of course its a dodge.. i was just reading a post about the oil.. do you need to buy a specific brand no. you need an oil that meets the ci-4 spec. shell rotella-t 15w40 and valvoline premium blue 15w40 are two examples. as long as the oil says it meets to ci-4 spec youre fine. do some brands produce an odor when you drive yep. rotella has a rather unique odor to it for the first couple of hundred miles. to me it just reminds me that i put fresh oil in it .
