To determine the correct oil for your vehicle:
1. Consult Your Owner's Manual: This is the most reliable source. It will specify the recommended oil viscosity (e.g., 5W-30, 0W-20), type (synthetic, conventional, etc.), and API service classification (e.g., SN, SL).
2. Check Your Oil Fill Cap: The oil fill cap often has the recommended oil viscosity printed on it.
3. Contact a Dodge Dealer or Mechanic: They can provide accurate information based on your vehicle's VIN.
Important Note: Always use oil that meets the specifications outlined in your owner's manual. Using the wrong oil can damage your engine.
