I just bought a 2005 Sebring . I know the 1998-2002 models are known sludgers and have self destructed on occasion. I just picked up this 2005 with 30,000 miles on her.My questions to those in the know are:
Didn't chrysler eliminate the sludging problem after 2002? If so how?
Can I still use a...
I know I don't have a chance at making it past 4,000 miles. That's why I don't let myself spend more than $1.50 on oil. I've found it just as rewarding as changing my oil to find a case of Havoline, Pennzoil or QS for less than 2 dollars a quart. I also tell myself my 4.0L engine would rather...
AAP down here has Deposit Shield for $2.79 a quart or $18.60 for a case. I bet they haven't changed the price tag for the cases yet because that means a case is $1.55 a quart. Hmmm, I think I'm gonna have to go burst their bubble tomorrow when they try to charge me $30... haha
Right now I am using 10w-30. I also have 12 more quarts Hav 10w-30 and 6 5w-30. But for summer only applications I figured straight 30 would be great here in the sunshine state. If anything I could get to blending some 30 w/ 10w-30.
I haven't seen this anywhere by me except at Fred's. They have SL Sae 30wt for $1.54 a quart. Just wanted to compare prices before going and buying a dozen or so quarts for my 4.0L Wrangler. If it's not that great of a price then I'll pass.
coolman, the 10w-40 won't really hurt a bit. I would only use it during the summer here though. Since you know what I mean when I say mild winter, I would say a 5w-xx isn't really necessary. It's over 75 degrees here today.
