I have a sticker in my glove box that tells me the build codes. Most of it is faded away.

Cant get a straight answer from anyone i talk to. Now apparantly they say valvoline 80w-90 in the white bottle which is 100% non synthetic also has friction modifier. Valvoline told me it has 4 oz per qt, which will mean ill have 20 oz of friction modifier in my differential when i only need 10 oz. i think im on a journey to wasting all kinds of money on crap i dont need. Dodge dealership still says ad mopar friction modifier, but wont that make it way too much?

Im about to say to hell with it and leave the dirty oil in there
