did you not get an free oil change package when you bought your truck? if you don't do them yourself, then you should take it to the dealer. don't trust any of those quick lube places, i've had nothing but bad experiences before i had a garage and started doing my own.

i do my own in the garage it easy and about 50 bucks cheaper than going to the dealer or quick lube

I haven't had to get one post kooks but I am about to have to find someone to do them because I want to keep my warranty. Let me know where you go.

Any Chrysler Dealer should be able to do it. Burts in Parker (talk to Kent, service advisor) will even let you bring in your own oil and filter if you want and charge you only for labor. That will save you $$ because they charge $10 a qt for Mobile 1 which is $70 of your usual $100+ charge.
Two important things to watch regardless who changes the oil:
#1 When they fill oil, make sure they use a funnel and not fill too fast which might allow oil to back up into the breather line and then to the filter. (this was a warning from the service manager at GO (Elway) when I bought the truck.
#2. If they put the full 7 gt's in it will register over full. I only allow them to put in 6 qt's and add additional oil myself after I've driven it home and allowed it to set overnight. Usually only takes 1/4 to 1/2 qt. to top off on dip stick. Problem is probably because all the old oil doesn't completely drain.
3. I use the Mobile 1, 0-40w, in mine as recommended and it costs me about $6 a qt at Checker, etc. but if you are in a warmer area and want to use 5-40w instead you can get it at Sam's club for about $4.50 a qt.
