    Is this the correct Redline 5w30 to quiet the hemi?

    That's what mystifies me - so we change the lifters and just get another 8 years out of the truck if I'm lucky? That doesn't really make sense to me. Yes, I've heard of the guys capping the eco holes, tricking the computer, and using a 2500 cam but that is of course not what my tech is talking...

    So I have a 2013 tradesman 5.7" - I put in Redline 5W30 for 6k w/ royal purple filter and no change in tick, never went away but never got worse. Now that the weather is a bit cooler, the tick is worse. I took it in TODAY, FINALLY....and yes lifter tick has been comfirmed by my tech. We are...

    600 miles in and no change yet. She quiets down quite a bit when at operating temp but she's louder than ever on startup, ticking away. Will give it some time!

    I've got the 20-820 on the way with 12qts of RL 5w30 following close behind it. I could do a before and after video of the sounds, might be interesting to say the least. The truck was likely a fleet truck before my Grandfather bought it, and has sat for a bit until I got to it. It's only had...

    Just got off the horn with 'em they said no problem they'll put in whatever I want, same with filter. Hopefully the last question here - Amazon telling me that the Royal Purple 20-820 Will not fit my '13 5.7L --- is that right or should I be getting the 20-500? I am a complete newbie here to...

    I'v got all the info I need from you guys here - I have seen the numerous people running this oil and filter combo, I've seen the numerous vids in other threads you've contributed to as well. I did some searching outside the forum and the video I posted above made me think, well, no one on the...

    In this video in particular he says it will throw a code: (@6:05) This video in particular, a 10 year Mopar mechanic, is why I ask the question in the first place. I am going to do the RL 5w30 / Royal Purp filter regardless, I have nothing to lost at this point.

    Interesting - maybe the codes are in fancier trucks or just scare tactics from those who are vehemently against using anything other than 5w20! I've seen many YouTube videos mentioning this. Thank you for the reply!

    Is this the correct Redline 5w30 to quiet the hemi?

    Been reading TONS of stuff on the old tick through this forum, and I've learned a lot - perhaps in lieu of starting another thread, I could ask this here -- NEW Hemi owner, 5.7 2013 with 83k. I inherited this truck after it sat idle for a few months. As soon as I got it, we got an insane cold...
