Yep, that's what I use in the 5W30 weight (5W20 isn't available off-the-shelf where I am; the Chrysler dealers who have to use that weight import it especially from the US) as it's the only off-the-shelf 5W30 I can get (10W30 is the thinnest oil generally available in brands such as Mobil1, etc).

The Edge full synthetic is expensive and probably overkill for the primitive 3.8L V6 but I don't burn any oil and the motor is noticably smoother above 3000RPM than when it was running whatever cheap shit the dealer had in it.
