I just bought a nitro r/t, and the other day when, I was @ the dealer, gettin an extra key, the guy mentioned something about the nitro needs a special oil (synthetic?) that only dodge has? I didn't have time to quiz him more on it, but has anyone else dealt or know about this? I would really appreciate any feedback. THANX,PLUMBOB

My mechanic, when he saw that I had purchased my Nitro said not to ever let anyone install oil over 20 weight as heaver oil gets trapped in the upper recesses of these engines thus starving the lower end. So, I use 5W20 Mobil 1 in mine. Regards
