The handbook in my Australian delivered 12 Dodge Journey 3.6 has an interesting oil recommendation
API certified oil meeting MS 6395 yada yada or
For Countries that use ACEA engine oils - ACEA C3 meeting 229.51 or 229.31
For the 2.4L engine that should take MS 6395 5w20, they even allow the above ACEA specs "if 5w20 is not available". That's handy because finding one would really be near impossible.
What gives?
This got me thinking, most top end synthetics that meet A1/B1 and or A5/B5 are not MS-6395 approved. Could it be that they don't meet the spec due to the SA%?
