Yeah, it's official name here is hemi honey but if you want to call it redline go ahead. Stuff is amazing.2023 15k miles so yes. Been to two dealers. 3 times total, per dealers no issues.
After using the redline it honestly feels like a completely different motor. You can’t feel the vibration in 4 cylinder mode, which is awesome. Thanks for the info gentlemen.
not bad at allVideo for comparison

So your good with non spec oil and filter and possible voiding your engine warranty?
I totally agree. How many times do we see on here where someone has an issue and the dealer plays games trying to not cover it through warranty?!?! Or, taking 2 or 3 months for a dealer to look at it, then a couple more months to try and fix it and it doesn't get fixed...no thanks. I'm gonna run the best oil there is. I don't care what the manufacturer says is the best when it clearly isn't. My 6.4 says to change oil at 8000 miles. When I did Blackstone oil analysis, the PUP 0w-40 had sheared down like crazy between 4 and 5k...but I should go to 8k on that oil...no way. If I would follow what ram says to do for oil, I'm sure my hemi would be dead at about 70k miles...10k after warranty is up!!! Hard pass for me!!My truck had a noisy valve train too which I fixed by changing to a different oil (in my case that has been Redline, Mobil 1 0w-40, and now HPL). I don't see why there is such push back against this idea.
You have 2 choices: run dealer oil which sounds like crap and makes you worry something is being damaged, just so they'll fix it in the off chance that it blows before your warranty runs out: or, you take a chance with better oil and run that in your warranty period knowing that it sounds better, probably less (or no) damage, and reduce your chance that your engine dies before its time when your warranty is up.
To me it appears most engines fail outside of warranty. I'd rather protect my engine so that I don't need the warranty in the first place.
It paid off for me, as my warranty has expired and now I know that I was giving it every chance at living a long life, right from the first 15,000 miles of engine life which was about when I switched IIRC.
Right? Your choice is run and oil that makes your truck tick or one that makes it butter smooth and still is recommended for chrysler replacement. Not much of a choice. I'm not sure how any manu could prove your oil choice caused an issue especially considering it is a high performance oil. It cost them more to fight cases then pay them, so my advice never take the manu's word for it when they say they wont fix your stuff for x.y.z reasoning.what other choice do I have? Dealers are playing games.
You'd have to be pretty stupid if the engine blew up with the wrong filter and oil,and you sent it to the dealer with that filter on it,and that oil still in the pan. Takes all of 20 minutes to drain the oil and change the filter,before the dealer gets it. And don't give me any BS about morals,the dealer/manufacture threw that idea out the window years agoSo your good with non spec oil and filter and possible voiding your engine warranty?
Sound allot better, now i would put some LubeGard Biotech addative2023 15k miles so yes. Been to two dealers. 3 times total, per dealers no issues
Hearing that final video sounds allot better, it can't hurt to pour some LubeGard biotech 15oz bottle, to up your Moly content that forms platelets for the oil to cling to internal engine components, you're on the right path.After using the redline it honestly feels like a completely different motor. You can’t feel the vibration in 4 cylinder mode, which is awesome. Thanks for the info gentlemen
I've never had any issues with new oil in the pooched motor,never even been asked about the oil on the 4 engines i've had replaced over the years on a warrenty claim,but in case i was asked about the new oil,my explanation would have been i changed oil hoping it would fix it. The idea of keeping the old oil and filter isn't a bad idea though.Save the used factory oil and filter you took off. Put back in if you have a problem. Don’t put brand new oil in a failed motor and then take it to the dealer for repair.

Yeah, I bought a bunch of vehicles from the dealer I ended up sueing, they were a didge/chevy dealership next to each other, a Cummins, my current ram, jeep, Malibu, and the cheby 1500 that I sued them on. To be honest those are the vehicles I can remember buying from them, my guess is there was more. But yeah after buying several vehicles they pulled the ol we aint gonna fix that thing. So I don't know who paid for real because it was a failure of factory warranty how I got paid, so maybe it was GM or dealer or combo, cant remember, but yeah loyalty means squat in some places. Neither dodge nor chevy is making anything I have any interest in anymore, so I wont be back to those scrubs for all the tea in China, but hey thanks for the 13k fools. I'm not buying a di, I don't care how far they have come, nope ain't interested. So for me it will be used in the future of some ricer that utilizes low HP strategy. I'm ass grabbing 60 years old, my glory days are far behind me, now I care about an entire different set of wants.
sorry to hear it, but at least you now know this is internal. Also, give it time in most cases it takes time for the extreme pressure additives to plate, mine took 500 miles hemi395 took like 1700 miles, but then both trucks went silent. A lot of it has to do with what is clanking, if it is perpendicular force then EP additives are gonna plate. Plus, another feature of redline is it is sometimes known for this, as it can hype clean something when new, again give it time report back.Spoke too soon, put about 110 miles on it yesterday, hooked my bass boat up this morning (4300lbs) and she’s clacking louder than ever. This is insane.
