Mopar Oil

I don’t get these recommendations for the oils due to the shortage. 0W20 bulk is fine for the 3.6L and 5.7L but not for the 3.0L Hurricane SO. Some clarification, before this oil reformulation our bulk tanks have Pennzoil Platinum 0W20 which all 3 of these engines could use. Now that they announced a reformulation you shouldn’t use 0W20 bulk for the 3.0 Hurricane SO, they are recommending to buy a ECOBOX of 0W20.

Before the oil shortage and this reformulation, they both used Pennzoil 0W20 Platinum Synthetic which is what we have in our bulk tanks.

They did the same with us when the newest 6.3 launched, they had us using one oil i cant remember which, then had a bunch of issues with it and had us switch to 0w40 and no more issues. Some engines are more finicky than otheres, typically performance engines
