2014 3.6, my first oil change is due. I have had really good luck with castrol 20w50 in my Chevy 350. What's best for the 3.6 engine? Texas heat, not a fan of the 5w 20. I wanted to go with mobile one are castrol synthetic 5w 30. What do you use. HELP THNKS

 

A billion oil threads on here. I am in NJ and run mostly Penzoil synthetic in my 2012 JKU. It now has over 47,000 miles and runs like new. Doesn't burn a drop. I even have towed a very heavy toyhauler for over 5000 miles. I use 5w-30 since that is what my 2012 specifies. Yes, I know they changed recommendations for 2013 models. I think you will be fine with any synthetic. I do 5k intervals. So easy to remember. As I recently posted, I have nothing against Mobil 1, but is does not carry the Chrysler MS certification as penzoil, royal purple, and castrol do.

 

Castrol Full Synthetic. I started running this years ago in my Jetta diesel, I commute 120 miles round trip a day and knew that I needed something that would get decent mileage and hold up long term. It now has 218,000 plus miles on it and still runs like new. I change the oil and filter every 5000 miles without fail, perform regular maintenance and have had no issues. This is what I wanted for our 2013 Wrangler so I’m running 5W-20 as the specs call for and have no issues even in our extreme southern Nevada desert heat, on or off road.

 

Thnks for the help. My Chevy 1990 has 480,000 miles on the original motor using castrol 20w 50



I will stay with castrol thnks

 

holy **** almost 35k miles a year, hehe thats at least 3-5 oil changes per year? does opec give you a membership card? and ya that oil is working its magic for ya on that original motor.

 

Thats right it's a Chevy! And that's 20k miles a year not 35k!

 

thats my calculators fault, i divided 480,000 by 14 years and it spit out 34,something at me, but ya, for a chevy thats gotta be a record amount of mileage on 1 motor, most chevvies dont make it to 4.8k before they go rock like, like a rock

 

my ford 150 with the triton engine. Lost the Camshaft bearing 500 miles after the warranty went out.







CHEVYS ROCK so do JEEPS!'

 

Thnks for the input. I went with royal purple 5w 20
