Bought this 2021 Jeep last October with 38100 miles. Dealer changed the oil prior to sale. Ten months later, I've only added about 3500 miles. Is it too soon for a change?

Thanks for your thoughts.

***ETA - took the rig over to the nearby Jeep store. Got the two oil change deal, use one now and the other within a year. $145 for the package. Their inspection showed nothing else needed.

Think I should stick with a six month interval.

Appreciate all your comments.

Would appreciate some reccos for the right mag/field of vision for my new set.

Using for work. I monitor a 100 acre site with multiple vehicles, trailers, medium duty equipment, etc.

They all have a 4" decal/sticker with an identifier. . Distance to target would be 150 yards maximum. Is there a set that will allow me do that?

Company gave me some inexpensive 10x25's that are not very sharp.

Thanks.

Was at the Jeep dealership last week and chatted with one of the service dept staff.

I asked about the current new models with the 4cyl engine. First thing he said was - to avoid them. Said there are breakdowns in the shop with 2k miles.

Said he heard from a rep that mid 2027's will be getting the V8 back and both V8 & V6 engines are planned to be available in 2028.

Can anyone confirm?

I had a 2007 GCL, never had an issue like this.

After a carwash or driving in the rain, this Jeep sheds what seems like gallons.

Example:

Got it washed yesterday, drove about 20 miles doing errands, came home & parked it inside. A few hours later, there's water everywhere, and I mean everywhere.

On a dry day - there isn't a drop of anything in the garage or driveway,

Can't figure it out.

Bought a sweatshirt described as Good - Worn Once.

It came really wrinkled like it had been wadded up & had a funky smell.

Soaked in warm water & baby shampoo for an hour. When I lifted it out of the sink, this was the result.

Is it worth reaching out to the seller to tell them this was really disappointing?

Vehicle died upon starting the other night. Would run for a few seconds then die out. Happened multiple times.

Had towed to the selling dealer, from whom I bought the ext warr.

Turned out it needed an ignition coil. One. Warranty covered. No deductible.

Dealer charged the warr co $125 for the part & $600 labor. I have no idea if that's fair but it cost me zero out of pocket.

They added 30 miles, which concerns me. The town they're in isn't but five miles across.

Additionally, on Monday morning , when it was running fine the MPG display showed 16.8. When I picked it up this evening, shows 15.3

Does that sound like a tech drove it home & beat on it ?

Regular at $4.99 at three stations on Rte 43 and Lake Cook Rd. Bp, Shell Mobil. Went up 50 cents this week

Wondering if my avg MPG is always going to be in the mid teens.

Jeep is used mostly for suburban drives with a few runs at 50MPH on weekends. .

I've only put 2k miles on in five months. Still has under 40k.

When I bought it last fall, (and left Eco mode on) the best I got was low 18's. With Eco off over the winter, it dropped to 16 MPG.

Was told that summer/winter gas blends may have had some effect.

Is this pretty much average that that year/make/model?

FWIW, my old GCL with a 4.7 got 14/16 MPG

thanks in advance for your comments.

ETA - 265/50/20 tires if that makes a difference.
