First service recommendations?
|
Hello everyone,
I got our vanilla 'C' about 15 days ago and wow! Before I carry on about what a tremendous car the 300 is, I wanted to see if my thoughts about initial maintenance are sound. At 1500 miles I plan to change the oil and replace it with Mobil 1 0w-30 and use a Mopar filter. At 7500 miles I will change the differential fluid with Mobil synthetic, and then finally at 10,000 miles, I will change the transmission fluid and filter with Mobil synthetic ATF. I like getting all the metal shavings out ASAP by doing my first oil services early. Afterwards, I plan to change the oil every 6k miles and follow an appropriate service schedule for the diff. and tranny. Does this sound like a good plan, even if it is overkill? I just don't want to void any warranties or use subpar or improper replacement parts for this vehicle--she only should get the best! Thanks again.
I meant to say 0w-20 mobil 1....is there a consensus as to whether DCX will honor warranty claims with use of this particular oil?

Reason: whoops--I meant 0w-20, not 0w-30
