If there were issues, Mopar/Dodge would be the first to know, and the first to let customers know. Engineers came up with the oil recommendations for a reason. Better fuel milage. Thats it. The only reason OEM's require 0 weight oil. Blame it on the govt

the much tighter tollerances in the modern engines is why they need 0 weight, the thicker it gets the more it is like glue with that tight and precise of a tollerance. MPG on a demon or even a hellcat is insignificant. If they thought it was going to destroy and engine with that 60K warranty and they could solve it by recomending 5 or 10 weight they would be all over it.

I would be more concerned with voiding the warranty than blowing up my engine while it's still under said warranty... Dealers will try to find any stupid little reason to deny a warranty repair. I know there was a guy on YouTube with a Hellcat Charger, something broke in the supercharger system and his dealer refused to fix the car under warranty because he had an aftermarket cold-air intake. He finally did get it fixed for free but not after a whole bunch of legal BS getting second and third opinions and communicating directly with FCA on the issue which took a few months IIRC.

I would not use any oil that was not factory fill. The oil was formulated specifically for the engines. Very different oil than reg syn.

The only reason OEM's require 0 weight oil. Blame it on the govt The ignorance in this statement is overwhelming and a prime example of why the OP should listen to the manufacturer and not some internet clown. Do you even know what 0w40 means? No, you do not. Educate yourself http://www.upmpg.com/tech_articles/motoroil_viscosity/
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
