Pep Boys carries Mobil 1 ESP. I bought some there.
Engine Oil
Was going to do the first oil change yesterday, but problem was I could not find the rated oil anywhere!
Specs are ACEA C3 5W-30 that meets Chrysler materials spec MS-11106
or
Pennzoil Ultra Euro L Full Syn.
The closest I could find is Ultra Platinum Euro L however, it is for gasoline engines, and neither has the ACEA C3 rating nor MS-11106 rating. Further exploration on the Pennzoil website did not show such oil as described in the manual exists.
This is the only oil that I could locate meeting the specs:
Mobil 1™ ESP Formula 5W-30

Only bought a quart at Pep Boys to "top it off" if needed. Stupid expensive.
Dealer is giving me 4 free oil changes. Glad I don't need to buy the stuff for a while.

I'm going to go about 8K. 5K now. Planning on making a 2K towing run on the old oil next week. Still looks normally black with little consumption.
Think it's 10 qts. in realville.
FYI. Checked oil today before a couple thousand mile towing trip. 5K on the truck and NO oil consumption from new.
I'm not going to change it until I return.

That's a good thing to see. Knew it but never saw it in print, at least that I can remember.
Thanks.
Checked up a bit. It's marketed by Champion as "Syn Gold". Checked availability and places like Auto Everything and O'Reillys have it. Price...
... appx. $12/qt. plus tax, shipping and recappable tire. Certainly not a cost option.

Pennzoil ULTRA Euro 5-30 is about $6 a quart. Only one issue:
Took that right from the Pennzoil site. Bold, large and underlines was by me.

Interesting. One contradicts the other.
Did not pick up that other evaluation. Also did not find a listing showing ACEA C3 or MS11106 ratings.
