First oil change?
I Have a 2012 jku it's time for first oil change , I have made up my mind not to let anyone change my oil I'm going to do it myself , my question is what oil to run , contacted my dealer and they said any 5w 30 with mopar filter. Any input would be great thanks.

Same with me. But I just did my first change at 500 miles. A lot of people on here told me to do it at 500. It was clean and it felt like a waste, but I want my engine to last.

Wix is a manufacturer of filters and makes filters for the 2012 Jeep.
The part number is: #57526
Available at O'Reilly for $6.99, which Is much lower than my stealership.
Some on this forum believe they are the ACTUAL manufacturer of the filter carrying the MOPAR brand name. I have no evidence to support this claim.
They also make an air filter.
