2001 Dodge Neon?
My question is should I use a W30 or W40 oil in this car? I have heard that most newer take either 5W30 or 10W30 oil. My 2000 Blazer takes 5W30.
Thanks I should have thought of these. Sorry i didnt mention that i dont ave the owners manuel and figured to come right here and ask. I appreciate it Thanks again.

if you use a 5-w-30 it will start and run a lot better in colder weather,i use a 5-30 all year round in mine i wont switch it until it starts to use oil which i hope isn't any time soon,but either of those oils willl be alright for that car,i have well over 100 k on mine and still running 5-w-30 in it,so if you can use that in it, it wil be better for it in the cold weather,good luck with it.

I use W40.It really depends on the mileage,and how often you change the oil,and the condition of the motor.I drive a 98 Dodge Neon.I try to keep it changed at ever 3000 miles..

The owners maunual should tell you or just call the local dodge garage and ask them. That would be the safest thing to do. Even most auto parts stores will have the listing you need
