Pennzoil 0W-40
Went to Pep Boys to get oil as I had to change mine. They didn't have Mobil 1 but they did have Pennzoil 0W-40 which I've never seen before. Claims it is recommended for SRT engines. Was also nearly $1 a quart cheaper than the Mobil 1.

Re: Pennzoil 0W-40
Pennzoil Ultra Euro 0W40 is on the list... if that is what you are talking about, fine!
If it's on one of these two lists, you are ok:
MB 229.5 - Multigrade engine oils (Specification 229.5) - Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Operating Fluids
MB 229.3 - Multigrade engine oils (Specification 229.3) - Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Operating Fluids

Re: Pennzoil 0W-40
Don't recall if the M-B part #s were on it but yes it's full synthetic so we'll see how it goes. 90,000 miles on the car now. Should take me to 97,000.

Re: Pennzoil 0W-40
I was having some difficulty deciphering the oil specs on Pennzoil's pages so I did a little digging. There must be some formula differences between the Ultra and the Ultra Euro. Even though there own tech sheets contradicts that fact. The Ultra 0W-40 Full Synth Technical Data Sheet states:
GPCDOC_X_cbe_24855_key_140007304050_201207271338.pdf
Yet Pennzoil shows that the Chrysler MS-10725 spec is compatible with MB 229.5 spec.

From what I understand, Chrysler dealers now use the Ultra Euro 5W-40 exclusively for the Xfires.

?????Also corporate agreements made some time back may now be void with new agreements in effect. If you want to sell a so called Euro oil you certainly do not want people using your other brand that you say is for SRT engines. The SRT6 is a fly in the ointment but most people will be ignorant of previous recommendations. Take the previous recommendations for the Crossfire out of the equation and it would all make sense.

And on a side note, Pennzoil claims that their Ultra keeps pistons up to 25% CLEANER THAN MOBIL 1.
