WH 5.7 Engine Oil

[briteway]

Redline oil is pretty good with ACEA rating of A5/B5.

Amsoil has the ACEA same as Pennzoil A1/B1 and both are recommended brands by Chrysler.

i tried several auto shops and a friend of mine who owns an auto pro who can usually get anything and no luck with 5w-20.
Another friend of mine who owns a service centre and is an authorised jeep service rep but not for warranty work because we have a jeep dealer nearby had a few goes to get another oil besides mopar oil and has the ability now to direct import pennzoil.

Has anyone seen pennzoil 5w-20 in a shop? it is the right oil to use

Yeah, you're right. I tried Auto One and Auto Barn. They can only get the Castrol 5W-20 in ridiculous amounts. Autobarn in a 200L drum, Auto One in a 20 L drum = from the same company. Go figure!

I'm due for another oil change to my HEMI The Pennzoil I ran this time really served me well. The engine was quieter than before and the MDS was operating properly (if I don't use cruise control, that seems like there's another issue there).

Chrysler doesn't supply Pennzoil anymore. They now went back to their Mopar stuff again. I'm looking for alternative ways to source the oil, if I can grab a good deal though. I'm talking to some people on importing some from the US.

The Pennzoil I bought last time was $60 for 5Qt. This time the Mopar 5W-20 was $99 for 4Qt. The same guy served me and I had a bit of a "spit the dummy" moment with him so he gave it to me for $80. He also said the next batch to supercede will be $2 dearer.

So it works out that I paid $20 more for 1 quart less. Go figure. But $80 is definitely better than $100.

The order ended up being a scam I just want me money back. Happiness turned to sadness.

I'm still searching for 5w-20 oil deals...
