Brian,

I'm taking the leap from 10w30 M1 Ext. Performance oil for my '00 GTS, although newer technology than the M1 10w30 basic synthetic in '00, to the latest M1 0w40 for my oil change on Saturday. I understand that SRT designed a new oil filter for the G-IV and V's, but I believe the G-II's had a common Dodge filter in '00. The only filter Mobil shows for the G-II is the M1-204. I believe it is a much better filter than the early OEM's for Viper's, for whatever that's worth. If SRT has redesigned a filter for the earlier Gens as a result of "technological improvements," let me know and that is all I'll use. Otherwise, I'll continue with the newer M1 filters.

By the way, Advance Auto has their oil change special at $35 for 5 quarts M1 0w40 and an M1-204 EP filter for $35. The filter itself is $13, so the oil is $22, or $4.4 a quart for M1 0w40, which is normally about $9.98 a quart.

If ANYONE would like the extra M1-204 filter I've got by buying 2 specials, I'm bringing it on Saturday - 1st come, 1st served.
