You don't want the Mopar Synthetic. It really is best to use the Mobil 1 Synthetic 0W40.
Try the local Mercedes dealers next time. You'll find better service and the price might be almost identical. Back when I had an Infiniti I could get a loaner car even for an oil change. If I set an appointment I was in and out in 5 minutes on my way to work and then just picked up on my way home. I wonder if the Mercedes dealer here would do that too. The Dodge or Chrysler dealers I've been to, at least around here, usually suck.
