Asking about motor oil is like asking about breasts, everybody likes something different.
I use Mobil 1.
I use 5w-40 in the winter time and 15w-50 in the summer, I change it every 5,000 miles and use Mopar, Purolator and NAPA oil filters.

Thanks again! It looks like I'm doing okay with the motor oil. I hope the K&N oil filter I'm using is acceptable. I like the nut thing on the end. Makes it easy to loosen etc.

Alot of guys on here use the K&N oil filter as well as the Mobil 1 oil filter.
Personally I think they are overpriced, especially when a NAPA oil filter for $5 will do the same thing, but thats just me.
Each to their own.

K&N makes an excellent filter. The nut on the bottom is a nice feature. Haven't had a chance to climb under an 04 but on my D1 there is plenty of room for a filter wrench so the nut isn't a big issue. On a tight engine compartment that nut makes a world of difference.

I run Mobil 1 both of my vehicles and highly recommend it. My Dodge run 5w20 year round because of the multiple displacement system. In the Rover I ran 10w30. Mobil 1 is also the oil that Mercedes come from the factory with. A $60,000+ vehicle better have the best oil in it.

How amny miles on your engine?
I am over 100K and use Mobil 1's high mileage or extended mileage instead of the normal synthetic, better for the engine, less leaks and sludge build up.
