I’m gonna start off by saying that I’ve always used Mobil One Full Synthetic in every vehicle I’ve owned for over the last 15 years and have never had a single problem with it but what really is recommended for the newer, late-model Hemi’s?
I’m coming up on close to 2000 miles on the clock on my new truck and the oil life meter is still above 80% so if that’s accurate, I still have a long time yet to go before the truck says it needs an oil change but shouldn’t this factory oil be changed sooner, irregardless if the oil-life meter for the truck’s first change? Do they put any kind of break-in lube or anything in there at the factory? What oil do they put in at the dealership when they do your oil change?
I’ve seen a lot of this Pennzoil ultra synthetic(or whatever it’s called) as being the choice oil for Hemi motors but what makes that oil any better than Mobil 1 Full Synthetic? I dunno why it seems I have such an interest in that oil, it’s just that it’s the brand I’ve trusted for a very long time. I’ve never been a fan of Pennzoil but that’s only from well... over a decade ago when a lot of people weren’t fans of Pennzoil so I would hope that things have changed in that length of time.
Just looking for opinions of what really ought to be used because keep in mind, I have a lifetime warranty on this truck so I don’t even know if Mobil 1’s oil is warranty-compliant.
Thanks.
