Talking about the TRX, this video will probably make you sick. This guy gets a new $93K + TRX and jumps it and then proceeds to totally trash it in subsequent videos.He's got 2 on order right now, one is sold, but the other isn't... yet. I'm going to try and do a bit of a test drive and thread on here if I can manage it.
Why are you providing the oil and filter? Kind of negates the free oil changes if you use your own oil and filter. Kind of like going to Red Lobster and ordering a $25 lobster dinner but you bring your own live lobster for them to cook.the truck is supposed to get lifetime free oil changes, providing one adheres to the dealership maintenance schedule.
Because of this, we provide the oil and filter and one of the dealership techs does the oil change,

I don't understand? If you're documenting the service history for warranty reasons, why not use the oem parts? If an oil related engine problem comes up, they can say the aftermarket filter is defective. And are you saying the free oil changes for life they advertise to entice you in, is just for the labor?I'm just taking advantage of the free labour, I believe I pointed that out several times in the thread, and it documents the service history for convenience. I'm bringing my own oil and filter because they are better than the OEM filter and bulk 5w-20 it would get otherwise.
Yeah, I had never heard of Whistlin diesel until this TRX video came out. I went to his channel to see what it was about and one of his latest videos was of him buying a SRT Challenger and doing stupid crap with it. Dented it up and roasted the rear tires until they blew.Yeah, there's another "character" on Youtube, I think it's whistlin' diesel? that does the same sort of crap, I watch VERY little youtube, primarily just music videos, for that reason. There's so much garbage, it's like Jackass meets the Kardashians in Big Brother; It's a race to peak stupid in an attempt to get clicks.

I just got new rotors and brake shoes for the front for $285. That brake service charge is ridiculous
Do you think the oil they use, to adhere to new car warranty requirements, is something inferior? And personally, I'll use a Mopar filter over Fram anytime.Because the parts I'm providing are better (Mobil 1 EP, FRAM Ultra).
They will provide, as long as you adhere to their (the dealer, not FCA) terms, free labor, oil and filter for the life of the vehicle. I

Do you at least take an empty jug and ask for the oil they would have used in your car as well as the filter?
I don't know what all those abbreviations mean but are you saying the oil they would be putting in your car is conventional not synthetic?And no, what use would I have for jugs of PYB? I don't stock any conventional oil, for anything.

Purchased my 2017 RAM 1500 brand new in October, 2017. In December I got an email about the "3 month required service". Pulled out my handy dandy owners manual, the one with the factory required maintenance schedule. Oh look! The first "required" service is not until 2 years/20K miles.
Of course, the dealer voided my "lifetime powertrain warranty!" because I didnt pay them for a 3 month checkup on my basically brand new vehicle.
That about says what most people need to know about required maintenance. And if the dealer had any hope of me actually paying them for any ACTUAL required maintenance, it disappeared after a whole 3 months.
Ridiculous. This is the first "service" other than oil changes, we were at 23,000 miles (roughly) and the vehicle was purchased in February, 2019, so it is two years now.
