1. 2004 Neon SRT-4 91,XXX miles 100whp over stock. (340whp)
2. "For best performance and maximum protection under all types of operating conditions, the manufacture only recommends engine oils that are API certified and meet the requirements of DaimlerChrysler Material Standard MS-6395. Use Mopar or an equivalent oil meeting the specification MS-6395."
The manufacturer recommends the use of Mobil 1 10W30 synthetic engine oil.
Then there is the temperature chart showing to use 10w-30 on hot months and 5w-30 in cold months.
3. Gardner, Kansas
4. I get on it once in a while. But I am not accelerating hard all the time. I baby it, but I do open it up since it is a performance car.
5. 16 miles each way mostly insterstate miles. But I do drive in town and make short trips once in a while too. But I try to get the car to operating temps before shutting it down.
6. Car has no known problems. Up to date on mainteneance.
I usually run 0w-40 Mobil 1. But there has been good deal on the Castrol Syntec so I have been running the 5w-30 past couple of oil changes of that. It is getting hot out and I think it would be a good idea to switch over to a 10w-30?
I got that OReilly's synthetic $18 deal, 5w-30. But I am hessitant on using it since I heard its not a good idea to run it in a turbo car. I still have the receipt for it. I don't mind changing my oil, so going extended intervals really doesn't matter.
So what do you guys think?
