We bought a Chrysler Pacifica new in 2007. It has the 4.0L and requires 10w-30. When it was newer and my wife commuted 60 miles a day on the interstate, I used synthetic oil and changed around 4500. (Max mileage allowed under warranty was 5k, interestingly.) Now, the last few years, she's been able to stay home with our kids.That means a lot of short runs to school, etc., but few miles per month. So, I've gotten in the habit of 6 month OCIs and have used some Mobil 5000 and Chevron Supreme I've found on clearance or rebate.
I'm about to do an oil change and wonder what some here think of a conventional's ability to last 6 months in a moderate climate in a garage-kept family car. Mileage is usually between 2k and 3k in that span. FWIW, the car has 111k.
