To my knowledge they ALL have Mobile1. The manual says Mobile1 or Mopar Equiv.
As far as the mileage recommended..........................I couldn't do it!! I tried!!
I only made it to 5K and couldn't hold out any longer.
I accept the manufacturers claim that the oil does not break-down BUT it still gets dirty!!!
When I have to turn the dipstick to the sunlight to see the level because the oil is so clean, I'm happy.
If I'm not mistaken, Formula 1 cars change the oil (more quarts than we use) EVERY RACE!
So $80.00 is a lot.........but it's every THREE THOUSAND for me like I do in my others!!!!
