Bottom paragraph states:
Quote:
Please note: This is the fluid recommended by Mopar for the vehicles above. If you drive your car very hard, a Chrysler Engineer that we work with quite a bit has recommended the use of Mobil 1 High Mileage 10w/30 with ZDDP or Zinc dithiophosphate which helps protect the gear surfaces better under high heat conditions. You can find the ZDDP labeling on the back of the container.

The reason they used ATF + friction modifier from teh factory is because it was easy and cheap since the SRT-4's were going down the assembly line with the reg. Neons...

Gonna change every spring regardless of how many miles. Cheap insurance, imo.
I am really thinking about switching over... Anyone else made the switch to the 10w-30 High Mileage?
Or any input on the subject matter?
