What is the oil type for the '05 Dodge Stratus?

I’m a hands-on person and committed to saving money by changing the oil in my car by myself. I’ve been doing some research but can’t get a consensus on what oil to use.

You got this! The ‘05
Dodge Stratus
oil type is SAE 5W-30. It’s important to make sure you use the right oil, as the wrong one could cause serious and expensive damage to your car’s engine.
Proactively taking care of your car can extend its lifespan and ensure that it’s safe to drive. Your vehicle is telling you it needs an oil change if any of these happen:
  • The Check Engine Oil or Oil Change Light turns on—this is the most obvious warning sign
  • The engine makes a **knocking noise
  • The oil is dark and dirty
  • You smell oil inside your car
Doing your car’s oil changes yourself can save you quite a bit of money every year! But if you’re really committed to saving money, revisit your
