- Hemi 5.7
New to site, have new 2011/1500 ram dodge, 5.7 hemi. Manual states chg oil/filter at 8,000 miles. From old school, use to changing oil/filter every 3,000. The Dodge (chrysler) manual recommends use their oil/filter. Does anybody have any pros and cons to this requirement. Does anyone see any harm (outside of Chrysler) with changing oil/filter every 3,000 miles and using other brand oil/filter, just as long as you can prove you changed oil around the 8,000 miles mark so if something were to go wrong, Dodge can't say its an oil maintenance/filter problem. To me all brands of oil/filter are basically about same, some better than others.
