Default oil change question?

Maybe this has already been discussed however I searched and didn't find any answers.....I want to know If I do my own oil changes will Chrysler void my warranty? can anyone help me out? My Jeep is at 2100 miles and I would like to start doing my own oil changes. I have done this before on my 04 tundra and never had any issues with warranty, But I don't know if Chrysler is different since they offer the LIFETIME warranty.

Thanks

Save reciepts and use the maintenance log. Follow all the manufacturer recommendations. If there is ever a question kill them with paper work!!!

Can't imagine hurting the warranty IF you keep receipts and records, follow the owner's manual recommended intervals, and use the recommended fluids and filters. There's nothing in the warranty that states you must use a Chrysler-authorized service center. In fact, there's a whole section in the manual that guides you through self-service.

Never had anyone ask if the oil was changed on a schedule. I always did for piece of mind.
