Hello everyone!
This is my first post on BITOG. Great forum, lots of information, looks like a lot of assistance and advise is offered too !
My vehicle is a Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 5.7L Hemi. New vehicle, has 4500 miles on it.
These vehicles come with a 10,000 miles OCI, but I want to change the oil and filter now. (new engine, residue, break in period, etc...)
I already added 1/2 qt. of oil since the dip stick showed the oil to be low.
I'd appreciate advise on the following questions :
1. Chrysler says conventional oil works fine for the Hemi. I want to go with PU 5W20. Any benefits I can expect to see?
2. I paid $99 to the dealer for 3 oil changes when I bought the vehicle. He didn't mention it was for conventional oil only. I prefer to change the oil and filter myself. Is there a way to get the money back?
3. Has anyone used 0W20 PU for a Hemi engine instead of the 5W20 specification? I live in MI, so I'm already thinking about the cold starts during winter...
Please advise! Thanks in advance!
