I would pay a little more than go to Walmart. Down with Walmart. I would not trust any thing from Walmart since they stock like 99% from China and what Good has any thing came from China but Recalling the Crap that they Make!
I thought I had tossed in my $0.02, but apparently not. Pennzoil dead lizards in all vehicles: 5W-20 regular in the 300C, and 5W-30 Hi Mileage in the Ram and the Camry.
Castrol GTX 10W-30 and WIX in my '04 Ram 4.7L, with a hint of Lucas Oil Synthetic. Anybody that I know that has any kind of an opinion about motor oil around here says Castrol is the least sludgy.
well when i do the switch to syn it most likely will be royal purple, i have used that for the last 8 years in both my vehicles. now the new hemi is not due yet but K&N filter and the RP oil when due.
I did my oil change with castrol gtx and my mileage really has increased with easy driving. it claims to have sldge protection and maybe its right. i also used a wix filter.
When I do my first oil change, I am wondering if I can do it myself rather than the dealer. Will that void the lifetime warranty? The dealer uses Castrol. I want to use synthetic and a good filter. I am guessing they use a Mopar filter? Who makes those?
I am not that worried about Castrol (I have used that in my Honda and it has 230K miles on it), but would like to take special care with my new rig and use Royal Purple.
you can change your own oil and the warr is good keep all your recipets and a log. we use mobil 5w20 on all gas eng's and mobil 15w 40 low sulpher on all diesels
