Dexos gets the fancy label, specs like ms6395 just get a statement on the jug. So it really is hard to even know what is fca approved, even on a PUP bottle just a generic statement. I have to think anyone who recommends it for ms6395 is good?
I wonder if @Burla can explain what the HEMI tick is, having worked extensively on it over the years.
I covered the 180F thermostat and the grille shutter delete over a year ago.
What are your oil temps when your not pulling a trailer?
About 200F oil temp in the summer, like right now, and 185F~190F coolant temp. In winter, they both get to 185F and stay there.
Nothing wrong with those temps!
That’s low. My DT runs 215-220F on the highway. I’ve seen it hit 230-240F during extended highway driving in hilly terrain.
Can you send a link to that? Did you tune to get your fan to turn on at lower temp?
heavy use of pao base oils? Why would Dave make that bold statement? I find it credible. He could have just said it is propitiatory and such, but he didnt. Unless proven different, I believe him.
Exxonmobil has 2 polyol esters available. A 4.3 cst POE with a viscosity index of 136 and a 5.0 cst POE with a viscosity index of 130. Im not sure where redline gets POE from though. They could be using mPAO which are very thick and much higher viscosity than normal PAO
They'll run right around 185 with a 180 t-stat.My oil temps don't really apply to most,but on a 90F day and 75mph they'll run between 190 to 195 .Even with a 160 thermostat the evic will still show engine temps of 185,but oil temps on mine will drop down to 185 to 190,and the heater output sucks,lol.I'm not so sure if the evic is actually all that acurate,when it shows the same engine temps with either a 160 / 170 or 180 thermostat,but you can tell the coolant isn't the same temp,just by putting your hand by the heater
