    You running conventional, or full synthetic?

    Matt has a good routine down. Changing at 5k intervals makes it easy to remember and it isn't to early or to long on the oil. Just right. Plus you can work your tire rotations in along with it and depending on how long the mileage takes you in time wise, you can work your vehicle inspections around it as well. Keeps everything organized.

    AMSOIL has been out since 1972 and have been growing every year. They were the first to have an API certified synthetic engine oil, that is why you see "First In Synthetics" on their site.

    I've used M1 5W-20 for my Hemi ever since I bought the Jeep at 9k mi. I'm at almost 112k now. No oiling issues. I also use the Mopar filter since I can get it at Walmart along with my 5qt jug of M1. I'm also partial to the Napa Gold (otherwise known as Wix) filters. I've heard horror stories about Fram stuff.

    It's possible. It's also possible you can't read though
