Great decision imo Sir [emoji106]Today I made my first RL 5W-30 OC @7701 miles. The truck doesn't have any ticks, slaps or any other unusual sounds. I just made a conscious decision based on the tons of information out there about its benefits for the C-L failure - especially this forum. The first oil change was done at the dealership @4600 miles, it will also be the last. Not surprisingly, they over tighten the filter as usual, but to my surprise, the oil drain plug was almost loose - just a bit over hand-tight. I grabbed a long handle flex head ratchet but I could have done it with my 13mm shorty combo wrench...that's pathetic, to say the least.
Planning to do a UOA @ 5k or so and will post results here. The engine does sound a LOT smoother and the oil looks like...well, Honey

I'd expect high iron and copper on your first UOA & the same untill you get 35k plus on your young Hemi , in fact I Believe 50k is the magic breaking in mileage [emoji16]
