My wife and I are new Prowler owners as of Saturday 7/10. The car is a 2000 model with 5200 miles. The oil looks very dark and needs to be changed. It did not come with an owners manual. I was considering using synthetic oil and was wondering if this would be recommended at this time, or continue using regular oil. |

Best thing you could do is put Mobil 1 synthetic oil in it. Walmart sometimes has the 5 qt jugs on sale for as low as $8.88. Not bad considering the dealership charges $15.00 per qt!!!! Usually you can find a 6 qt. case for about 25 bucks on average though, barring any killer sales. Change it yourself....you don't even need ramps. too easy. BTW: get the best quality filter you can get. Stay away from Fram. The Mopar filters are Ok and if they are faulty in any way, you are covered. I use K&N Gold oil filters. |

Thanks! I have already purchased a Mopar filter. Last night I looked under the drivers side and could easily replace the filter but I was unable to find drain plug... I did not have a light and just felt around. I will get a light and look this afternoon. I'm sure there is a drain plug. |

The drain plug is on the other side of the oil pan....opposite side of the filter side. ironically for me the plug is easy to see , but the oil filter is virtually invisible under the hood! |

Mobil one is definetly the way to go to preserve your engine. I can sell OE Mopar filters to board members for $4.24 plus shipping. Go with Mopar filters and stay covered with piece of mind. Marc |

Manual says 10w-30. Chrysler says 5W-30 SYNTHETIC is OK. I use Mobil1 5W-30 exclusively. Some have reported amazing mileage gains from it. Welcome aboard. I seem to recall that I paid $6.00 for a spare owner's manual. Also STRONGLY recommend the shop manual, was $90.00. -GRROWL |

Wally, that deal was only good for the 4th week-end. I saw it and meant to post it here but forgot until it was too late. |
