I just bought a 2005 Sebring
. I know the 1998-2002 models are known sludgers and have self destructed on occasion
. I just picked up this 2005 with 30,000 miles on her.My questions to those in the know are:
Didn't chrysler eliminate the sludging problem after 2002? If so how?
Can I still use a PL 30001 oversize filter?
I know previous model years spec 5w-30, but mine specs 5w-20. Why do you suppose this is? Fuel economy? Shear stability?
Lastly, I'm debating whether to go with some PP (since it can be found on sale frequently) or perhaps coughing up some dough on Amsoil or maybe even Redline. Your thoughts?
Thanks to any and all that might provide some useful info!
