I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 3.0 V6 EcoDiesel.
Manual states oil change will not exceed 10,000 miles or 12 months.
That said, I won't come close to that in my oil changes. Usually at 6-7 months and only 5-6,000 miles. Oil life is only at 50% or so.
Necessary no, but it's what I feel comfortable at. Cheap insurance.
My extended warranty is 8 years and 120,000 miles. I use Rotella T6 5W-40 as recommended,(full synthetic). 8 quarts, probably half of what the Cummins uses.
I document my oil changes with photos each time. CYA. If any warranty issues come up, hopefully I'm covered.
The extra $100 or so I spend each year for oil changes isn't breaking the bank.
We spend 50-70K on these vehicles, and a little extra preventive maintenance sure can't hurt.
