I know it's "cheap insurance," and I'll never convince you otherwise (nor do I intend to -- you do you), but it's really just a waste of money/oil with modern synthetics. Even if you stretched it out to just 5k you'd be saving almost half as much oil/money while maintaining the same protection. Using a quality filter (factory OEM, Wix) is important too.

I've put around 180k miles on my Toyota in the last 9 years with 9k-10k intervals and it runs great as well with a sparkling interior under the valve cover.

You can run quality modern oils for 20k in a car as robust as a Toyota if you change out the filter mid-interval.

Germans specify 12-15k nowadays and they run much tighter tolerances.

I’ll look into it, one of the main concerns I have is finding metal in the pan early on, and mine is a keep, she runs really hot that is why assumed the oil change that jeep advices was mandatory, but I’ll check in the jeep forum see what they say, thank you!
