Hello everyone,
I picked up a used 2005 RT with 18K miles on saturday.
I want to change my oil tomorrow and I would like to know what is "recommended"
I am in South Florida where it is hot all year long.



Is is hard to change?
I had a 99 Dakota and changing it was a piece of cake.
Is it recommended or even good to use prolong in the Hemi Engine?

One last thing....
Looking to buy a 6CD/Mp3 OEM Player, anybody has one for sale?

 

make sure you use the correct weight oil or the MDS won't work correctly and your gas mileage will go to the dumps.
use only 5w-20 and nothing else. i only use Mobil 1 5w-20

changing the oil yourself is a very easy job. you need to remove the four 10mm headed bolts holding the lower splash pan on. then everything is right there and easy to reach.

 

I just did my 1st oil change.(2600mies) I use Mobil 1 5w20 and recommend the same. I plan to run the oil 6k miles but change the filter at every 3k.
As stated before its and easy change for a DIY'er. You'll need an oil filter cap wrench as a strap wrench will not fit up there. If your working with a floor jack just lift the right front and use a jack stand. 10mm for skid cover and 13mm for oil plug. Don't over tighten them.

 

I use napa gold filters and Royal purple 5w20 winter 5w30 summer. Change oil every 10k and filter every 5k.
