If they didn't put in what you wanted, they should replace it.

For the enviroment you live in that would probably be a good year round oil. The 0 makes it flow well when it is cold and 40 makes it act like a heavy oil when it is hot. I think they put in a good oil for you.

that's what Chrysler recommends in the manual, and if you are still under warranty, it is advisable to stay with the 5w20. it is a good all around oil for warm or cold climates. I can use 5w20 down here in Florida and I could use it up in New York
the tech probably looked at his mileage and figured since he way out of warranty, there no problem to use it, the 5w20 may have been out of stock too, so they used the 0w40
