Thank you. I have been lurking around the last year, but hadn't really had the urge to ask a question or respond to anything yet. I have definitely learned a lot from the forum.

I went into the dealership today to ask them about it. They said that the service department slip says 0w40 on it, but some of the idiots don't think to change the stickers when they print them. They leave the oil grade, 3 month, and 3k mile info in and just change the beginning mileage.

I asked them about the problems I have been having, and the tech said it sounds like an emissions/exhaust problem, and they could have one of their "Crossfire techs" look at it on Monday if I wanted to drop it off. (Supposedly only 2 guys in the service department are allowed to work on Crossfires (they are supposedly the only ones who touch SRTs too).

... So I am going to take it back to the local guy and have him check it out thoroughly. He seems to have dealt with more crossfires than they have. Also, he works on MBs and BMWs too.
