I run 0w-20 in it year round.
They've worked really hard on the factory exhaust systems to hide the MDS blart sound, and the "active" exhausts on the newer models are particularly good at providing a muscular rumble when you want it while still hiding the MDS sound when you're cruising. Before that, only the manual-trans Challengers (no MDS) really got a good-sounding exhaust system. But you can really hear it with aftermarket systems. It sounds like a 4-cylinder through a V8 exhaust... yeah, just as bad as you'd expect.
