I recently bought a 2019 classic 5.7. I changed the oil immediately after purchase since I didn’t know what was in it or how long it was since the last oil change. I used Valvoline full synthetic 5w20 and a Royal purple filter. It has 34,000 miles on it.
Everything was fine but I noticed it’s quiet when first started when cold. However, if I drive it a while (30 minutes or more), and shut it off, it ticks on start up for a few seconds and then quiets down….not every time but often.
I’ve got a stash of Royal Purple 5w30 and I'm thinking I might give it a try to see if there’s any difference. Good idea????
