Its also spec'ed for NON synthetic 5w20 with some rated to tow up to 10000lbs. Talk about over working dino 5w20...
Fun fact (if you wanna call it that!)...I do the maintenance for an old gal on her '92 Honda Accord (260k miles and still going strong) with a little 4 banger, and the oil filter is the same size as the recommended filter for my 5.7 hemi...go figure!Thanks, I will go to the larger filter next oil change. Didn't know the smaller filter hindered the top end with oil.
well before you do that. would you say 0-40 or 5-40 for a hard working 6.4Cool, time for me to retire.

I run pup 0-40 now. no tick or strange noises. but on this next change i thought i would try redline. but was thinking about the 5-40 im always in the heat. winter i might see 15f but thats really it summer 90+ ill stick with my srt filter.Depends where on erf you are
No but for real, 0w40's are best effort oils as there was a lot of research and development on stay in grade specs, manu's used that weight specifically to avoid the api regs imo. Many of them seamed to achieve this with the use of stable base oils instead of just packing them with vii's. So many 5w40's don't have merc 229.5 or dexos lisc where the same brnad 0w40's do have those. So I'd look for those specs on a 0w40 or just trust PUP 0w40. PUP 0w40 will shear more but starts a little higher then those super class 0w40's that carry those desirable specs. What are friend has would only play in a warm state, likely the same as SAE 40, which would be great for a hard working engine, absent start to issues.

I really dont want to switch around winter and summer. i guess ill just stay with pup. and change if i ever get a tick.If it aint broke it don't fix it, but if you really wanted reldine then 5w30 would be the best play even at 15f. The issue with most redline's 40 weight are that they are damn heavy, so I wouldn't want any of them in my engine when it was 15f. However, if you are talking just a summer strategy, 5w40 is the way to go over any other 40 weight redline. In redline they break the rules other brands adhere to. So someone always needs to start with that when asking a question, because they have nuances in their specific formulas ram forum has found out over time. In redline 5w40 is their best effort oil over 0w40 redline.
