I'm currently running 0w30 Mobil1 oil in it, and a SRT4 oil filter (nearly 2x bigger than the OEM unit.)

There is some great information on tranny mods at Donovan's Dodge Garage.

The site is mostly geared toward racing, but most of the Auto tranny mods and information will help out alot in making the auto tranny more efficient.
Gary Donovan, awesome dude, i've tapped his mind about some things before

If i were you, look for a 41TE, say out of like year Stratus, etc...that 4th gear would make a real big difference in mileage
