Oh WOW! I think you're the high mileage winner so far. I'm glad you have had no issues. I haven't either, but I only have 250 miles on mine! I think the consensus of the majority on this forum is that we LOVE our Patriot!:smiley_thumbs_up:
 
I hit 10,000 miles this morning and gave my baby it's 3rd oil/filter change. 1st at 500 with conventional oil, then Mobil 1 at 5,000 and now 10,000. I have had no issues so far and am very pleased with my first Jeep.
:wow:That's very reassuring, it will be my first Jeep too, keep the good news coming in!!!:smiley_thumbs_up:
 
Congrats, there are a couple of you high milers paving the road for us! We just turned 6000 (second oil change tomorrow)
 
Speaking of oil,how does using Mobil 1 affect the warranty?

As long as you follow the recommended change interval listed in the owners manual you can not void the warranty by using a particular brand of oil.
 
Yeah, there was a 15k+... I have over 11k. Sadly, I looked up the value vs. what I owe and right now I'm -$6000. Wish "American" cars would hold value.

Oh well.
 
Yes,congratulations but let's wait untill at least 100 000 miles and then we may start to be optimistic,good quality cars do easily over 250 000 miles but that's of course a VERY GOOD QUALITY,we are not talking about Russian Ladas or Chrysler K cars here.
 
That's the way to do it, those oil changes are really important. Good for you jeepmuck, I foresee many happy miles ahead for you!:smiley_thumbs_up:
 
I think I would change the air filter, and just get a visual check on the brakes. I don't have my owner's manual in front of me so that's just off the top of my head. And, of course, check all my fluids.
 
I'm not so sure, an air filter change is really necessary at 12k, maybe cleaning it out a bit would be all thats necessary.
I'll have to give mine a look-see! I've been so busy lately, I've hardly had the time to check that! Not to mention, I've got to give the car its pre-winter cleaning!
 
I am on the precipice of 13K miles after 5 months of ownership on account of my work commute. I change my oil at 4K intervals using Mobil 1 and a Purolator filter. I have had zero problems to date with anything. Yesterday I changed the oil, adjusted some of the play from my "flapping hood" and gave it a bath and vacuum.
