i know there are many posts on this but they are from 1-2 years old.. I was wondering what would be the best oil for my motor?? how is 10w-40?? also i know to use MOBIL 1.. just wanna know what people are using..

 

i use 0w40 when i can find it, 5w30 otherwise.

 

what about 10-40?

 

I use 10W-40 in the killer summer months down here, in the winter I go with 5W-30 or 10W-30 depending on the stock at Wally World.

I use 5w -30 and I have never seen 0-40 where did you get that?

 

5w 30 Mobil One only and always. Cheapest at Wal-Mart and it is a 5 qt jug, not 4. I believe I have seen it in 4qt containers before. Pay attention. This car takes exactly 5 qts with a filter change.
Change your tranny fluid once a year too. It takes 3 qts.I use Redline oils C+ transfluid for Chryslers. Last year I ran Straight C+ with no additives and was very happy. This year, I'm running 2.5 qts C+ and .5 qt Lucas synthetic oil stabilizer and am very happy so far. Does not feel much different, but the Lucas adds some viscosity, lubricity and gear climbing abilityto the translube. The Lucas can be used up to 50% of the fluid volume but I think that would be too heavy unless I was in the desert and road racing. Right now I'm at 16% and have no ill side effects.

 

i prefer to use 710 inmy car. usually 5W-30

 

well i'm going to go with 0w-40

 

I use royal purple since first oil change, got a lot of miles on er, still running strong.

 

I use only Mobil One so far, but I'd be good with any of the other top synthetics like R. Purp, Redline, Amsoil.Your good as long as you stick with synthetics.
