-Engine oil (classifications...and whatnot)?

-Brake fluids, dot 3...is cheap dot 4 (SAE J 1703 DOT 4 +) from my local mall ok? Or cheap DOT 5.1 (US FMVSS 116)?

-Steering fluid....only "mopar power steering" fluid?


Engine oil (examples of what I have available):

Cheap mineral oil 10W–30 (API SL/CF, ACEA A2/B2)?

Cheap semi synthetic 10W–40 (API SL/CF, ACEA A3/B3, MB 229.1.)

Castrol Magnatec fully synthetic 5W-40 (API SN/CF, ACEA A3/B3/B4 C3, S2, Dexos II, LL-04, MB229.31, RN0700/RN0710, 502.00/505.00)

 

...and Fuchs TITAN UNIMAX ULTRA MC 10W-40 Ultimate Performance, Full Synthetic

 

dot 3 brake fluid
oil 10w 30
Normal Power steering fluid
If u got to synthetic oil U must stay with it cant switch around

 

just to ask a question, I just bought a 2009 T/C with the 3.3 with about 90,000 miles on it. Why 10w30 not the 5w20? And I want to go to full synthetic oil is this a good move?. And when it comes to motor oil which one is a better brand than another that is easy on the wallet?. And when it comes to the other fluids is there a better brand over another? Sorry about all the question. Thanks David

 

where are u getting the 10w 30 info from?
Your downloadable owners manual says this

Engine Oil Viscosity (SAE Grade) — 3.3L & 3.8L
Gasoline Engines
SAE 5W-20 engine oil is recommended for all operating
temperatures. This engine oil improves low temperature
starting and vehicle fuel economy. Your engine oil filler
cap also shows the recommended engine oil viscosity for
your vehicle

 

On the DOT 5.1 fluid (cheap, local mall) it says it's ok to mix with DOT 3 and 4...DOT 3 is not avaliable in any of my local malls that's why I ask

Castrol Magnatec 5W-40 was recommended to me when I typed my registration number. I have a 2.4i L engine. Is it OK to use?

What happens if you switch back from synthetic? Is there any chance of leakage switching to fully synthetic from mineral oil?


...on every oil there are different classification systems it seems, which are the ones I should look for?

 

u must be in UK? if so I have no idea wat u guys do over there about fluids

 

Nope...Sweden.

It's still a Chrysler Voyager 1997 2.4i L, no matter where I am...and I need to keep it running.

I can order online. But I have a restricted budget to work with, that's why I try to learn and get help online.

 

Though. I have an american sounding name...maybe that helps.
