What kind of oil does a 2000 Dodge Neon use?

Answer 1

== == The factory recommended oil should be listed in your manual that came with the car. It should be 5w30 for most climates, as this gives you both low and high temperature protection and flowability. If you live in a place where high temps are the norm(never below freezing) then you could up it to 10w30. Or you could do like I do, run 0w30 full synthetic along with a synthetic rated quality filter. Where I live; good old Saskatoon, Saskatchewan,Canada; we have temps that range from - 45 Celsius in the winter to +45 in the summer. The oil cost about 4 times as much ($10/litre) but oil changes can be stretched from 5000km(3000mi )to 20,000km (12,000mi) with less wear than regular oil. Mobil 1 is one of the best rated. I also change the filter at 10,000km and replace the lost 1/2 liter of oli then.If you have an engine that has some oil leaks then synthetic is not a good idea, as the leaks will become worse.
