EXCUSE ME for asking a question from someone who proclaimed he had done a ton of research on these oils and the requirements of the SRT cars .... Doc I'm not here to have a back and forth like this with anyone, cool your engines. On that note, I would like to also point out that some of the forums that I extracted RESEARCH from did have and may still have live Q/A sessions with members of the SRT engineering team on occasion. Something to look into.

No offence taken, So if I did choose to run Amsoil I could without hurting my warranty? not sure, but just asking.
I did get the oil changed and was asked are you sure you want your oil changed with only 1300?? I asked "if i don't will i have any warranty issues??????" he said you better change your oil. I said lets not put off to tomorrow what you can be doing right now. total bill $108.64
Not bad plus I got to spend the entire afternoon and evening of uninterrupted time with my wife!!! that is priceless!!!
Thank you Kiddart

$108??? Totally worth it. You're time is valuable. Let someone else do it and these are the same people that see these cars everyday so they can tell you if something is out of place. Now when your warranty runs out, thats an expensive oil change. Since they are in bed w pennzoil, amsoil probably won't cut it.....even though its a superior product. mopJ ... BUT HOW about the time spent at the dealer ? I called a dealer ... it’s about a 30 minute job .... THAT IS IF they have an opening ... I asked them RIGHT NOW .... wait time was about an hour ... plus the time it takes to do the actual task Amsoil superior ? ... pray tell !

I’d like to hear from people who have gone in that direction. NOT to abuse the car and not do proper maintenance.... I’m not suggesting NOT using the correct engine oil. LIKE .. putting a light duty trailer hitch on it for a bike rack or towing a jet ski ....

Doc Fiberglass my hourly rate is much more than $108 per hour. so it was money well spent. this is a toy not a daily driver. and if you need to know, i also bought the 10 year warranty as well for the extra money. it is piece of mind for me and my wife not anyone else. so yes my time is worth plenty.
Racer Hog the oil was only a few days old, the car came off the line and onto the transport truck the first week of September shipped to the dealer unloaded on the 9th of September and i took delivery on the 11th day of September 2020. the car is a one of one according to FCA records and a total 419 Scat Pack 1320's were built in 2020, so i think the car is worth giving it some respect and tender loving care from my eyes.
I am not sure why or how this thread became a cost of the oil change to the worth of ones time. I love being on Moparts but sometimes most just need to not worry about others financial situations.
I appreciate all the concern and comments and have read them all carefully as to not twist them.
it comes down to warranty and i don't want to screw that up at all.
thank you all
Thank you Kiddart

WELL good fur YOU ..,, 3 ninety TWO ! Ten year warranty??!! But STILL .... if it’s TIME that’s most important... DIY still wins that battle The time driving to the dealer and the waiting for them to get it on the rack then actually doing the OC. AND be sure they use the 12633 oil ! Now if you don’t like getting your hands dirty .... thats anutter story

Hi All,
Need some advise all my other cars get oil changed at 5000 miles according to service records and manual. I have not opened up the manual because i want to keep things preserved as delivered best i can.
what say you?? Manuals are available online as a pdf download. I change my cars according to the manuals. I never hit the mileage, but do it based on time frame in the owner manual or when the light comes on. I have lifetime powertrain warranties on 2 of the 3 and don't want to void the warranty over saving $40 (or what ever it costs) for an oil change.

Now if you don’t like getting your hands dirty .... thats anutter story This is exactly why I do it myself, hate waiting on dealer, they're always trying to sell me another car or something else too while I'm waiting. And honestly, I really don't trust them either. Last time I had an alignment done, I found a 18mm wrench in the engine compartment when I got home, and that was on my 70
