The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance. Better off to do your OC's at 6/6 to be safe.
Even though you could go 7500-10K on synthetics in a healthy engine this will put you at odd's with the mfg warranty wise. Even with the OLM they are very clear on that. The maximum Dodge allows for is 6 months or 6000 miles. The only issue I see with your plan is your OC interval length. The Amsoil XL is fine warranty wise as said or you can run any of the name brand synthetics and do well too( QS UD, PP, VVLSP, KGT1, M1, etc. Your PYB for 5K then swapping to a synthetic is a good plan although you can make the swap any time you wish. IF you want to run Amsoil stay with the XL version while under warranty. The Amsoil XL line is the ONLY Amsoil oil that meets your warranty requirements just FYI. I see nothing wrong with your choice of filter.
You need an oil that is API certified with the Starburst and it must meet or exceed Chrysler MS6395. There should be no issue with running a 0W-20 if you wish to but seeing as you don't see any extreme cold temps where you live there isn't much need. I will be running WIX or Pure One filters.
I would like to get 7500 to 10,000 OCI's (Based on UOA's of course). I live in Kentucky so temperature is not an issue. Would I be better off running PP/PU 5w20 or Mobil 1 EP 5w20? Or maybe Amsoil XL 5w20? The vehicle gets around 30K/year with the majority being 40 to 50 mile trips. As a long time Amsoil user I am very interested in running their 0w20 but I don't want to do anything that could potentially harm the warrenty since 5w20 is the spec. I plan on running PYB for the first change around 5 to 6 K and going with synthetic after that. As most of you probably know it specs 5w20 oil. I recently traded my Dodge/Cummins in for a Dodge Nitro with the 3.7 as I needed a more family friendly ride. Hey guys, I have been away from this board for 6 year or so and I am glad to be back.
