I've got a 2009 Patriot 4x4 CVT. The owner's manual specifies that oil changes be performed when the "change oil" message comes on on the dash, or every 6,000 miles, whichever is sooner. On my other vehicles I always use synthetic oil and wait about 7,500 miles between changes.
Any reason why Jeep insists not going past 6,000 miles? I would just wait the extra 1,500 but with the lifetime powertrain warranty, I don't want to give the dealership any excuse to deny me if (knock on wood) I have an engine problem somewhere down the line.
Thanks,
Chris
