Here's for everyone that has always wondered.

And for certain smart-asses! (you know who you are)

 

[cali]

We know...the debate is 10W or 5W :?: :idea: :!:

 

[hemidakota]

Here in Southern Cali or Florida I believe it should be 10-30W

Those folks that live farther north it should be 5-30 and that is not Alaska either (you need -15 - 15W)LOL

I did noticed some hestitation at 3200-3600RPM range today. Hmm....I may have to reset the computer.

 

[nighcore]

All I'm going to say is working at a dealership myself, I have a dealer mail that was sent out stating EXACTLY that 5W-30 is to be used in the SRT-4. I'm not arguing anything because I was going to contact Dodge today but had a busy time and didn't get a chance to. It may be different per region, but I'm still trying to get a hold of Dodge to determine the EXACT answer.
(Not trying to be a smart ass either)

5w-30 for hot climates..
10w-30 for the colder climtates...
actuall it says so on the back of the oil container

 

[nighcore]

Those with SRT-4's, what does the manual actually state?

 

[ayat108]

p.123 "0degreesF -100deg[...] 10W-30 preferred. 32deg to -20deg[etc] [email protected]"

 

[thispainisours]

so did i post that backwards or am i just reading it fucked up ??

 

[thispainisours]

damn no i have to read the book again

 

[ayat108]

5w for colder weather. that's what it says.

 

[NeonWaSp]

i think i saw 10w-30 in the book (no im sure it was)

*** edit ***
for you guys putting pics up it would be a good idea to get something like paint shop pro from jasc or some other tool to change the compression on jpg's so they are smaller and easier to get.

i usually sink mine from about a meg to 100k and they still look very good... just a thought

 

[canadian_srt4]

All this info is out of the MasterTech books. These are the books that I have to hand out each month to the techs so they can keep up on their traning, and so our dealership can stay FiveStar certified.

Can anybody get a hold of a U.S Mastertech book? Do you have the same info? Is the oil recomended at 5W30 instead of 10W30 like this one?

 

[SRTGURL]

oil

10w-30 preferred...0 degrees F ~~>+

new england here

 

[lifeisdeath]

its 5w for colder weather. or 0w for alaska. :lol:

i use 10w-60 in my bike.

 

[willykink]

im not too up on oil ratings...so tell me if some advice i got is screwed up or not, i was told 5-50 synthetic would be ideal for south florida?

 

[canadian_srt4]

If your going to say that "you know for a fact", then backup your info... where did you get it from?
