What don"t figger is the 3.0 V6 is one of the best engines ever made,,, Not Chrysler built tho,, mitts&bits made,,, Chrysler uses that engine quite often,,, Bout the only problem i have see is around 100K or so they git tappet noise,,,needs valve seals on the exhaust ,,, But they take a lick"n and keep on tick"n. Why Chrysler made a 2.7 when they have the 3.0"s is beyond me. All the 2.7, 3.3 3.8s that I work on git 5/30 synthetic blend oil and have held up,,, well most all cars and pic"em ups git 5/30 synthetic blend,,, Its rare to have a engine problem unless induced by the driver. Late model engines require service at a religious level,,, 3K on oil changes are 5K when it is driven mostly on 30 to 50 mile one way trips,,, short trips and extended oil changes will kill"em. Bout all one can do is practice a religious oil change interval and use good oil,,, I would not own a 2.7 tho,,, even tho I know of 1 thats been bullet prof
