Since I drive them in the summer only, I firmly believe the 5W makes no difference. But I do put in Mobil1.

The dealer service costs look reasonable. My roadster has 32k miles and other than the fan under recall, no repairs at all.

Are you saying 22 dollars a quart or what? I paid 6.27 a quart at walmart.

I hope that is by the gallon!

Ahhh, but did Walmart offer you a cappucino and biscotti while you waited in line?

Next time I need anything non-warranty I would go to MB of Boerne. Haven't gone there yet but I heard good things.

As for a Chrysler dealership... I don't have one. Don't go to Lonestar! A long story that I will tell you if you really want to know. I am done with them. I recently did business with Mission so I would probably go there for the next warranty issue. I heard good things about them but I can't speak from experience.

Did you buy the Mobil1 0W-40 Oil at WalMart and if not, where? I could not find it at my local WalMart store.
