Default What weight oil to use?

I don't have the manual for the Durango I just bought, does it's 4.7L engine use 5w-30 oil like my Dakota with the same engine does? Common sense says yes but I wanted to double check with you guys. It's a 2000 Dodge Durango 4.7L V8 4x4 automatic.

5w30 sounds right.

After 20 years the original wheels on mine were pretty grungy, so I got a set of refinished rt wheels.

5W30 is what's in the manual. Oil has come a long way since then. 5W20 has been standard fill for all 4.7 at Dodge dealerships for many years. I've run full syn 0W20 for years with 7.5K mi changes.
