i would. the valvoline is $5.50-$6.00 per quart, from napa, advance, autozone, etc. the mopar is probably dealer only, at mega-bucks per qt. the walmart is not that much cheaper, at $4 or so.

advance has the best gasket and filter kit. its a nice rubberized gasket that holds the pan bolts while you crawl under the car. i don't like the cork gaskets as well. don't overtighten the pan bolts.

i recommend that everyone put in a drain plug. dorman part number 65241 is one. you can put it in the side or the bottom. just place it where it doesn't hit anything on the inside, and put it on one of the flat spots.

i learned something good about Advance the other day. they told me they could order anything that was in stock at the distribution center in Atlanta, about 60 miles away, and have it there in within about 4 hours. i ordered a seal at 5:00 in the afternoon, and they had it there at 7:30 the next morning. i thought that was damn good.
