Good question, but seems it was common on Durango and Grand Cherokee from 2014 to 2015. Probably a factory problem... I see now that the TSB didn't attach to my first post because pdf aren't allowed. Don't know if I can put a link so I'll insert as pictures... Probably in the US it was...

The problem is without the correct dipstick, I don't know how much I really have. I ordered the AD dipstick but it will take time to arrive. The oil quantity can slightly very depending of oil filter. As I have A KN filter and not a Mopar, I'm not sure if the 0,2 extra liters I have are...

Hi, I own a 2015 Dodge Durango RT with 5.7 HEMI engine. Two weeks ago, I decided to change the oil for the first time since I own this car (I bought it in may with 60'000 km and now it has 70'000 km). I used a kn 2010 filter and some 5W20 synthetic oil. As the manual says, I first poured 6,6...

My car is relatively new because it has only 27'000 km now, so I thought going to synthetic oil could preserve the engine for it last longer. I drive a lot and I want to go with longer intervals too. Because since my last lil change 2 month ago, I already have 10'000 km and I use Pennzoil YB…...

I've read that only 5W20 should be used in HEMI V8 due to MDS system so 5W40 could cause problems.

Hi, I'll change my car oil soon. I want to go for synth oil, because until now I was using Pennzoil yellow and I did read that full synth is better. I can get some Shell HELIX ULTRA PRO AF 5W20 for a good price. It's 5W20 and full synth, Shell is a well known brand, so seems good, but it...

Hi, So I finally bought a vacuum pump for remove the oil excess... After 2h pumping I did get really tired. I did my physical activity of the day lol... So after 2h and a lot of efforts I could remove... 0,8 quart, so almost a quart. I couldn't get much out, was really tired, my pump is...

Thanks for all your answers and precious informations! Ye, my car is running good with this amount of oil, no smoke, no foam in oil, and if I check the dipstick with engine turned off since 5 minutes as advised, the amount is exactly on max... With cold engine (2h since turn off or more), it...

Thanks for all your answers. So today, I checked again (the engine was turned off since 2 days since I use my sportscar those sunny days). The floor of my garage is level, so no problem with that. So, I checked and of course, the level was still like on my picture, way more than max. So I...

Hi, I own a 2015 Grand Cherokee 5.7 HEMI with now 26'000 km. This car never used a single drop of oil between oil changes, it was always at max level until the next few weeks. During the last 2 weeks, I did a trip from Switzerland to Spain. Arrived in Spain (after about 2'000 km), I checked...

So finally we did install the new wheels today. We couldn't put adhesives weights on the outer side of the wheels, because of the design of the rim, so we used the setting for balance by the inner side only. Is it ok to balance wheels only by inner side of the wheels, with adhesive weights...

Thanks for your answer. I'll change wheels myself, so I think I won't use impact wrench at all with those wheels. But anyway, I always finish my wheels with torque wrench. I put usually 120 nm. For this Jeep, they say it needs 176 nm but I guess it's with stock wheels. So I don't know which...

Btw, with the AR893 rims, they sold me Gorilla conical Lug nuts open headed. Those: They seems so small compared to stock lug nuts. Are they tough enough for a 66 lb Wheel? I'm scared they will broke and i'll lose my wheels... lol And since they are open head, is there any risk my studs...

Thanks for all those informations. I'm now reassured about the 35mm offset. About hub-centric rings, I can get them for be sure to do everything right and good centred. About my suspension wear, actually, with my stock wheels (same size), I don't get any vibration even at high speeds and my...
