1st oil change 3000 miles - Mobil1 then every 6000 miles - Mobil1. 15,000 miles on my JK now no issues. I also purchased the Lifetime Bumper to Bumper option.

I changed to Mobil 1 in my JK at 2,000 miles, then changed every 10,000. Have done this on my last 2 vehicles, my Liberty currently has 125,000 with no engine problems, my old cherokee had 214,000 when I sold it - still running great.
Synthetic oil is so good these days, I don't even consider anything else.

The "lifetime" doesn't cover worn out bearings, worn rings, ...... synthetic oil prevents wear, kind of like a longevity warranty!
