decided to start DIY oil changes on my '15 Jeep Patriot (2.4L 4-banger & 6-speed auto transmission); my dealer 'freebie' was suppossedly Pennzoil Platinum 5w-20 oil & Mopar oil filter...changed out oil/filter with 3405 miles (6905 total miles on vehicle); without truly knowing if I had synthetic in the engine I wasn't going to risk a 7000 mile OCI; with that stated...
what I bought to use was Pennzoil conventional 5w-20 x 12 qts, Pennzoil Platinum 5w-20 x 3 qts, Napa ProSelect 27060 filters x 3; plan is to mix 1 qt PP with 4 qts PYB & use proper amount needed to fill engine...each change gets a Napa ProSelect filter; planned OCI is @ 3500-4000 miles; am I on the right track for a synthetic blend to increase protection over straight conventional? thanks...
