    I use synthetic in my V6. I have gotten crap here about using higher grade synthetic, but whatever. It's my money, right? :)

    The only thing that counts is your engine, and it thanks you!

    I run full synthetic in my 2016 R/T with a Mopar filter.

    My daughter's 2014 Dart calls for full synthetic for its 2.4L 4 cylinder, so don't feel it's overkill putting it in your V6. My question is what's the interval you guys use for mileage between changes for "normal" driving conditions using full synthetic?

    It's probably overkill, but I change mine every 4,500 miles.

    We’re pretty close... I usually go up to 5,000 miles which for our cars is about 6 months.

    my car.... is every 4,000 miles, my truck is every 5,000 miles. but my car gets an oil change about once a year since I only put about 5,000 miles on it.
