0W/40 synthetic is what you need. Nothing more, nothing less.

Funny thing but when you look on the quart bottle of pennzoil ultra 0w40 there is an SRT logo on it. Just changed my oil for the first time yesterday. Used the pennzoil ultra. The black beast purs like a kitten... And growls when she gets madddd

They did switch to this oil somewhere in 09 or 10 for all models. However Mobil 1 is fine.

If you put anything pennzoil in your car you don't really know what good oil is. Mobil 1 or nothing at all. And buy a catch can!

^^^Utter baloney. The oil recommended is by type and grade in the manual, NOT by brand.

All the pennzoil myths are a million years old, their newer formulas are excellent and I would use them in a heartbeat if the value was there.

That said, M1 0W-40 is one of the most lauded oils on the planet that passes a lot of OEM specs.

Lauded how? Mobil 1 was the first company to create synthetic oil. And as far as pennzoil I had worked for a Chrysler dealership and the problems that conventional and synthetic pennzoil caused was crazy. I owned a WJ at the time and when I first bought the jeep it had a crazy lifter tick when it was running pennzoil. I immediately changed to a high mileage valvoline and the tick disappeared. Same issue happened with my 300 and switched to mobil 1. The only reason pennzoil is recommended is because Chrysler has a contract with pennzoil. If you want to run mediocre oil in your car go with pennzoil. If you don't believe me do some research.
