I come to the BITOG gurus once again. My situation is this. I am giving my son a 2009 Dodge Journey 4 cylinder with about 95,000 miles on it. It has had regular oil changes every 7500 miles with Pennzoil Platinum 5W-20 and Fram filters. Looking with a flashlight through the oil cap hole, everything looks clean as a whistle. Doesn't hardly use a drop between oil changes. Absolutely no engine problems other than having to replace a MAP sensor.
Giving this car to my son, it's likely he isn't going to be as fastidious about oil changes as I was. My question is this, what would be the best oil and filter combo for a more put it in and forget it scenario? Would the same oil and filter combo be adequate? I'll probably change it with him once a year when he comes home for the summer.
Thanks in advance!
