Thoughts on 3.6 longevity

[Deleted member 57375]

I was reading about the issues with metal inside the 3.6 . I have a 2018 jl unlimited with the 3.6. I would like to know the mileage of the first oil change and all after that,also was the engine broken in properly. I would like to hear feedback from the people who have had this issue with their 3.6

Your guess is as good as ours on your 3.6.

Maybe it is a wording issue and you are asking what we did. I changed my 3.6 oil at 2000k miles then 5000k miles and then every 5k miles after that.

Well, I guess here we go

Just go ahead and replace the cams, heads, and gaskets I guess if you wanna be sure

I'm glad I'm not the only loser who is still haunted by this one

 

[Sean L]

Yes

So are you asking us when you did your first oil change? Trying to understand what you need from us here.

@RFWRANGLER18 never clarified that one? That was a doozy.

Yeah I got the idea that he was looking for 3.6 owners that had issues with their motor, and what their care regimen was like. Which is why I didn't answer, cause i haven't had issues. I run 87 octane, change my 0w-20 every 7500 miles, and mine runs like new. No knocking, no ticking. So I assumed I wasn't his target audience.

But where do you stand on the ridiculous requirement that 35x12.50R20 tires only be installed on 20" wheels?
