Valvoline Synthetic HM 0W-20
Purolator Blue PL14612
121,000 miles on the car. about 5500 city miles on this OCI.
It's become my commuter, so that OCI will extend.
This is probably the last time I'll use that oil based on my reading here. I'll probably go Super Tech full Syn for my next change and see how that goes. Breaking the Valvoline habit will be hard. I run it in my 95 Wrangler and my 2014 Town and Country as well. The Town and Country may be switching to the Havoline 6 quart box for convenience.

29,950 miles
Out: 0W20 Valvoline Full Syn MEO & XG11665 w/ about 15K on it (Three 5K runs roughly).
In: Same & new XG11665
Fram XG11665 looked good other than slight cap twist on pleats at cap base, considering I just snug it up.
Would have posted pics, but I dropped it while inspected the pleats and it got dirty

Will Fiat/Chrysler blow a gasket, should something come unglued in your engine during the warranty period and they find out you used an oil filter for three oil changes?

IMO … if they are broken in after 500 miles they have shed as much metal as they will in the next 5k.
I'll change it again between 5k - 7k … whatever fits my schedule and nice weather like 70F this am.
(I'd gone a bit longer, but got things to do coming up).
Been doing that since 1980 …
never had an oil burner and that includes several bashed here as notorious oil burners.

Same here. There is absolutely no good reason not to change the first fill early. I don't care what the cheap arses here say. Nobody would rebuild a performance engine and leave the break in oil after break in.
