The cobra's were almost 400 hp (I think..please correct me) vs. 230 stock for the SRT. A stock cobra will eat a stock srt alive. They are very, very nice cars. But let's face it..when you are shopping for cars, it's a whole lot easier to appease the other half by bringing home a "neon" that by...

Thanks for all the replies. I bought the car used (w/approx 4k miles on the odo.). I talked to the previous owner and ran a carfax on it before I would consider it. Seems this guy bought it for his wife. They took a trip to Myrtle Beach then she decided she wanted something a little bit bigger...

I used AUTO RX previously on an 2001 ACR neon with good results. I now own a 2004 SRT-4 and use M1 5/30 and K&N filters at 2500-3000 mile oci. The SRT has just over 20k miles and I was wondering if auto rx was safe to use on a turbo. The car isnt driven near as hard as most of them are (probably...

I have a 2004 dodge SRT-4 that has a 2.4 dohc turbo. It has just under 12K miles and to date I have been using only Mobil 1 5w30. I guess everyone has seen the ads for the new quaker state oils (high rpm...4x4, etc..)and was curious as to what everyone thinks about the new oils and what you...

Thanks for the post and new member or not..all opinons/info is welcome. The SRT-4's are similar in that they have dedicated oil feed/return lines but unless i'm mistaken (which has happened ) they use water lines to help cool the oil, similar in concept to how Ford uses engine coolant to cool...

I appreciate all the info folks. I didnt mean for my post to infer that I wanted to change from M1 5w30. It's just that I want to keep this motor going as long as possible and just because i'm using a good oil doesnt mean there isnt a better one out there. That being said, it looks like I will...

Good Morning all...long time lurker, first time post. I am in need of educated opinions and obective recommendations. I own a 2001 ACR Neon w/60k miles. Aside from the first couple oil changes, the car has had nothing but synthetic it's entire life. Neons have always had a problem w/piston slap...
