Good dealership service !
Just had oil pan gskt replaced under warranty week or so ago and had a voucher for 1 free oil and filter change service. Today noticed that still had the same oil filter on from before the work was done.
Drove right to the dealership and explained it to them. They looked it up and agreed that the service was done, but couldn't figure out how that was omitted with the oil pan being dropped and record of oil change.
They took it right in and changed the oil again w/ new filter. They checked everything and notified me of rear differential oil needed changed. Wanted to do that too, at cost to me.($160.00). Told them that I prefer to do that myself and turn my own wrenches when I can. They didn't have a problem with that. Got the part #'s for lube.($125.00). Anyone know if I can get aftermarket synthetic lube for less ? Amsoil or other ?

That's what I thought motorhead. They want roughly $25.00 a quart. Total capacity is 4.2 quarts. They got a $8.00 additive, too. Is this stuff from Chrysler like gold plated or what. Hear good things about amsoil syn. Gonna look into it.

Well.....if it was an older parts guy or even service guy, it could just be force of habit. For years, Dodge has used that additive. I'd give 'em a little slack, but 25 bucks a qt for fluid......not on my invoice they wont!
