Don't try and save money on something so important says me. Get some Amsoil or even just Mobil 1. Doc is trying to ensure whatever he uses meets spec for warranty purposes. I think (Doc knows this topic better than I) there is a specific Mopar spec.

I think (Doc knows this topic better than I) there is a specific Mopar spec. But PacMan..... that certain 5 number spec and the SRT logo .... I HAVE HEARD ... is just payola ! I’ve talked to a few dealers and no one can really explain the need for that spec .... PLUS ..... Look at the oil fill cap .... it says NOTHING about ANY SPEC other that synthetic and 0-40.

Please refer to THE ABOVE post. I bought FIVE 5ers valvoline last year ... I’m now THIS MONTH going to be on my last change. Those 5ers are supposed to have been dropped....

I need a new source Ok, now I think we may be getting somewhere, gonna make another attempt-- are you just looking for a well built synthetic that can be acquired easily and at reasonable cost? If this is the case, Mobile or Amsoil is going to keep you safe. It will NOT affect your warranty. I would caution you again, use that weight oil only. Do not "experiment" with other weights. No one touches walmart for their Mobile prices-period. Amsoil- thats another story. Somebody on this board is probably a dealer and may pass their savings on to you. I will also restate that I do not have any websites or research paper proof from any dealer, only my own experiences and then the ones culled from several different internet forums.

When I say Amsoil I am pulling together everything I recall reading and hearing over a lot of years and trying to weed out other stuff and Amsoil is what I come up with. Maybe it's $3.00 more a quart or something like that? I don't know but that would be about $25 an oil change? Is that really a big deal in the big picture?

I don't understand why just for the 6.4's? It says the 12633 for frequent short trips. Also is it only in 0W-40?
