Looking to change the oil in a few weeks on my 2012 Dodge Challenger R/T with the 5.7L Hemi. It is a 6-speed manual so it does NOT have MDS. Has about 5,000 miles on it, and one oil change at 3,500 miles with regular Pennzoil yellow bottle at dealership.
You can pretty much guess what's coming...
Engine is speced for 5w20. I plan on taking it to the track a few times this year. It's a 6-speed so there's plenty of higher-revving, downshifting, rev matching, etc. that goes on that wouldn't with an auto. No MDS concerns.
Was thinking of 5w30 Castrol Edge Titanium (Gold Bottle). Thoughts on the oil for the application? Stick with 5w20? Any Hemi owners with an experience with either in a performance application? Any common trends with the 5.7L where certain oils have a better track record than others?
