Drove 3,000 miles with no air filter!

The PO was not really smart, then.

You don't like oil on your MAF?

I don't like dirt in my engine, oil on a MAF, or a filter that plugs up several times faster than stock while at the same time, when clean, letting in many times more dirt.
These as sold aren't suffering for air.
And looking around, not too many JT owners have gone with different cam grinds, running around in the 5,000 RPM range most of the day.

That's a cheaper aftermarket cabin air filter.......... PG PC99454 Cabin Air Filter
I suspect that won't fit the air box under the hood.

Ok, $20.

Not ideal, but I do not think it is the end of the world unless you are driving down gravel or dirt roads following people all day.

I would just check and clean the air intake change temperature sensor and move on.

Edit: Would recommend a throttle body intake cleaning also.

I would really like to know what NC dealer this is so I can avoid them.

I’m betting it is Steve White Motors in Hickory! What a bunch of jackasses!

Immediately pull the oil and send a sample to ISO lab not blackstone which they are not. Oil Analyzers are good.

ahhh. The CYA with plausible deniability explanations.

Reminds me of when I used to work in a tire shop. I remember watching techs rubbing dirt on scratches that they created just to tell the customer that it was already there pointing out the dirt over the scratch.

Good lord. I take my wheels off and bring it to them so they don't jack and damage underside. Anyhow Ill do a vid now of my wheels with a time and date.

I don’t blame you. I’ve certainly seen some things.
