Bat has the Lifetime warranty on her power train, so making sure to keep either 229.3 or 229.5 oil every 7k miles is the minimum needed, aside from the 5 year inspection bit.

Besides, the same oil and filter is used in the same engines in MB cars for 10k to 15k mile intervals, so we all know the oil and filter can last much longer. But for the Chrysler warranty, why not just follow the wrench symbol recommendations? They work quite well.

Some of us aren't afraid of running 7k mile oil change intervals with a top shelf engine oil. Especially in these engines that don't beat up on the oil nearly as badly as some other engines out there.

BC.
