Lets see some opinions on the best motor oil out there. Regular or synthetic? What oil filters and what brands?
Okay... I thought I was done being told to color within the lines at 36K. I will stick with 0W-30 M1 AFE w/ a NAPA 7060 at 36K and change at 8K intervals. Maybe.Not being a tool here but why are you waiting to go to 5W30 until after your 3/36 warranty expires when you are already running the wrong weight in the 0W30? May as well do it now if you prefer 5W30 because 0W30 is going to cause you just as many headaches as 5W will if you have any internal engine issues.
The performance aspects of the oil don't matter. It is the weight. Chrysler calls for 5W20 in US Jeeps not 0W30 with 20 weight like statistics. You could get away with 0W20 more than likely but 0W30 will cause you the same warranty hassles as 5W30. Both 5W and 0W 30 oils are 30 weight at operating temp. The 0W and 5W are nothing more than cold flow ratings.
Again, not starting anything but you said the same thing on BITOG and you didn't answer me there when I asked the same basic question of you. 30 weight is 30 weight as far as warranty goes. 0W, 5W, 10W won't matter. All Chrysler will see is that 30. If you want to stay warranty compliant you need to run 20 weight.
Also, don't forget you have a 5 year 100K powertrain warranty as well. More than just a 3/36 to worry about.
Again, why talk about trying to stay within warranty if you are going to continue running the wrong weight? 0W30 does not meet your warranty requirements.Okay...
