I've read this motor takes 8 liters and I've read it takes 10 liters of motor oil. At $10 to 13 a liter, plus a $65 oil filter, it's going to be close to 130 to $160 in parts alone, for the right oil. C3 oil is hard to find, period.
Good lessen in not believing everything you read on the net. If my oil change had not been free, the service dept would have charged $161. I'm sure you can find some prices to substantiate your spin, but guys on the diesel forum are buying filters & oil for $80-85 for diy. To set the quantity straight, it's 11 qts. Mustangshawn thinks he has found a source for replacement filters for $7 in bulk. As of yet not confirmed. And before you jump on the cheap price bare in mind the mopar unit is a typical questionable Chinese quality unit built by a company called ufi.not ready to jump on that bandwagon yet but anxiously watching.
