Just manual followers trying to put scare tactics in you.
In Oz they let you use everything from ILSAC 0W20 through mid-SAPS ACEA C3 5W-30 and on to full SAPS 5W-40. Go figure.
My local Jeep dealer uses 5W40 when I asked him what his standard fill was.

I've always used Royal Purple 5w20, but now my local Walmart does not carry it any longer.
Was thinking of one of these two:
Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage Full Synthetic Motor Oil with PurePlus Technology
or
VALVOLINE FULL SYNTHETIC WITH MAXLIFE
Check the PVC valve. If it has oil on it or if is does not rattle when you shake it it needs replaced. Mine is burning almost 2 quarts every 500 miles with 109k miles on the clock. I just tried Pennzoil Platinum High Milage that made my problem worse. I'm going to replace my spark plugs as spark plug founding is also a reason Hemis burn oil and replace my PVC valve. I'm also going to try Valvoline Full Syn Maxlife. I'm hoping reconditioning the seals and the 17 other parts help my consumption. I'm also very interested in EDGE High Milage. This are the two I'm trying to pick from now.

Good call on the PVC valve. The Hemi in my truck used about a 1/2 qt of oil on the dipstick which is rare. I checked the PVC and it wasn't totally froze up but real sticky. I cleaned it because a new one is $25 and got it working smooth and now oil usage stopped completely.
I forgot about that.

2 qts of oil every 500 Miles- Wow. That thing probably smokes like a two stroke. That's a serious issue.

M1 EP 0w-20. That's what I'd run if I could get it.

Replace the PCV valve first and keep it topped off with 10w-30 until you get the consumption figured out. Hopefully you will see a large reduction in consumption with a new PCV. If you don't i would make real sure you don't have oil in the coolant or external leaks. Then I'd pull the heads and check valve guides.
