Even if you have a good dealership, check your service write ups.
My 2018 JLUR seemed fine even if I could never get over 18mpg even when I drove “nice”. After seeing another thread about dealerships overfilling with 6 quarts I decided to check my write ups.
Sure enough they had been giving me 6 quarts since my very first oil change around 2000 miles.
To top it off they were also giving me the wrong oil (5w20).
All the information the manual and everywhere else says that for a JL with the 3.6 they get 5 quarts of 0w20. For all conditions.
The dealership was great when I brought it in on a Saturday morning. I told the guy what was up, he asked to see my write ups, which I showed him. He checked the computer and as he is looking at the screen I see he realizes I was right.
He apologizes, gets the manager involved and then puts my car at the front of the line and re does the oil change with the correct weight and amount.
When I’m leaving he stops me and says thanks and shakes my hand. He tells me they are sending out a bulletin to all the service technicians because apparently none of them knew about the change.
And I already am getting 3 more mpg than I have ever had with this JLUR.
Check your paperwork!!!
