LOL Who the hell told you that ?You are suppose to use full synthetic.It says right in the owner manuel to use 5-W30 fully syn oil.They even say to use moble 1.But i done know alot about what is good oli brands and what not.I have always used mobl-1 and it seems to be fine in my car.The car is going to burn any kind of oil fast just like it does to gas LOL.Its a turbo car every thing goes fast in are cars.You need syn oil because your car is turbo.They need that type of oil.So dont worry about who ever told you that .

i don't have an SRT4 but I know that mobil 1 oil is one of the best oils you can run in the car.

Anyone who tells you a fully synthetic is bad for your car is not correct. Yes sometimes running fully sythetic oil does burn a bit more than regular, but that is because it is such a good lubricant and sometimes slips into places the regular stuff cannot

my uncle has a PT cruiser with the turbo.. I have been told it uses the similar engine to the SRT4

And if it does do something with hp,you might not tell cause its such a small amount. ERIC
