My 2008 4.7 has the oil fill and pcv valve in the valve cover. I have never seen anything on the cap with that design.

Thats because you have a 2008 Durango which is different then the 2000-2002 that the problem lie. These are two completely different puppies. You D had the problem taken care of and is a complete different design.

That design change was a major factor, that and the hp increase, in choosing that vehicle over a previous year.

and it should be broken down by temperature range, use the one which covers the range of temperatures that closest fits the area you live in

It needs to be 10W-30 or for very cold environments 5W-30. But if you use Fully Synthetics 10W-30.


5W-20????? Where did you get the information to run that???????
