Cleanest way removing oil filter
Don't let the oil get too hot and wear a disposable long sleeve shirt, mine just gets rain and sunshine for cleaning and used again next oil change.

5w 20 or 5w30
My solution was to use 5-20 PUP full synthetic with a can of BG MOA and I change it at 50% life. Just rolled 70k yesterday, no tick and carries the same oil pressure it did with 100 miles on it. I dropped the factory oil at around 700 miles and have used the afore mentioned since. My...- dls56

New Ram owner. I crossed over. I may have made the wrong choice
Good luck! You're going to love your new to you truck. I never worry about the MDS and can't see how it couldn't be saving me fuel. I do a lot of highway driving and like seeing the eco light on, lol. CHANGE THE OIL REGULARLY is good advise for any vehicle. DUH! Welcome to the Ram family brother!- dls56

What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?
Had new tires put on, including alignment. Michelin 275/60/20 Defender LTX. Nice and quiet. There was still a little life on the old ones, getting squirrelly on wet roads though.- dls56

Oil change - Not at the RAM dealership?
Thankfully still able to do it my self. Also rotate tires with every oil change 5k+/-. Wouldn't feel comfortable letting most people work on my truck and don't want to pay the premium for the people I do feel confident in, lol.- dls56

What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?
Oil and filter PUP 5w20 K&N oil filter @ 48% life left (5k+/-). Rotated the tires. My inexpensive Harbor Freight torque wrench died, lol. Cleaned and dressed the K&N air filter. General maintenance, life of a vehicle.- dls56

Another MDS Question..... Oh NO! Not Again?
Having it on doesn't bother me. But if you want it off then by all means shut it off. My thing is, use a good oil and filter and change it around 5k miles. No tick, fingers crossed. Best wishes!- dls56
