Pathetic!
The only dealer I trust is an hour and a half away. The dealer she took it to is 15 minutes away. That service department sucks. They charged me for a recall on my Ram pick up. I paid went home printed the TSB. When I went back and showed the service manager the TSB, he said in an angry voice, “where did you get that”! I said you just lost a customer, I will never bring a vehicle here again. The wife did not want to drive to the other dealer, and forgot about what that dealer previously did aa few years ago. I will never forget.

That's still a half quart too high, better than 6, but still I'd only run 5, no more, no less.
There has to be someone, not a dealer, that's recommended in your area. Everyone can't be that ignorant, or has it come to that already?
Lack of accountability is the problem. When you get to that level the common excuse it that the pool of qualified candidates is too small, so this is what we get. Truly ridiculous.
Thanks for posting this thread. In my experiences with the local incompetent jeep dealer in AZ, I wouldn't have them wash my car. I had a few free oil changes available, but elected not to use them. This is not something that Jeep does, I had several dealerships do the same. Yes if to much is added, please correct, it could damage your engine. Once again, your post was definitely needed to remind us that such things do happenUrgent - Check your oil levels. Did the Jeep dealer put in 6 or 5 quarts in your JL? Even after a couple of years, some Jeep dealerships are still putting in 6 quarts instead of 5 quarts of oil into JLs. They overfilled mine twice even though I reminded them and put a note on the dash to put in 5, not 6. I will now start changing my own oil. The dealer argued and said it was 6 quarts until I showed them the owners manual, both times. I thought by now the Jeep dealers would know, but I recently randomly called 6 other Jeep dealerships around the country and 100% of them said that JLs take 6 quarts of oil, even when I asked them to verify with their techs. The original thread on this issue, which at https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/reminder-5-quarts-of-oil-to-avoid-oil-overfill.14789/ still has many continuing examples of this mistake. I'm starting this new thread to help reach those who may not realize they are running with 6 quarts as an urgent action item. Running with too much oil can damage your engine as most people already know. Here is how you check and some references from the original oil thread.
Here is an example of a service order that shows they put in 6 quarts. Sometimes the service order will show 5 quarts, but they put in 6, so check your dipstick.
This is from the owners manual that it is supposed to be 5 quarts, not 6. The JK uses 6, the JL uses 5.
This indicates where to check on the dipstick (V6). The blue arrow is where it should be with 5 quarts. The yellow arrow is where the oil will be if they put in 6 quarts.
This shows where it is overfilled and the Jeep dealership put in 6 quarts (V6)
This shows where it is overfilled and the Jeep dealership put in 6 quarts (2.0)

Spoke with the dealer today, they said 5/12 qts, my manual also says 5 and the invoices from the dealer say 6. Hey FCA why is stuff like this so hard to resolve.Urgent - Check your oil levels.

For the same reason they are installing the recall V1 steering stabilizer in the wrong direction. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/got-the-v41-recall-work-done.32867/page-8#post-809503
I have always gone by what the dipstick shows, regardless of what is written in a book or a manual.
