Thank you for your great explanation. Anyhow I put the 10W-40 as per my manual. In any case I think it is a Chrysler mistake thinking that all spanish speaking countries are tropical ones. Maybe they think Spain is somewhere near Mexico... very typical.

I would like to see a Picture of your manual where it says that if I may.

If you can read in Spanish, this is where it talks about the recommended oil: Image

Sure enough .... it's what it says, thank you.



Makes me wonder if we can trust our manual.

There is actually a contradiction between both manuals, because this one says 5W-40 is only for when temperature is below -10 C and that is only in places like Alaska or Antartica.

Does the manual indicate what the oil change intervals should be?
