Oil change advise in a fuel type post???

 

$20 for a full synthetic oil change is kind of unbelievable...BTW.

i was gonna say the same thing.  lol

thread revive post.......................

is it bad to run 85 octaine in these engines?  im on my 2nd tank of gas.  the day i bought the car the sales guy put in 85.  i put 85 in the second tank as well. 

i ask because is it REALLY a bad thing to run 85?  i mean is running 87 a scare tactic?

keep me advised......ill keep you advised LOL

it cant be too expensive however........found this link.  not sure on dealership install prices.  id honestly opt to have them do it so its covered in warranty

No.  It just pulls straight out with a trim removal tool, or small screwdriver.  I replaced mine with a red one.  After all, I am driving a Crossroad SRT Hellcat!

WOW i just started a thread about this yesterday.

also which red button you used?  this is the mopar part # i found.... 6GE11XR4AB

www.coastaletech.com i just installed the Lockpick C8 works great

wonder if this works on 2017's...... web site doesnt say

i did try to ask, but the guy in parts dept was having an off day ill guess..................he kept asking me, "a journey?"  almost as if he never heard of it.  i casually walked away after the 4th time he asked.  LOL

so i took my wife's grand caravan to the dealership today for an oil change & brake job, and while waiting i was sitting in a hellcat.  waaaaay to far outta my price range (especially with 4 kids still in the house)

but i was thinking this car has a sweet RED push button start.  I WANT A RED BUTTON TOO!!

started searching..............found this

https://moparonlineparts.com/dodge-journey-start-button-p-5151.html

i was wondering in the description it says up to 2014, but is there ANY real difference in the push button?  has anyone else attempted this?  it seems like a cool little mod that would really change the look of the dash area.

this happened to me once only on my car door. my daughter used her finger to close the latch when the door was wide open.  i had to use a screwdriver to slide into the clamp that was closed to simulate the door being in it.  then somehow fiddeling with handles and stuff i got it opened.

u just gotta get something in there to release the closed clamp

i will do that, i may pass.......its a polymer type of plastic, and right were it would go is the cat, that would get hot anyway.  looks cool but i agree it may make things hotter

this popped up on my google.........  looks kinda cool.  anyone have anything similar on theirs?  in all honesty im not sure my 2017 has something like this on it or not.  i should probably look before i buy one LOL!

thats weeeeeeird!!!  it sounds like a cheap auto parts store car alarm chirp

id say he was talking 2 front windows.  i just had my 2 front windows done to match the back ones as well.

i saw a journey the other day and it had a blinking 3rd brake light.  i could not get up beside her to ask where she got it from however.  i REALLY liked blinking that so i googled and found this

http://www.3rdbrakeflasher.com/

looks pretty darn small and simple to install.  just wondering if anyone has done this?

i have the 8.4 uconnect.  i just tried and it DOES play dvd's, i was wondering if theres any way to add the overhead dvd screen? is it worth it to do?  i thought maybe a aftermarket screen but the factory one has the built in climate controls to replace the existing knobs up top.

anyone add this in after buying their car?

update time

so after a SECOND sirius call as well as registering my car on dodge's site............. im all setup.  it appears that my car was in fact setup with 5 year subscription to Uconnect, but it didnt show on their end.  now GPS, sirius, and all my Uconnect subscriptions work great!!

Sure Ill post a picture later today and TOP plenum is where the throttle body is mounted on the journey is made of some sort of plastic composite on other vehicles plenums are made of aluminum or steel just various.

ill keep an eye out for your pic.  maybe point out which piece you had to take off.  itll help an amateur like me out.  did the instructions state having to remove it as well?

OK SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..................i have no idea why but in our pantry we had white vinegar.  so i used some bottled water to mix it. 

WHAT AN AMAZING THING!!!!  my paint is sparkly new!!!  thanks Armando G.  for the tip!!

so in my area our sprinkler water is city water which is VERY hard/non-potable water.  the whole passenger side of my new car is covered in white hard water spots.  washing it does no good.  i have spent the last 20 mins scrubbing with Windex the crap out of the windows and  have made a 60% difference.  but i cant Windex the paint. 

any ideas from anyone how to get hard water spots off??

There are intakes that will delete both restrictive resonators on the Journey. RPM-Motorsports in Arizona provides them. I purchased one in my opinion it wasn't worth the price I bought it for 200 dollars I did notice the throttle response was on point other than that more noise and mpg was the same. If they were to change its price to 80-100 dollars then I would think it's worth it. Installation wasn't bad but top plenum must be removed for RPM motorsports resonator intake delete to be installed properly.

thanks for that info.  do you happen to have a pic of it installed?

also whats the "top plenum"?

Does who happen to know?

haha anyone LOL

There are none. The vehicle is already equipped with a cold air intake. An aftermarket intake will be a ram air type that sucks hot air from the engine compartment. They are a waste of money and only good for looks and sound.

good to know.  what about just the filter replacement?  worth it or not?
