What kind of oil does a Chrysler 200 take?

I just got my license, and my parents gave me their 2012 Chrysler 200. I want to learn to do some of the maintenance myself. This is a really basic question, but what kind of oil does a Chrysler 200 take?

Congrats on getting your license—and kudos for learning some of the
maintenance
! This will save you time and money.
The
Chrysler 200
 requires fully synthetic engine oil. Chrysler manufacturers recommend using an API Certified SAE 5W-20 Engine Oil, such as MOPAR®, Pennzoil®, or Shell Helix®. Refer to your car’s manual or your engine oil filler cap for the correct SAE grade.
There are a lot of different types of engine oil, and it is important for your engine’s continued performance that you use the correct one. Using the wrong oil can lead to problems with your
oil pump
, cause your oil filter to need changing more frequently, and created added wear on your engine’s moving parts.
Another important aspect of car ownership is having the right car insurance. Car insurance super app
Jerry
 is a great resource for new drivers.
Just download the app, answer a couple of questions, and in less than a minute, Jerry will find you great coverage at the cheapest prices with quotes from several top companies!

Can you flat tow an automatic car?
The fellas and I are heading up for a week-long trip in the Rocky Mountains. We’re heading up in my RV, but we’re thinking of towing a car along just in case we need to make a quick run into town to grab essentials, like food, water, games, etc. My question is, can you flat tow an automatic car?
