Since my new commute is only 2.2 miles my jeep never gets warmed up.
Wait, did you mention somewhere what the new job is?

Too soon. Atleast go for 3k, the "severe" oil change interval. If you took the car for a drive to get it warmed up, you wouldn't have to worry about it.Since my new commute is only 2.2 miles my jeep never gets warmed up.
Currantly running Proline 10w-30. While this is an ok oil I don't know how well it can take these short trips. Thinking 2500 miles.
Thoughts?
I agree. There is no harm in changing your oil early, especially during the winter. I'm going with 6 months, vs. 6K miles this time. My wife's Jeep is being used totally different since CV19. As a result I will be changing her oil earlier than I would have done prior to the pandemic. I will get a UOA and use that data to determine an OCI going forward.Get a UOA and establish a base line would be my suggestion.
How much time is on this OC? I worked from home a lot last year but I'm still going to change it in April just like I have been. Last year it was right at 2.5k for the Lucerne and 1600 for the Sierra. This year will be around 2k for the car and 1k for the truck. Mostly short trips with idle time in the winter for both. Right now the Lucerne OLM is at 60% and I do trust it but not going over a year.Since my new commute is only 2.2 miles my jeep never gets warmed up.

I did sit in the McD drive through for 30 min @ lunch today. Won't go back there!Too soon. Atleast go for 3k, the "severe" oil change interval. If you took the car for a drive to get it warmed up, you wouldn't have to worry about it.
I smelled it today. It is over the full line and has a very strong gas odor.Oil is cheap. Go for it. Do you smell any fuel in the oil?
