What are people using for oil changes? I'm looking to do an oil and filter change - using Mopar oil filter and want to use a quality oil. Any ideas?

There's quite a few "what oil" threads and they can get pretty heated :D Basically any good quality oil that meets the standards set out in your manual will do the job. Mine recommends full synthetic so I use a full-syn Mobil 1.

Oops don't want to start a war! I'll have a look around for some of those threads. Thanks :)

Whatever weight your owners manual specifies and whatever brand you are loyal to!
These day's all name brand oil is good oil.
I use Castrol Dyno oil because that is what I have used in all my vehicles.
Including a vehicle that shares it's engine oil with the transmission!
And it costs me $9.90 for 5 liters!
Hard to beat, and with close to 240,000.0 Km on the clock it works well.

The main thing is you use good oil and a good filter and change it regularly.


Here is your castrol oil on 10k OCI's,and no not caused by coolant leaks.
