I was wondering what peoples opinions are on a recommended oil for the infamous 2.7L V6 for the 2001 Intrepid. There have been problems with the earlier model 2.7's with sludge.
I purchased my Intrepid in May with approximately 17800 Kms on it. Put in Gearhead Full (Group III) Synthethic 5w30 in at 19,671 Kms on July 11, 2003. Checks at regular intervals revealed no noticeable consumption and light honey brown appearance. I checked the oil today and it was a noticeable darker brown so got it changed for Mobil 1 w/Supersyn 5w30. Will be mailing out a sample for a UOA for the Gearhead oil to Blackstone Labs shortly.
Any other suggestions on oils?
