Does anyone have a DIY for the 2014 KL oil change. More specifically a TH. I'm thinking of just changing my own oil and was wondering if anyone has a list of what tools were needed and where the drain plug is accessed (through the skid plates).

I need to know specifically what kind of socket size is used to release the oil filter. Looks like about a 3/4 or so.

I have free oil changes for life from my dealer. However that is dino oil. I want to run Royal Purple. If I buy my own they'll do labor and filter for free and use my oil. Or I can pay like 30 extra and get Pennzoil Platinum synthetic from them. My dealership is also like a 70 mile trip onr way though so now I'm into it for gas also. 6 quarts of Royal Purple and a filter from the local Jeep dealer would run me about 50 bucks or about the same as using the Pennzoil Platinum from the dealership. Figure it to be cheaper to do it myself rather than drive all the way over just for that.
