Over 200k miles, suggested oil?

[carrmann]

About to change the oil and get an alignment done (going to raise the front end about 1/2" as well before the alignment). Has 205k miles on it. No idea what is in it now for oil. Any suggestions on what I should put in? I live in Fl, so its never cold (below 30*).

Just seafoamed the gas. Will be seafoaming the oil tomorrow morning (before my to work/back drive), and then seafoam the intake tomorrow night.

Also, I hear a noise when I start it for the first time after the engine has cooled off (such as in the morning), and its making a noise. I believe its the 'hemi' tick but its pretty pronounced for about... 20-30 seconds then goes away. here is a link to it... let me know what you think please.

I have a 2004 Ram 4wd hemi. I use 5w20 full synthetic. Use the weight on the oil fill cap.

Shell Rotella T6 full synthetic, 5w40. My 2004 is over just over 191,000 miles. I also put a can of Restore in each oil change.

No one has any input on the engine noise?

Redline has a oil additive you can add that has the highest level of molybdenum to help leave a layer of lubrication on friction causing internal parts. I think molybdenum is the correct term, could be mistaken

Honestly, I couldn't tell from the video. Sorry.
