    change oil light

    I notice every once in a while , when i start my 2012 Liberty the change oil light comes on flickers , until i hit the cancel button. I just had my oil changed 800 miles ago, I still have 2200 miles to go. Should i just reset it , or is something else wrong. Jeep runs great.:shrug:

    3.7 oil crud probelm

    Great post, I'm learning a lot. What causes the engine to sludge up. I just bought a 2012 Liberty with 38 k on her. Dealer changed oil at 37,900 , I,m going to change it at 40k and use syntech oil and a good filter. I'm sure dealer used regular oil.
