2002 Dodge Intrepid SE cold start

This is my first car that I've had since high school. Hard to believe it's coming up on 10 years old, and it's still in awesome shape. It's got the 2.7 engine rated at around 200 HP, and it runs great. Transmission shifts crisp and fast like it should, flushed it out at 30 and 60K miles. Water pump was changed out at 68-69K. I've only put Mobil 1 oil in it since it's come into my possession, and I think it's really paid off. Some of you might notice it has the alloy wheels from the ES. I got those off my dad's car after it was totaled in an accident (not his fault) and I really like them a lot better than the stock steel wheels with covers. Other than that, it's all stock, except for a Magnaflow resonator to replace exhaust pipe that had rotted off about a year or so ago. I'll post a test drive video soon so you can hear how it sounds under acceleration.

I am going to pick one of these babies up tomorrow, hope it works as well as yours does, and for as long. I read rthat these car need synthetic oil to prevent engine problems, usually ending up with te engine blowing up,. so treat the oil well, and you will not encounter failure.

@markzmen07 Best of luck with your purchase! My advice is to use Mobil 1 or Royal Purple in the correct viscosity and don't go over 5K per change. For gas engines, I can't think of anything better. If you check out the Benz I have, I use Shell Rotella 15W-40 in that car and it runs as smooth as butter.

Cool, youtube can be used for tek support. Thanks for the suggestions, and I will take this up and implement this. It is nice to speak to a real person, and I will pay special attention to the viscosity ratio for the motor. It is a good car, and a fast bitch on the highway. lol.
