My dealer is still telling me to stick with 10W-30, although I plan to use 0W-30 this winter to avoid dry starts where most of the engine wears occurs. I might have to pick up some of that 10W-40 next summer, I can't believe a 30 weight oil can handle the temps in a SRT-4, syn oil, or not....

we sell it at work. its is the only oil "authorized" for the crossfire. people who bring their crossfires in for LOFs get that oil, and the daimler filter. i know the parts cost is arounf 60 bucks..not sure on the labor..

however, the 0w-40 boxes we have has the crossfire on the box..


that make it worth 60 bucks..

There's no way I'll ever use dino oil again, not even if I buy another vehcile after this SRT-4. I've been impressed with the way it holds up.

I'm sure its been available before now...but I'll bet its cheaper at Walmart.

I'm not gonna use it, but for those of you in cold weather, it might be the ticket.
