0w20 MS-6395 Dodge Dart

[GumbyJarvis]

After this deployment, I will go back to Fort Hood and have my parents there with my car.
Regardless, it has Anyway, it will be making a 1,700 mi trip to Texas from Florida, than again when I go on leave, and go back to Texas after leave, in a span of 2 months, it will accumulate 4,900 +/- a few miles just in highway travel between fl and tx. Not including driving I'll do while in Florida on leave, and in Texas before I go on leave.

Pretty sure OCIs are 10,000 miles, I need an oil that " is formulated to meet Chrysler MS-6395" that's 0w-20, also looking for a filter that's my cars size... Oh, and im not going to mess with anything, rather not mess with a warranty


Here's what I'm thinking thus far,
Mann oil filter ML 1030, as I own a few from close out (who woulda thunk it, I had these before the car)



Though, if I go to the dealer, I'm pretty sure my first 4 oil changes are free at any dodge/mopar dealer. So I'm lost on what to do... I do want to tinker and see how to do an oc on it, but if it's free at the dealer, why not?


Im seeing AMSOIL Signature Series, xl, and oe all conform to MS6395
What else?

I don't think it's a hard spec to pass. I know Pennzoil Platinum 0w20 meets it but if Toyota Genuine 0w20 was on the list it would be my go to choice.

Don't forget the API certification( Starburst on front of bottle ). AMSOIL Signature Series while a fine oil is not API certified. XL and OE are however and would do fine.

Royal Purple API meets MS6395 and is API Certified in 0W20 and would be another good oil.

I would use the dealer free OCI's!
Let the dealer start documenting your maintenance for warranty. Regardless of the oil the dealer uses, your FL to TX and back, will be easy driving with the Dart(mostly hiwy)

And this type of hiwy driving will be beneficial for you new engine as well.

Valvoline Synpower also meets the MS-6395 spec.

Pennzoil Ultra, Pennzoil Platinum, Quaker State Ultimate Durability, Kendall full synthetic or synthetic blend would all serve you well.
