Die rcp olie moet er inderdaad in, 5w30. Deze is speciaal door Stellantis goedgekeurd zodat de wet belt minder snel stuk gaat.

Pros: Stellantis goedgekeurd

Cons: snel stuk gaat

Change the oil at a minimum, and do it regularly. Use a quality synthetic high mileage oil and change it again in a couple thousand miles, then change on regular 5k mile intervals.

Pros: quality synthetic oil
