I haven't looked yet either. But I thought that you have to have all your oil changes documented to maintain the warranty, ie; done by the dealer or an oil change place & have a dated reciept to prove it.

2007 3.7L Oil Filter Removal
Impossible for me! I took my oil and oil filter to the dealer. They removed the old and used mine for a little less than $10. (I had to have it towed there because the filter was so hard to get off that I used a long rod (hehehe) driven through it as a pry bar and it began to rip the metal of the filter it was on so tight. Since it had no oil or ability to hold oil, I had to have it towed.
).
Have the dealer do the first oil change and inform them to PROPERLY install the new filter (with a dab of oil spread lightly over the seal and only hand tight). Personally I used the K&N HP2009 as it is rated one of the best AND it has a socket-style end.

It seems as if those of you that have the 3.7L have more problems than those with the 4.0L engine. When I had my Liberty, it was a PITA to change oil in that as well and it has the 3.7L. I had to place a plastic bag around it while taking off the old one. If I didn't oil would go all over the skid plate and everything else. When I bought it I got free oil changes every 6k miles and when the dealer first did it I about crapped. I thought they forgot to put something back on because it looked like a quart of oil was on my garage floor the following morning
why all the receipts???????????????????????????
why should we have to keep receipts on the oil changes if we do it ourselves? if the engine stops working correctly because of the oil issue or something mechanical because of the oil, they will do a diagnostic check to tell you exactly why the engine locked up or whatever. they can tell you how old the oil in the engine is, i'm pretty sure that they can take the oil and run a complete breakdown on it like if they would take some blood out of you and send it to the lab for further analysis. i know that they can even tell you if the oil level was too low or too high when the engine locked up!
my point is, if the engine gets all gummed up and stops running and the diagnosis was that the gasoline that was put in it contained an off product or it was labeled as bad gas or the gas tank that supplied the engine contained water and somehow this caused the engine to malfunction. how many of you have kept receipts on the gas purchases that you have bought and filled up your nitro fuel tank? who is to blame for the bad fuel, you or the gas station you bought it at?
i know another, what if my transmission locks up? the conclusion was the level was too low.........well i'm not able to check the level boss because THERE IS NO DIPSTICK FOR ME TO CHECK IT WITH!! i do bring it in to get it serviced(level checked by the dealer).
what about all the other fluids? if you drain your radiator and replace the antifreeze with new one and top off with water. do you keep your receipts?
how about if your brake system fails and you get in a crash and the diagnosis was that there was air in the line from when the brake system had to be worked on last week and you had to drain all the fluid out and replace it and there was some trapped air left inside because you were in a hurry. not the brake pads failing but the internal system due to personal error. do you keep a receipt for this, when you bought new brake fluid?
what about an approved power steering fluid additive? or fuel additive? or oil additive? still keeping receipts? where does it stop? why begin, as long as it is documented on paper, not a receipt. sure the receipt will let them know that you are "not lying".
every car that i have bought or owned, i have never been told to keep my receipts on anything if doing it myself. i've never had a problem with the dealerships for not having a receipt and these have been ford, dodge and honda dealerships. can you tell me exactly where on paperwork does it say to keep a receipt on anything dealing with my vehicle if i do the repair myself?
