I'm now the very proud owen of a new Jeep Ribicon. Cool!

Now, should I change the oil after the first 1000 miles, or does Jeep put a
special "break in" oil that should stay 'til 3000? How about an Oil
(Filter) Magnet?

Thanks for your comments.

Doesn't the owner's manual have the recommended service schedule?

If it's green you could call it a Ribbicon.. ribbit... ribbit... :)

As to the oil, ask the dealer. Usually they don't use any special oil
but around here most dealerships want you to bring it back after 1-2000 for
a free change so they can look at the oil. YMMV

Oil filter magnets arn't a bad thing but it's usually cheaper to get a busted
old hard drive and swipe the magnet out of that. That and the magnets from old
drives are real powerfull.
