5w-30 for Turbo GDI

[SR5]

No. A sequence is gasoline engines, higher SAPS. B sequence are old diesel sequences. C is newer, Lower SAPS sequences (A3 and C3 are HTHS compatible, but differentiate in SAPS). E is commercial sequence.
A3 are more stringent sequence than A5. Castrol Edge 0W30, 0W40, Mobil1 0W40 etc. are A3, and you ain't gonna find A5 oils offering protection, especially for turbo engines like those oils.

Breath.......joke

The FTC should put Cryslet/FCA/Stellantis on notice as well. For almost a decade now they're telling customers in the owner's manual that they need to use SOPUS motor oils otherwise their warranty coverage might be voided.

Interesting, neither one of mine say that. Suppose both of mine are misprints?

From the Jeep OM:
Engine Oil Selection — 2.0L Engine For best performance and maximum protection under all types of operating conditions, the manufacturer only recommend engine oils that are API SN PLUS certified and meet the requirements of FCA Material Standard MS13340. An equivalent full synthetic engine oil can be used if it meets API SN PLUS Certification. If SN PLUS or equivalent oil is unavailable then please contact your local dealership for recommendation.

From the 1500 OM:
Engine Oil Viscosity (SAE Grade) — 5.7L Engine Mopar SAE 5W-20 engine oil approved to FCA Material Standard MS-6395 such as Pennzoil, Shell Helix, or equivalent is recommended for all operating temperatures. This engine oil improves low temperature starting and vehicle fuel economy. The engine oil filler cap also shows the recommended engine oil viscosity for your engine. For information on engine oil filler cap location, refer to the “Engine Compartment” illustration in this section. Lubricants which do not have both the engine oil certification mark and the correct SAE viscosity grade number should not be used.

For almost a decade now they're telling customers in the owner's manual that they need to use SOPUS motor oils otherwise their warranty coverage might be voided. Never mind the overpriced Mopar branded fluids. In some situations, it's so bad that you don't even know which overpriced Mopar fluid to buy, like for the **** BW44-44 transfer. Mine is a 2016 RAM 1500 and I don't even know which fluid to get, and the dealership isn't 100% sure, but I might void my warranty if I get the wrong one. I just got some Amsoil Multi-Vehicle ATF and called it a day. I would love for the FTC to put an end to this Mopar/SOPUS fluids nonsense.

It will probably be easier for you just to say Stellantis and leave out the rest of the misspells. FCA is no more and there never was a Cryslet.

0w30 is a 30 grade oil and if that is what Stellantis recommends then it should be fine. 5w30 will be much easier to find though.

I see here that 5w20 is recommended so that clears things up.

This stupid company still did not figured out that there is no such thing as ACEA A5 or above. Amazing!
Get Mobil1 ESP 5W30 on sale at NAPA. You hardly can go better than that.

I agree, or Mobil 1 ESP 0W40 would work well too.

Yep. It’s pretty clear what they recommend, and don’t recommend, and it clearly does not state you have to use SOPUS products to maintain the warranty.

The Gamma 1.6 T-GDI in my Elantra GT N-line will see only Amsoil SS 5W30.
