Amen brother, amen.

BTW, 71RoadRunner, I know you've done "battle" with the pro-Amsoil folks before...I recently bought some to put in my SRT-4 at the next 90 day oil change. I was looking at the company web site and it states that for turbo gas engines we can go for "3 times longer or 6 months"...they do say that any mods will change that recommendation. I was reading the label of one of the jars of Amsoil that I bought (yes, I AM bored, it's raining outside and there isn't crap on TV) and the back label says "Change oil in turgocharged engines as recommended by vehicle manufacturer." Their web site needs to catch up with their product. Also, the label now addresses the issue you wrote about, the 25,000 mile oil change. Now, after the claim for 25,000 miles OR 12 months between oil changes, it adds in small print "When used in mechanically sound non-turbocharged engines."

SRT-4 owners should realize that due to the demands of the 2.4 DOHC turbo engine, NO motor oil should be expected to hold up past the factory recommended oil change periods. Good quality engine oil is cheap insurance (especially compared to a rebuild job) and will go a long way towards a happy and fast SRT-4! [sm=smiley20.gif][sm=smiley32.gif][sm=smiley1.gif]

 

Yep. Synthetic oil in a turbocharged engine is a must if you want to keep it going goog for many years. I prefer Mobil 1 because of the factory recommendation, previous experience with it and availability of it. I have also used Amsoil and it was just fine as well, no complaints.

I would love an AWD SRT-4 with adjustable power transfer, so you could change it to RWD if you want.[sm=smiley4.gif]

 

Really? Refresh my memory, what section of the tax code is that under?

 

It's been well known and mentioned before on news programs. It's part of the US encouraging people from foreign countrys to come and live here, an incentive. In doing so they get everything paid for with our tax dollars, housing, schooling, food, businesses, etc. All the money that they earn is theirs to keep, 100% tax free for the first 7 years that they are here. I do not know where it is written, but I have known of ones that have benefitted from this. If I find out the details on this online, I will post a link to it.

 

When I lived in North Carolina, I worked with a lady from India who told me the same thing. They came here with very little $$, and within 3 years owned several stores and were custom building their own home.

 

I wish we could get that kind of a deal.[sm=smiley7.gif][sm=smiley19.gif]
