Oh knock it off, no reason to get your fur all up, we're all friends here!

You can surely understand why the "party line" would be "Use the modifier,
no matter what oil you use." It's just simple CYA on their part, they have
no clue what crap you are going to put in, and they aren't in the business
of researching which oils have friction modifiers in them already. They
would be happier if you just used MOPAR oil and went away. The problem is
that you play a "minimum specifications" game, where the oil meets their
MINIMUM spec. Frankly, I want something that performs a bit better than
that. Mobil1 and Redline datasheets specifically state they friction
modifiers in them.

You forgot the fact that these are the same people who designed and built
our Dakotas!!
So I guess they have some intelligence? Maybe if they are so terrible you
may want to switch over to Chebby or Ferd??!

These are also the people who charge $50 more for a "Mopar" sticker on a K&N
Gen-II. These are also the people who designed the "Belly Pan" on our
intake manifolds...also the people who state that if you don't use THEIR oil
filter, it will void your warranty.
