2019 Scat Pack / Oil Interval

[Denali33]

Car is not a daily and have owned her since new. It's a 2019 and has 10k on it. Usually a weekend car. I've always gone per the manual every 6 months for oil. I guess now that I'm older and lazier it just seems overkill but I do it anyways.
I figure Dodge/Stellantis/FCA/(whatever there called now) and certainly there SRT division know better than me.. But thoughts? I have other cars where I don't feel bad doing it once a year (K24 4 popper) can the oil degrade that much in 6 months or...anyone know the approach here? Cars using Pennzoil OEM Spec

What oil are you using in this Car?

The oil won't degrade while sitting in the engine. The 6-month requirement exists to account for vehicles that are short-tripped with a cold engine on a regular basis, since it forces an oil change at lower mileage on these vehicles.

If this is a weekend car that spends most of its time at full operating temperature, a 1-year/2k mile OCI is more than often enough.

Pennzoil OEM Spec

Pennzoil OEM Spec

Is this 5W-20 or 5W-30?

0W-40 for the 392

Once a year if it was my car, with OE recommended oil, filter change as well.
Nice ride by the way.
I work at a Dodge, Ram, Jeep store.

Pennzoil ultra platinum 0w40 or Mobil 1 super car 0w40 once a year sounds good.

I've owned 4x 6.4's at this point starting with a 2014 Charger SRT8. I could never bring myself to pay for what I feel is a pretty neutered 0W-40 compared to the one it replaced (M1 Euro 0W-40), essentially being an overpriced API SN 5W-30 in drag. I'm now using @High Performance Lubricants Super Car 0W-40 in my SRT Grand Cherokee, but previously was using Ravenol SSL 0W-40 and before that both Castrol Euro 0W-40 and Mobil1 FS 0W-40. All oils designed as full-SAPS LL-01/A40/229.5/502 00 ...etc approval levels.

I ignore the time limitation and just change by the OLM.

Nice car !

Do you have extended warranty? If so OCI need to be kept up for any warranty issues. No warranty. Do what makes you all warm and fuzzy.

That is a dream car…..I’d go once per year as recommended.
