Jeep wave oil change?

Make sure to tell them not to overtighten, one of the idiots did mine and I had to get a new oil plug

What mileage is everyone getting their first oil change? The engineers say to use the oil life indicator, some say sooner. Synthetic should easily be good up to 10,000 miles / 1 year, right?

I have seen oil that had a sample taken every 5,000 miles (Mobil one synthetic) and according to black stone analysis at 20,000 miles the oil was still good, no abnormal particles or traces, and still had enough packages left to go another round… right before the car hit 25,000 miles on that oil it was crashed. It got a new filter every 5,000 and topped off to keep it full. YMMV but synthetic oil will go a lot further than most think. I wouldn’t recommend that procedure unless you are having samples checked every 5k though

I had mine changed at apx 6500 miles, was reading 30%.

According to my servicing dealer, all my oil changes and tire rotations are free for the life of my vehicle

@DrPlastic You lucky devil, I’m almost to my last oil change and after that I’ll be doing them all myself, I don’t like others doing my work for me, but I take advantage of the oil changes... in all reality I’ll probably start doing samples and just putting a filter in every 5k and doing the oil at 10k

Will jeep wave free oil change be an issue if I am still at like 38% percent of my oil life? My tires need the free rotation, and many people recommend changing the oil before its life is maxed out. So i would like to just get both done.

Since I didn't drive that many miles for the first year, I used my wave changes early - doesn't matter if it's 500 miles or 5000 miles, as long as it falls in the time period the wave changes are good for. Do it as often as you like.

I had 4 so I did them every 6 months and don’t care what the mileage is my last one will be in August and then I will follow the manual

One other thing to remember is that the rotations and oil changes don't have to happen at the same time.
