1st 5000 Mile Service!

[ThomFoolery]

Took my Sith Lord into the dealership for his first service this past Friday! It was the first one they sold and the first one in the service department. Fun seeing everyone gather to check it out. Loving this beast quite a bit!

Did you make sure they didn't overfill the crank case?

From the 1980s until early 2018 the V6 engines in Jeep Wranglers always took 6 quarts of oil, and it seems that most dealerships never got the memo that the oil capacity has now changed.

The Wrangler/Gladiator get 4 FREE oil changes per the Jeep Wave Program, but you must verify that they do the job correctly!

Nice Jeep!

Is that true about the oil changes? My dealership said I get 2 free from them.

The real question is, does it cost anything to remain a Jeep Wave member after a designated time.

Yes, it is true. Wrangler, Gladiator, and a couple of other models are automatically enrolled in the Jeep Wave Program. You get 4 free oil changes, 4 free tire rotations, and discounts on parts, among other things.

And yes, after the allotted time is expired you have to pay a fee if you wish to remain enrolled. Some models of Jeeps have to pay to enroll from day 1.

Got first oil change with the Wave program and dealer said they would not rotate the tires since the wheels were aftermarket. Too many customers complain of damage. Asked the service rep, "what more can you do to them?". It's not like I would be able to tell.

Haha, that's what my wheels generally look like too!
If anything, more scratches would make them look more uniform.

dealerships can be so freaking lame sometimes

I didn't know about the possible overflow but I will check. AND I didn't know about Jeep Wave giving me 4 free so thank you! I'll definitely look into that as I am enrolled.

I bought my Gladiator on May 31st and was automatically enrolled, I just received a Jeep wave packet yesterday with a ID card that they said to present to the dealership when getting service.

I’m enrolled in Jeep Wave but didn’t receive a packet.Will need to give them a call.

My service manager was adamant about not needing any scheduled service until 10,000 miles. At that time they will change oil, filter, rotate tires and give my JT a complete systems going over. All at no charge to me. Plus I have 8 years, 100k miles bumper to bumper warranty. Of course that does not cover consumables such as wiper blades, etc.

If I was a service tech, I wouldn't want to rotate aftermarket wheels and tires either. Most times, an aftermarket wheel/tire combo can go 90-120 lbs. each. Why should I lug that stuff around for a customer when the job calls for rotating OE equipment which is half the weight?

10,000 miles is a lot on break-in oil. The highest concentration of contaminate and metal particles will be in that first oil cycle.

Also, make sure they are aware that the current Pentastar V6 used in JL/JT is the first six-cylinder ever put in a Wrangler/Gladiator that requires FIVE quarts of oil.

I was automatically enrolled in jeepwave but I have seen nothing regarding free oil changes anywhere on the site other than them trying to sell prepaid oil change packages. Am I missing where to look? Let's face it at $40 or whatever that's a couple hundred I could use for other goodies. The dealership didn't say ANYTHING regarding free oil changes and this is not the first Jeep I have bought there.


DISREGARD!

I found it, for those of you who don't know where to look, you sign into wave click on "my account" then click on "jeep wave" then click on "my jeep wave". On that page it shows your enrollment date, number of oil changes remaining and there is a button to schedule service.
