Dang, not great. Redline producing less wear then PUP. Look how low that viscosity is.

That was 4 qtr of of Redline 5W-30 and 3 qts of Redline 0W-40 [emoji44][emoji44]If it were me and I was gonna run PUP, based on that uoa I would think it is fine to run 0w40 in the 5.7.
Which oil was your second run on this page, the one with the highest visc? That is much higher then 7 qrts of 0w40 PUP was and you had no issues? I would think about running 0w40 PUP if not for Redline, I tell you.
Didn't you say one time that PUP 0/40 was one of the thinner 40 wt's?Look at how uniform the calcium, zinc, and phos is, and how they drop on the PUP. Just another example of how good blackstone is imo. Just makes me want to go buy some redline.
All the other UOAs are of RedlineLook at how uniform the calcium, zinc, and phos is, and how they drop on the PUP. Just another example of how good blackstone is imo. Just makes me want to go buy some redline.
I believe someone has ....PUP 0w40 is on the lighter side of the 40wt spectrum, I have 0 doubt you could run 7 qts in a 5.7
I may irritate some of you with this, but here goes. I have no interest in spending a fortune on oil, no interest is using anything but 5w 20 as my HEMI calls for, and I have no desire to mix.
That being said, I intend to change my oil every 6 months and use the best synthetic I can afford, ie...5 quarts for under $30.00.
I sell AMSOIL (really, just buy for family that wants it), but I am not stuck on it. I rarely drive my RAM like I stole it, but will be pulling a 5000 pound travel trailer 6 or so times a year.
With all this in mind, what synthetic 5W 20 should I go with? I have researched this to death and now I am more confused. My truck only has 1800 miles on it, so all this could go to crap if the tick develops. Thanks, for your answers.

@Rampant , You've got the #s all wrong
My average oci is just over 6,400 miles and the avg. tbn is about 3.8
Nothing personal just numbers .
Let's see those steller uoas of yours Sir ?

Yup, just gather info and make an informed choice. No reason to be defensive, we must have screwed the pooch when new guys come here and they feel defensive. Lets have a kinder gentler oil thread.

You can't see the # s as the red writing is over the first one , I'll post another that's more clear , the first one is 8,074 miles , and the third one at 1,500 miles is the same oil at the fourth one at 5,000 miles ( I was just curious [emoji848])Sure thing. Same as posted in June.
Here's your numbers calculated from the uoas posted:
OCIs- 2100+5000+1500+6200+6074= 20,874mi / number of chgs=4,174.8 mi avg oci
TBNs- 5.6+4.1+6.1+3.3= 19.1 / number of TBNs=4.7
My numbers calculated:
OCIs- 8139+12207= 20,346mi / number of chgs= 10,173 mi avg oci
TBNs= 4.25+3.31= 7.56 / number of TBNs=3.78
The first on mine was ignored because it is the factory fill uoa. I'll be changing it again in a month or so. Current fill has around 10.5k on it. Truck has 33.5k-ish and hasn't seen a dealer yet.
