DC will probably replace these free beyond the warranty period under
goodwill. From what I can tell from the GC Forums this is a nearly universal
problem on '99 - '01 GCs.

of warrantee.

LOL! In this case they're probably looking at a recall if they don't keep
everyone happy. Even at high mileage it's worth a shot. Per my RO, the DC
Service Bulletin Number is 0500302.

Ok, now the bad part. I go to get in the thing this AM and there's oil all
over the garage floor under the front bumper. (I had the dealer change it
while it was in.) Turned out to be waste oil the guy didn't wipe up after he
pulled the old filter, just left it all over the skid plate, spoiler, etc.
Nice....

Next I pull the dipstick and it's like WAY over full. So, seizing the moment
I crawl underneath to pull the drain plug and let out the overfill but the
plugs in so tight I had to use a breaker bar to get it loose. Then as I
unscrew it it's obvious it's been over tightened or (heavens) cross
threaded. So, I dumped all the oil...it had like 7.5 qts in it! The drain
plug threads are buggered, but ok, it was probably run down with impact. Off
to the store for 6 qts of oil. In go 5.5, right at the full mark. Never,
NEVER, let anyone change your oil!!!!!
