Is that what the dealer MSRP is? Looks like they sold me about three more
quarts than could possibly be used in my Jeep.

It just says, synthetic gear oil and a part #4874469

It gets better...according to my Jeep Liberty Factory Service Manual...it
holds just about ONE quart in the front and just barely two in the rear.
They charged me for SIX, (mechanic must be taking it home...).

Further, the "B", (most severe) maintenance schedule says to change them at
60k miles, they did it to ours at 30k...nice of them huh?

It's a 2003 Jeep Liberty Renegade, 3.7L engine...what a hoot those guys are.
It was supposed to be $239 for the service, my wife paid $607...oh hell
yeah.

DAMN!!! Did they offer any Vaseline with that? (Sorry to hear the high
price on the Mopar stuff.) :(

What P/N# did they list on the work order? Also depends which fluid: Mopar
or BG fluid.

If they used the 5010320AA fluid...that's about $10/qt.

Hey Bernd,

What does your dealer charge for this stuff? I had my Liberty serviced
today and the f****** charged me $22 a QUART for the Mopar crappola....good
grief.
