I used pennzoil Synthetic blend 10/30. (i know, WHY!)
The truck is always hot when i check the oil. After about 5 minutes (after
pumping gas) the oil would be down about 1/2 quart.
The dealer changed the oil, ran it (not sure how long) checked it, was down
1 quart, checked in 1 hour, down 1/2 quart, 2 hours, was at the full line.
They checked with Dodge and they claim its ok.
I just got the truck bacl last night so i'll be timing the oil return when
hot ASAP.
