Should get a separate sub-forum titled Jeep dealer oil change screw-ups so we can keep the other forums focused on things that aren't so pathetic.

Had V41 completed and first oil change. V41 went correctly. But, sure enough - they put in 6qts of oil. How is it that difficult? Think about it - their system shows this JL getting 6qts and that means that probably all JL's they service are getting 6qts. That is a lot of vehicles on the road that they are responsible for messing with.

Hmmmm... I thought their system was correct but the techs were going off the fact that the JK used 6 qts so they just followed suit.
What's the V41?

The V41 is the steering dampener recall.

Just got an oil change today along with the damper work. Damper was install correctly.
Oil on bill showed 6qt. Ask the service writer to confirm. They checked and was exactly at full line, meaning I got 5 qt. I double checked myself as well. Seems like the service writers aren't fully aware themselves but are starting to come around. Luckily the tech did it right the first time.

Part of the problem is the dipstick is hard to read when overfilled at least it was for me
