I will never let anyone change the oil on my vehicles. I purchased a new 24 Explorer and they told me I get 6 free oil changes with it. I said, if it’s free, give me 6 filters and all of the oil. They looked at me like I had two heads? I left the Ford dealer with 6 filters and 30 quarts of oil.
Ya it was only at the dealer because it was "crank, no start". They replaced the ecu. Was it an honest mistake overfilling? Or was it because I told him it burns oil? Who knows.
@TJ-qz6hr At the 4,954 mile point, I added oil 2x. So I told the service advisor it was burning oil. I picked the jeep up at dealer, drove it home yesterday, and today I popped the hood, checked the oil and it was over-filled one quart. Which is why I was sucking out the oil in this video. So you might be thinking, hey, maybe YOU overfilled it by adding that quart before it got towed into the dealer! I took a picture of the dipstick showing it was low, like, below the hash marks low, also the picture shows color on the dipstick indicating some age to the oil. The picture I took today is clean oil, checked several x, clearly over-filled by a quart. I bought that sucker to suck brake fluid from the master cylinder for doing brake fluid flushes. But it came in handy today. Either the bone head accidentally over-filled it, or they put extra oil in for when I come back in 1500 miles to check my oil, and at that point, the oil level would have been at the full level. I've heard overfilling can cause all kinds of different problems, all of which I don't want to find out. If I don't have to, I won't be bringing it back there. The day I bought it, I noticed the battery cover under passenger seat was lifted up, I looked at it, and found a broken tab. I brought it in, and showed them. Then I waited THREE HOURS for a tech guy to look at it and I get the vehicle back with them telling me they ordered the part. Week later, part is in! Come on in and we will replace. I come in, wait 2 hrs for the cover to be replaced, they tell me it's done, I get home and looked. Nope. Not replaced. I looked up the part number what they DID supposedly replace, a fuse cover under the hood. And that's when I SHOWED them the broken cover UNDER THE SEAT. Not under the hood. They're stupid. I don't want to deal with more idiotic bullshit because I've dealt with their stupid before.
0W-20 oil is just for environmental protection purposes to make emissions look better

@@FredFlintstone21 So your saying, at the correct oil level, it is still burning oil?

After watching your other Jeep videos, I see where your coming from, what a mess. Good luck with it.
The manual says to add 0W-20 oil, but I think that is too thin, can we use 0W-30?
You won't be able to do that with jeep grand cherokee 6v it's complicated
