It really does not matter if you use conventional (regular) or synthetic oil, as long as you use the correct type...in example: 5w-30, 10w-30, etc.

2005 town and country 3.8 using oil. no leaks 2qts every 3000 miles. any ideas please?

For that type of oil consumption there must be traces of smoke at some time. If there is smoke at start-up and when you lift your foot off the pedal to slow down, the valve stem seals are leaking. If the smoke is predominantly seem under acceleration and normal driving, the oil seal rings are allowing oil into the cylinder/s. At present the oil consumption and cost (if there is no excessive smoke) will be a lit less than the repair of either of the factors I have mentioned above. Try changing to another brand of oil (synthetic oil seem to contribute to high oil consumption). Try a heavier brand of mineral oil, at least a 20W-50 or even a 60 for older engines. Go for an oil that is marketed and backed by a reputable company with a petroleum back round.

What kind of oil does my 2005 town and country use?

it depends if its the 3.3 liter or the 3.8 liter. one of the motors is 5w30 and the other is 10w30 but to ensure this is correct. Look on your oil filler cap and it will display what oil you need to put in. Also make sure you buy the oil that you have been using. Like if you use synthetic you want to use synthetic oil or vice versa.

What kind of oil should i use for a 2004 Chrysler town and country?

Driving conditions / oil

(Note all oils are NON-DETERGENT)

City hot / SAE 20W - 50
City warm / SAE 10W - 40
City cold / SAE 5 -30 or 5W-40

Rural hot / SAE 20W - 50
Rural warm / SAE 10W - 40
Rural cold / SAE 5W - 30

Brand does not really matter as the SAE designation makes them all the same other than a few manufacturer specific additives i.e Techron ect.

Can i use 5w30 instead of 5w20 oil on a 2006

you can but not recommended. the reason for the thinner oil is the tolerances in the bearing races on these engines are very tight, requiring thinner oil. 5w30 is ok for sure if you are going synthetic.

What problems can result from switching from synthetic oil to regular motor oil?

This is a can of worms as everyone will have a different opinion. My experience has been no problems at all. The benefits of synthetic are so great that there really is no other choice. The cost is really not that high when you consider that you can extend your service intervals. This oil flows more rapidly when the engine is cold and cold starts are the highest wear cycle the engine sees. Synthetic does not breakdown at high temperatures so it prevents coking around the rings. Seized piston rings cause low compression and oil burning. It won't fatally contaminate an engine with sludge like standard oil. Do a quick google search of "toyota sludge" or "chrysler sludge" Many manufacturers today will not honor their warranty unless you use it.
