Oil Change

[Rick J]

Lots of choices for oil. FCA doesn't "recommend" synthetic but it is OK to use it. Here is a list of some of the products that meet FCA's requirements (MS-6395):

Synthetics

• Pennzoil Platinum
• Royal Purple
• Castrol Edge
• Halvoline Synthetic
• Quaker State Ultimate Durability

Conventional

• Pennzoil (Yellow Bottle)
• Quaker State Advanced Durability
• Valvoline (White Bottle)

In general a little less than about half the products over the 5w20 multi grade range are MS-6395 certified. For instance, Castrol’s flagship synthetic, blends and conventionals are not MS-6395 certified. Other companies like Pennzoil and Quaker state have taken the approach of having a synthetic and conventional product certified and opting out on niche products like oils for high mileage vehicles. Running contrary to the pack, Valvoline has almost all it’s products under MS-6395

Yep. We’re starting to rehash old threads here, all.

What is it that it has to meet again? I’m sure it’s posted somewhere on the quart of oil.

Look at @Rick J ’s post above. He doesn’t list PUP, but he mentions the spec (and PUP meets it). There are other oils not listed that meet it as well, as has been discussed in the past.

That’s not what I asked. Discussed in the past or not, I asked what is it that we have to meet. If you don’t want to answer again, fine. I’m still asking. Keep posting that we are talking about the past if you want. Feel free. I’ll keep asking.

Thank you for scrolling up a couple of posts for this information. I didn’t realize I was making this difficult.
