Default oil change
I have recently installed a superchips setting into jk, do I need to set back to stock for an oil change at dealership?

any time you take your jeep to the dealership for anything, you should restore your computer back to stock.... just in case.

If you don't reset it to stock the dealer may update the flash and then you will need to pay $100 to unlock your superchips to get it to work again.
Besides the oil change can be done easy enough
