Most of us aren’t experts on the different options for Chrysler oil. Thankfully, our certified technicians here at Hall Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM of Virginia Beach are industry-trained with years of experience and are more than happy to help with any questions you might have.
Here’s what you need to know about the types of oil you can use for your Chrysler vehicle:
Motor Oil
There are a few different types of oil you can buy for your car:
- Conventional: the most common and cheapest form, newly made from crude oil
- Synthetic: the most expensive kind, chemically engineered, highest quality and longest lasting
- High-Mileage: comes with additives designed for older engines with more miles
- Synthetic-blend: a combination of synthetic/conventional oil, cheaper than synthetic oil but more effective than most conventional oils
Synthetic Motor Oil
Synthetic motor oil was invented in the 1970s. It’s more expensive than conventional, synthetic-blend, or high-mileage oils, but also lasts much longer and is shown to outperform the other types of oil (unless your vehicle falls into a specific category).
Our manufacturer recommends synthetic motor oil for most Chrysler vehicles.
Specific Chrysler Oil Recommendations
Chrysler engineers recommend buying a fully synthetic 5W-20 motor oil; more specifically, Chrysler recommends using an API Certified SAE 5W-20 engine oil, such as MOPAR®, Shell Helix®, or Pennzoil® synthetic 5W-20 engine oil.
Pennzoil® is seen as the absolute best brand for your car, as these are what Chrysler vehicles are filled with before leaving the factory; it fits all OEM standards, guaranteeing the highest levels of safety, reliability, and durability possible for your Chrysler vehicle.
