Default Oil Change

10w30 or what? I thought it said something different in the owners manual. What do you guys use? Where do you get the filters from? I know I have seen one with a nut on the bottom of easy removal.

Thanks.

If you don't use Mobil-1...you'll VOID the warranty. And it doesn't take a even amount of oil. Be sure to have a Viper Mech. change it for you the first time and he'll tell you how much.
Useually they take a little less than 10-qts.

A little less that 10 quarts is sort of right, but to be exact it is 8.5 quarts if you change the filter, which you should always do. I also run M1, 10W-30. It is possible they changed the weight from year to year. If you have a 2004 it is 10W-30 for a very wide temperature range. I think it is lighter if it gets very cold, like 0F, I never worry about that as I do not drive it in the winter and I know Quick lives in perpetual sunshine.For 05 and 06, I can not confirm. Check the cap, if not on the oil cap then it will be in your manual.

Also check out the DIY post, I have a oil DIY for the SRT Ram posted amoung a few other items.
