  1. At 3875 miles change oil light came on. My local studio directed me to an associated Chrysler/Jeep dealership for the oil change. Scheduled the service for last night. I was advised that a couple service bulletins’ were in place. The door hinges needed to be re-torqued; the cap to the diagnostic port was removed; the lug nut wrench replaced; lower fog light bulbs replaced with Nokya Artic Yellow bulbs (great look and visibility with snow and rain). Surprised the studio moved service to an associated dealership. If this is going to be the norm I am wondering if any Chrysler dealership can do my oil changes. I usually get my oil changes done at Valvoline. I stopped by a couple days ago and of course they didn't have the necessary oil filter for the 500. I was even told that if the filter is a cartridge filter they would not change the oil. Apparently they broke the housing on a Mini some time back and they don't want the liability.
  2. Can someone tell me where the cabin air filter is located. Need info for future change out.
  3. Well I picked up my new 500 sport in olive green. I had a rain soaked commute to work this morning and enjoyed the ride, the Bose system was fantastic. I got to work and parked in my parking spot. All the comments started with "cute". Little do they know that cute = cool. I have the day off tomorrow and will find every excuse to drive somewhere. "How about a loaf of bread?" As soon as the weather improves, some sun, I will post some pictures. I will use the great north atlantic as my back drop, maybe a sunrise shot. Till then "Drive Fun Drive Safe"

First oil change and service

by tpetrillo on 01-12-2012 at 09:56 PM
At 3875 miles the car provided a system warning (oil change). I scheduled the oil change and my local studio (MA) directed me to an associated Chrysler/Jeep dealer ship for the oil change. I scheduled the service for last night at 6pm. I was advised that a couple service bulletins’ were in place. The door hinges needed to be re-torqued; the cap to the diagnostic port was to be removed; the lug nut wrench needed to be replaced. In addition, I had the lower fog light bulbs replaced with Nokya Artic
