I think the guy is stuck on what WIX was 10+ years ago and not what they actually have become today. His shop, his rules I guess, but I think it was a wasted effort to do the inventory reset.

I think if you did a modicum or research on what you are asking, you probably would not be asking. The 2007-2010 2WD Wranglers were not the best years even for a 4WD Wrangler with the crappy oil burning 3.8L push rod V-6 that came in them.

Champion Labs is not the same company it was 10+ years ago that seemed to care about quality and was more end user customer oriented. Having been sold and bought a few times since, they serve a different master that gives us the borderline junk issues we see today.

You cannot edit after a certain time and it locks you out.

You are over thinking it.

I would imagine the true shelf life is probably a couple peoples lifetimes.

For all we know, it could have been a whole days run of filters and however many thousands of units that may have been.

Looks like a older one with that large font. Thanks for sharing.

I have had the MOPAR equivalent do the same thing. Just shook the bottle until mixed well and then added. I think the additive pack is a lot heavier than usual and will fall out of suspension of the carrier oil fluid more quickly.

Yeah, they are leak tested with air pressure. There was a video posted of a Korean oil filter maker that showed the automation of the finish filters going down the line and getting leak tested with air. It was a pretty interesting setup.

Well, the second order of two showed up yesterday delivered by Walmart contract driver. So I have gotten the 3 of the 4 total ordered but have been refunded the one missing one so I have been made whole. Still happy for the three I have.

Cool glad to hear it. I got notice they shipped a few minutes ago. If they get delivered, that will just be the 1 box left out there but I have been refunded already so no foul there.

Just got done online chatting with Walmart and it looks like my missing item from my first order may have gotten jacked by somebody at FedEx or lost. They issued a partial refund and told me to keep it if it does eventually showed up. The whole thing of getting a damaged label and relabel...

Hope I did not make a bad decision ordering another set of 2 with my first order not completely resolved and only half delivered.

I can tell you from experience that most dealerships will not take warranty action based solely on a customer provided oil analysis. They need a hard mechanical symptom or drive-ability concern and only after they have approval from the manufacturer to start digging into a engine.
