Default Thanks for the recommendatiions!

I spoke with another EcoDiesel owner and he stated that Chrysler was modifying the oil spec from current 5W-30 to 5W-40 (he stated he saw it on a Chrysler/Dodge forum). Wondering if that is true?

Glad I popped in today. I heard this in a video about EcoDiesel, but took it the other way around. so 5w-40 FTW
