from the manual, regardless of what the monitor says, Jeep says you cannot under any circumstances (their words) go beyond 10,000 miles or 12 months.
Only 4xe and 392 owners specify their engine instead of saying "my Jeep."
The 4xe designation was pretty integral to my concern. I never had any concern taking my prior Jeeps to JiffyLube, but because this one is a 4xe, I thought maybe there was some risk.
