I use Penzoil in the JT. I use Amsoil in my rally car (bored/stroked EJ engine) and my 450 Supermoto/Enduro. I DO use Supertech Motorcycle oil in my 230cc Chonda (Hawk DLX from Amazon, has EFI with GM ECU and Denso injector and MAP sensor and some in-house branded O2 sensor) since it doesn't...
Engine is definitely more quiet on start up. I do alot of off-roading up in the Sierra Nevadas and in Joshua tree so I see hi temps a lot which is why I went with the heavier oil. I change every 5k and have had it in for at least the last 5 oil changes. Before I was using the 0/20 by LM but the...
I use Costco gas Reg Unleaded in my 2020 JTR and I have NO problems, codes or anything negative! It's great gas and has been for decades... yes, I am as old as the dirt at the base of the cross. 😆
So I've had this code pop up and disappear within a day. I have the extendedwarranty, so I visited the dealership, and the first thing the service rep asked was if I had filled my tank that day or the day before with Costco, Walmart, or HEB (local grocery store) gas. I told him that I had...
UPDATE: Dealership found the driver's door seals are what's causing it. Water is running down behind the plastic and under the floor carpet.
Parts/labor, for both doors, around $300 and not covered by my extendedwarranty. :mad:
...call out is the updated V2 internals. Same look and install, but improved durability with upgraded LED drivers and internal protections (voltage, surge, reverse polarity, etc.), plus the extendedwarranty.
If you’ve been considering a set, now’s definitely the time before the discount...
...Anyone with experience of this and where it might be coming from?

...of early demise things. I'm definitely starting to feel steering linkage/ ball joints now at 6 years /107000 miles. I went with extendedwarranty also. Did oil change yesterday.
I'm on 3rd set tires, first 2 sets were 245r17 OEM and rims. A set of take-off from a member here years ago. His...
You know, even if you don't go off-road much a lot of folks don't understand hw nice it is to own a Gladiator. This is my fifth Jeep product and the Gladiator is the FIRST Jeep I've owned that is wife/dog approved for long highway trips. Actually she has a VERY nice brand new SUV with every...
...the Sport S hardtop, automatic, with all LEDs except headlights, ACC, active subscription to 911/SOS UCONNECT, at the price paid $34,600 New, including Jeep extendedwarranty for 7/100 fits the bill for us retirees just fine. But if I were to choose between a Rubicon or Mojave? I would go Mojave.
Smart people that have crunched the numbers say it is cheaper in the aggregate to put the money aside that would have been spent for the extendedwarranty and few dollars more each month as a rainy day fund than to deal with a company that is going to punish you by process to avoid paying out.
...dealership tries to gouge you with and compare. Occasionally there are a few dealers who are very honest who you sell you an OEM extendedwarranty at their price or a hundred or two over. I had a Subaru dealership that did that to stick it to their competition packed pretty tight where I...
...is always motivated to reduce their payouts, and thus increase their profits. That is why they are in business, profits.
The only extendedwarranty I would consider is a factory Mopar extendedwarranty. If I can't get that, I am not getting one. At least with the Mopar extendedwarranty the...
Yeah, the assumption is that the gears were modded - because why would a tech be "shocked" by OE gearing, and how would OE gearing (or any gearing) cause a fluid loss in the transmission? So either you're embellishing the story significantly, the shop is a bunch of clowns who are "shocked" by...
