I just hit my 500 mile mark and am going to change my oil for my first time. I was wondering what kind of oil is best for the 'ole '03 girl? What do you all use for your Dakotas? Thanks guys.

Mobil 1 w/Purolator Pure ONE filter. Yes, I use synthetic with only 500 miles on it. If they can put it in brand new Corvettes then I can put it in my Dodge with 500 miles on the ticker. Now at 55000 miles and running fine - don't burn/use oil.

Thanks BigBen. I knew about the Camaro SS and Firebird Firehawk but they are gone. Sniff,sniff. Down here in LA. (Lower Alabama) we don't get to see many Cobra Rs or Vipers. Mercedes ain't even allowed in our county.

I do not think it matters which oil you use as long as it is one of the major ones and it meets the standards set forth in the owners manual. I personally would not use any generic oil. Although I have used the generic Wal-Mart oil in my '76 Datsun B210, which seemed to work fine. I use conventional Castrol oil and I change my oil every 3K miles, if I used synthetic I would probably change my oil every 6K-7K miles. But, I do not want to spend the money for synthetic. I am probably spending the same amount of money since I change my oil more often. The only reason I use Castrol is because that is what my Dad used; why complicate things. I use Fram Tough Guard oil filters because I used them in my '76 Datsun. But, I used the cheaper orange one, of course.
