Same here, I have 1000 miles on RL 5w30 and it's slightly quieter now

Here is just an example of something that really really pi$$es me off with Amazon.
A couple of weeks ago I added Schaeffers 9000 5W–30 to my Dash Buttons for easy fast ordering! Price with Prime was $9.75 Qt.
Today I login to order 2 quarts for my winter oil change.
Plan was to order 2 quarts every month Until I get 7qts in my hand.
Today the prime price shows to be $12.89 for that very same Qt.
Very aggravating!
Just might have to break down and order a full case which is 12 quarts not six like most cases are now shipped. $85.09 = $7.09 qt
Finally changed the oil today. Redline is in, Royal Purple filter is on. Talk about a mess with the filter location! I used a plastic zip lock bag over the filter and found it easier to access from underneath the front of the truck. Still managed to make a little mess. I believe it was said to give the oil a few miles to see how it helps with the tick. Initial start up sounds around the same as the junk oil that is as in it before. We will see if a change in cold start up sounds tomorrow and planing a 300 minute round trip this weekend, see if anything to report in after the trip.
Can anyone tell me if the Big 3; Redline, Amsoil SS or PUP are dexos approved? Will run the Dino oil for the first 3k on my new rig, after that switch to a full Good Quality full synthetic. Haven't decided witch brand to go with yet but the manual states it has to be dexos approved.
And I couldn't find the RP oil filter for my new truck
Found the Mobil 1 semi-synthetic media oil filter but it was a tinny filter, dosent seem normal to put a small oil filter on it but I could be wrong. Anyone have any input on the smaller oil filters?
The new hemi's do take a very small filter. Its not unusual though. Other v8's use the same exact one.
As for the mobil 1. It will do fine and i would run it if its all i could find. Is it the M1 EP? If so it is a good filter. Not as good as the FU, RP or amsoil... but still good.
The oil websites will tell you the certs that each oil has.
Hope this is helpful
