Good to know.
On a side note : I have to admit I'm a firm believer in the "every 3000" way of thinking. I understand technology and the science in oils and engines has advanced greatly since I started changing oil. But when I check my "dip stick" @ 3k on my new tech engine and new science oil and it's still dark brown /black. I figure eh I will just stick to the 3k club personally.

Do you happen to know what the filter part numerous is? I'm going to swing by the dealer this weekend to pick up a half dozen, and want to make sure they are the right ones. Thanks

The dealer would know. I would assume the 14 and 15 are the same.

Thanks you, I'll place my trust in them then. If someone else happens to know the part number in the mean time, please post it up! Thanks

Things to check and recheck:
1. Get the correct oil filter and oil depending on your model year (I believe 12/13 use different than 14+)
2. Make sure you swap out the o-ring on the plastic housing and also make sure it's seated in the correct spot.
2. When tightening the plastic housing with the new filter in place, DO NOT over tighten. Get it snug and call it a day...over tightening will cause cracks and then your quick oil change will turn into a project.

Any issues with going offroading straight after an oil change?

What do you mean? There won't be any issues doing that.

Hmmm. Went to the dealer today. He gave me 5W-30, but on the cap it says 5W-20... Should I return it to the dealer and get 5W-20 in stead? I've got a 2014 model

Shouldn't be an issue. I would call the dealer and ask why. They may have a very good reason for why they gave you that oil. If you look in your owner's manual, you will find that different oil grades are recommended for different areas/conditions/driving styles. Either way, I wouldn't stress over it.

Oils change from 12-13 to 14+.
