The 5-star dealership I go to puts the synthetic in for me. I supply the
oil and filter and they change it. I use Castrol Syntec 5W-50 and a K&N oil
filter. The mechanic has told me I'm using one of the best, both in oil and
filter. That's not to say that he hasn't told me the same thing that a lot
of DML'ers have said as well. If you want to pay for the high-price spread
and you're still changing your oil real regularly (like I do) it's your
money. It's not that I want to see how long I can go without an oil change.
It's just that I feel these new synthetics lubricate better. That means a
longer lasting engine, transmission (careful, here, must be Chrysler
approved), differential, etc.

I asked the techs from DC Five Star Dealership about adding any Synthetics
and they said, "NO". I know what the DML said, but I had to go with the
dealership since it does take care of me.
Why? I still get free oil changes from time-to-time and some freebies
items. That is what I called service from a true 'FIVE STAR DEALERSHIP".

Thanks for the advice! I took delivery of my '01 CC 4.7L on 11/2. I
understand waiting to put synthetics in the engine, but what about the
manual trans? It won't be long before I enter the "first change zone" and I
would like to use synthetics for it. Thanks for your help!
