Run the first change out to the factory interval. Use up your free dealer oil changes then look in the what oil you want to run in it.

Yes, a UOA is a waste at these early miles.


"You'll see higher break in metals and we expect them to trend down. Your Hemi looks like others at this mileage. Try 8,000 miles next time."

That's what Blackstone would say and I've just saved you $40.


Thanks for the $40 savings! LOL
I really didn't want to run 10k on the first oil change and I got exactly 0 free oil changes with purchase


What dealer doesn't give you at least 2-3 free oil changes?

For a moment, I thought you were talking about the car from A Clockwork Orange...

Alex: The Durango-95 purred away real horrorshow, a nice, warm vibraty feeling all through your guttiwuts.
