★ Top Answer
The 2005 Dodge Neon requires 4.3 liters (4.5 quarts) of 5W-20 engine oil, but 5W-30 is also acceptable, especially in warmer climates. Since this is a synthetic oil, it's recommended to change it every 5,000 miles or 6 months, depending on which comes first. Your specific maintenance schedule will depend on your driving habits and local weather conditions. If you're doing the oil change yourself, popular oil options include Valvoline High Mileage, Castrol Edge, Shell Rotella, Royal Purple, and Castrol GTX. Remember to let the engine cool for at least five minutes before working on the oil. If you prefer having the maintenance done at a dealership, it will cost you between $120 and $150, with labor making up $40 to $60 of that total.
