DO Not Use 10-40 check with dealers or look in a newer car owners manual 10-40 voids your warranty. What brand of oil are you using, I hope not Pennzoil? The technical answer about 10-40 is to long, the short answer is the oil cannot hold all the amount of additive it takes to make it 10-40 and under heat it breaks down and turns into an abrasive, thus wearing out you valve guides, bearings and so on. My race car was sponsored by Pennzoil and I had nothing but oiling problems, switched back to Kendal, all the problems went away just like it's name on the side of my car. I would use 20-50 and stick with it. If it ain't broke don't fix it!!! -------Original Message------- From: Bob Jasinski Date: 9/25/2011 3:25:15 PM To: 'Bill Huff'; chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [Chrysler300] 413 oll pump Because a year ago I changed the oil to 20-50W and the problem went away. Last week I changed the oil back to 10-40W and the problem came back, so I figure it is the pump, but I am open to suggestions as to other causes.
