Then hold them accountable for when they botch it? I get it if I were someone who didn't know any better--but since I DO, it literally takes two minutes to check the sheet, check the oil, check the oil pan plug, etc.The 3.0L takes special oil (I believe this to a point). Dealership service departments have been botching this simple job in many ways:
using the wrong oil
wrong amount of oil
loose install of cap or plug
not waiting for oil to drain completely (per Jeep/FCA, this is a no for the 3.0)
improper cleanup of spilt dirty oil
The Jeep wave program might be worth it to someone who doesn't work on their rigs, but to a normal red-blooded American that isn't afraid to get their hands dirty, a 'free' incompetent oil change is worth exactly what said person paid for it.
I'm not averse to doing my own work/labor. Not afraid to get dirty. Just taking advantage of something that would otherwise cost me $600+ and my own time. To each their own I guess?
