The 2005 Dodge Durango requires using 5w-30 oil for optimal performance. Using high-quality oil is essential for keeping the engine running smoothly. As time passes, issues with the oil may arise, such as a strong burning smell. This should be addressed promptly to prevent potential engine damage. Poor-quality oil can lead to engine failure, indicated by a knocking noise and decreased gas mileage. It is crucial to schedule regular oil changes every 5,000 to 10,000 miles to prevent engine problems down the road.
