yup, those free oil changes just aren't worth the hassle of going back and forth anymore. they overfilled oil TWICE even reminding and making sure the service advisor understands that its only 5 quarts and not six.
They are all somebody’s children. I blame the legal guardians for enabling behaviors that allowed them to become the way they are.
I was wondering the same. Never had issues with my wave oil changes and tire rotations, but not sure what I’m looking at in this picture?
You're looking at the 2.0. oil filter that appears to be the original filter - not one that was just changed. The 3.6 uses a cartridge filter I guess, the 2.0 filter is down low next to drain plug. It's easy to get to though and oil changes are simple AF on this engine.
Same here...when my son and I installed the Rubicon goodies on my Sport I discovered about 8 or 9 lug nuts that had galled threads from a previous Jeep Wave tire rotation with the OEM steel wheels. Fortunately, the studs were OK, and I had leftover lugs from the Mopar locking lugnut kits, so we just swapped them out.
Oh my goodness! What a horror story! I read that story with grimaces all over. More the reason to never let anyone touch your Jeep unless absolutely necessary.At least w/ the 2.0 some dummy can't put your filter in upside down, hard to believe but it happened here~

Don't just report this to the service tech, they are all buddies and it will stay between them. Try to get to the owner, branch manager or what ever. Who ever did this needs to lose their job....Ok so I went to my local Dealer, not where I purchased my jeep, for my first oil change and tire rotation at 4999 miles. all seemed ok they were fast about a half hour to 45 minutes and I was out the door. I was busy with errands yesterday and did not check anything until this morning. I go to the garage and check the oil it looks clean but slightly overfull about a half inch on the dipstick. I crawl under to check the oil filter and make sure there are no leaks, that's when I notice the oil filter says FACTORY INSTALLED ! on it and is not even clean. filter is covered with road dirt just like the underside of the Jeep. I'm Pissed and i'm thinking they never changed the filter at all. Just did a drain and fill with an unknown oil. Now I have to go back and fight with them. Lucky I have photo proof cant wait to see what they have for an explanation. I'm not even sure they rotated the tires now. At @JeepCares Care to comment ???
Yea you cannot trust a dealership to do oil changed properly. I stopped using my free ones and started doing the oil changes myself because they kept putting an extra quart in. I actually got into an argument with 2 of the "techs" over how much oil goes into the JL. They said "ALL WRANGLERS TAKE 6!!" Boy his head was hanging pretty damn low when he realized he was wrong.....Ok so I went to my local Dealer, not where I purchased my jeep, for my first oil change and tire rotation at 4999 miles. all seemed ok they were fast about a half hour to 45 minutes and I was out the door.

Um, other than that time they did a tire rotation on my Fiat 500 Abarth and just jacked of the body, causing damage to the body on both sills.
I too live in a city and don't have access to a garage. I roll my Jeep up on ramps (though they are not needed they make the job easier) and lay down on a worn down gravel driveway with dirt and grass in-between. Or just go to an autozone parking lot and roll under there on a more flat surface.
