I just bought a 2008 Jeep Liberty. I took it on a road trip this week and it has 2500 miles on it now. When I tried to start it, it hesitated before it finally started. Then it said change oil. The owner's manual says to change it every 6,000. I had planned on changing it at 3,000. Do you think it saying that is a problem or is it just me?

Oil Change Required
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. The “Oil Change Required†message
will flash in the EVIC display for approximately 10
seconds after a single chime has sounded to indicate the
next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change
indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctuate dependent upon
your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you turn the ignition switch to the ON position. To
turn off the message temporarily, press and release the
MENU button. To reset the oil change indicator system
(after performing the scheduled maintenance) perform
the following procedure:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

Take it to the Dealership you bought it from and have them check your Battery and charging system. I think the battery may be bad. It should still be under warranty.

Definitely worth gripping about especially after you find out how proud they are with the MOPAR batteries price. A bad cell in a battery can cause multiple erroneous DTC's to set the SES lamp on and also some erroneous electrical annomalies to occur. The sooner you get it checked, the better your off.

Lord knows I went through 3 Mopar batteries when My dakota was brand new. Then I finally got tired of the crap and bought a Optima red top.
