Considering a 2005/2006 Dakota SLT. Would someone please post the
recommended engine oil viscosity for the V-6 as well as standard V-8.
I am especially interested in what "optional" viscosities are listed.
(I live in a hot climate) Is there a link where I can view or d/l the
owner's manual for free?

Does Dodge have any issues with owner's using synthetic motor oil?

Thank you.

Paul

Diamler-Chrysler only recommend API Certified engine oils. Use Mopar engine
oil or equivalent

API Certified Synthetic OK.

Royal Purple, and Mobil 1 are 2 API Certified Synthetic oils.
