i have been lurking here since taking posession of my 04 durango ltd with the hemi. while at the dealership having a minor tweak done to my nav/radio the service manager tried to sell me an oil change two-way sneeze-thru windvents star-studded mud guards...........musta been a slow day. i told him that i had already had a change at 500 mi. with 5w-30 dino and would change again at 2k before going to full synthetic around 4k. this is an approach which i have used over multiple vehicles the theory being to get the chips out early while allowing the best ring seating during break in by sticking with dino. he told me 1. this is totally unnecessary due to modern manufacturing tolerances. 2. despite the owners manual calling for 5w-30 there was a tsb suggesting/requiring use of 5w-20 in all hemis. they use a semi-synthetic. any comments on the above 5w-20 seems awfully light to me. over the years ive used mobil-1 royal purple and amsoil in various vehicles. any comments on which is thought to be best nowadays tia mopartee i can relate to you this little story that happened in early september just before walnut harvest. we have 210 acres of walnuts and for the last 40 years our oil of choice for our tractors pump engines processing machinery and fleet of trucks including personal vehicles has been union 76. well starting a couple years ago it started getting harder to find. auto parts stores stopped carrying it. service stations dont keep much of it around we order in drums. finally a guy from woolsey oil in lodi came out and delivered two drums of... havoline! my brother and i never bought havoline before; we always viewed alot of those as not being very good. above our protests the guy told us that many of the proprietary brands are disappearing now because all the base stock for oils now on the market comes from one of three source refiners. the producers then take the base stock and mix with their additive package which in many cases is a standard package purchased from an outside source bottle it and ship it to stores. he claims most oils now available are manufactured that way and that over 80% of every quart is the same stuff. anyway so far nothing has froze up on us. good luck. ken .
