My 05 calls for 5w-20, I just checked. Does that mean mine is MDS? The salesman said it wasn't. When did MDS start?
No, you have some bad info there. 05 was the first year they recommended 5W-20, had nothing to do with MDS motors. MDS started with some 06 models.

RE: Oil grades.
My bad, I was fool enough to believe another post and pass it on. You are correct, my '04 calls for 5/30 and the '05's started calling for 5/20 as per Chrysler. Last time I believe a post on a forum on the internet...

RE: Oil grades.
It's no problem Hammer. I just wanted to make sure what I had.
I wonder why they changed the weight to 5w-20.

RE: Oil grades.
Somebody, in an article in a magazine, quoted a Dodge engineer saying it was to improve emissions. For all we know it was just a typo in the manuals. LOL
