No, it won't void your warranty. Keep the receipts, keep a running log on services including date and mileage and what brand of oil and oil filter. There are blank pages in the back of the owners manual you can use.I've had bad experiences with dealerships in the past, and would rather not use them for my 3 free oil changes. Does this raise any issues with the warranty?
During the warranty period, I go a little crazy and keep all of the following for my oil changes:... keep some evidence or a log of your oil change in case you need to prove it was done.
Sorry, that is specifically spelled out in the Jeep as well as other vehicle warranties.I have NEVER been asked to provide proof of oil changes done by me (which is every oil change in every one of my vehicles for the past 45 years, except for the very few free ones offered by the dealer.)
That includes a warranty engine replacement in a Nissan Hardbody a year after purchase.
So I would go so far as to say that doing NO oil changes at all does not void the warranty.
We all know that is what the warranty says and no one is suggesting NOT doing oil changes, but the OPs question was about doing your own oil changes. I was simply pointing out what I pointed out.Sorry, that is specifically spelled out in the Jeep as well as other vehicle warranties.
My experience:Has a dealer EVER asked for proof from you that you performed regular oil changes? Didn't think so.

You said that doing NO oil changes does not void warranty. That's exactly what that statement says - "would go so far as to say......." and you said it. No oil changed does not void the warranty - and yet you say "we all know......." no - not everyone here does know. I'd bet that most, in fact, have not even bothered to read that warranty, otherwise, why all the basic questions? So you can't say "not changing oil does not void the warranty" and then say "we all know what the warranty says".So I would go so far as to say that doing NO oil changes at all does not void the warranty.
Bravo. Well done. They had that right - and I'd bet (but have no proof) that even the Subaru warranty has wording protecting them from the person that never changes oil and assumes.....My experience:
I previously had issues with 2 Subarus simultaneously, one at 60k and one at 85k. Subaru of America said that to cover repairs they needed my records of all required maintenance for both vehicles. No doubt they thought that this was their "out" because there wasn't one maintenance record in their system for either vehicle. They seemed quite surprised when I sent them all my documentation including receipts for everything (oil, oil filters, drain plug gaskets, air filters, brake fluid, spark plugs, brake pads).
This is bad advice. Not doing required maintenance oil changes does in fact void your warranty if discovered.I have NEVER been asked to provide proof of oil changes done by me (which is every oil change in every one of my vehicles for the past 45 years, except for the very few free ones offered by the dealer.)

Yes. In fact, multiple times.We all know that is what the warranty says and no one is suggesting NOT doing oil changes, but the OPs question was about doing your own oil changes. I was simply pointing out what I pointed out.
