Both my Jeeps need an oil change now. I was planning on doing it the week of the 12th.
Also as a double check, both of my Jeeps are diesels. The full cost of the oil changes will be reimbursed?

Unfortunately we cannot have any diesel engines complete this evaluations. Do you have access to any other vehicle?

No, I enjoy persecution. Diesels are excluded from all marketing offers, the lifetime powertrain warranty (when it was offered), the pumps are the furthest away at the gas station, etc.
The reason for this one is probably that the dealers enjoy charging in excess of $120 for no apparent reason to change the oil. Chrysler marketing doesn’t want to hear this bad news, or my cheerful review of me being financially abused, so they won’t pay for it.
Despite all that, I’ve still saved over $3200 between two vehicles over the past six years by better fuel economy.
I'll never give up, but I'll never win either...
