    Synthetic Oil

    I get it. My '09 with 162K miles on it purrs like a kitten on the Redline 5w30 at idle, and roars like a lion when on the gas...not changing a thing! And I hope that Redline doesn't change a thing either regarding their formula on the Hemi Honey. It's expensive, but for a once a year oil...

    Official Redline SI-1 thread.

    Same here, I have a can of Jasco gel that is about a year old that I have used in the past with pretty good results. I have a Wix 57055XP filter that I plan on installing in my 545rfe trans., and will try out the Jasco as a paint stripper on the Wix filter.

    Official Redline SI-1 thread.

    Regarding the Jasco, I have read that before they changed the formula a few years back, it was actually a much better/more aggressive stripper than the current edition. I believe that they changed the formula for safety/environmental issues?

    Synthetic Filter Options for RFE transmsions....

    That's the one (Wix 57055XP) that I got for mine, along with the Mopar sump filter, though I have not installed them yet.

    Synthetic Oil

    I have been using Amsoil Saber along with recreational gas mixed 50:1 in my 2 strokes (weed whip, hedge trimmer, back pack blowers (2) and chain saw) for years with excellent results.

    Synthetic Oil

    I use the Wix 57060XP on my wife's Jeep Compass 2.4L 4 cylinder...I sure wouldn't use one on my 5.7L Hemi, lol!

    Edge Pulsar installed….finally

    I bought a new Suzuki Hayabusa back in 2003. Added a K&N air filter, Yoshimura 4 into 1 pipes, went +3 on the rear sprocket, and custom tuned with a Power Commander. Wow what a rush! Really glad that I survived that part of my life! Last bike that I had was a 2016 Harley Davidson Low Rider...

    Synthetic Filter Options for RFE transmsions....

    Thanks to you and Corey for the explanation of the quality difference of the OEM Mopar 5013470AE sump filter. I just ordered one from Amazon, the best price that I could find at $42 ($44.52 w/tax) shipped. Expensive for sure, but buying quality usually is.

    Synthetic Filter Options for RFE transmsions....

    I have some Jasco semi-paste like Hemimann used on hand, and plan on doing a Wix 57055XP filter to install in my 545rfe later this year. Right now it still has the stock type spin on filter in there. Also, is OEM the best choice for the sump filter?

    Lifter failure again… how to bulletproof?

    Rick, I have a Diablo T1000 tuner for my 2009. So when you say "up the idle rpm to 750", does that mean 750 rpm in park/neutral or in gear? Fully warmed up? Thanks, Steve.

    Someone good with diagnostics, your help is needed

    That is good to hear, hopefully smooth sailing here on out!

    Decent Deal on Amazon for Hemi Honey (Redline 5w30)

    For me, I only put on about 2K-3K miles a year, so I only do the oil change once a year. And at the price of Redline, that's enough, lol!

    Decent Deal on Amazon for Hemi Honey (Redline 5w30)

    Amazon has Redline 5w30 for $81.99 for 6 quarts...works out to about $13.66/qt. I just ordered 6 qts. to go along with the 1 1/2 qts. that I had left over from the last oil change. This Hemi Honey along with my stash of RP 20-820 oil filters will give me what I need for my annual Hemi oil...

    Actually, I was looking for this thread to respond to, but couldn't find it. I posted on my original post in the Engine & Performance topics about my truck "Transmission Stuck in 4th gear", read it when you get a chance. I did the repairs on Saturday.

    Transmission Stuck in 4th Gear

    Really wasn't too bad. The TRS plug was a bit of a struggle to remove from the solenoid pack, mainly because it's hard to get to because the shift linkage and front driveshaft are right in the way. I watched a couple of youtubes on doing the job, and learned from their mistakes. I ordered the...

    Transmission Stuck in 4th Gear

    Oh, I also added a transmission pan with a drain plug. It will make transmission service in the future easier and less messy.

    Transmission Stuck in 4th Gear

    Update: The weather has been unusually mild here, so I ordered a new Mopar shift solenoid kit that included the two transmission filters and a pan gasket. Got the truck out and did the job yesterday. Took quite a nice drive in it today, and everything seems fine. I think that the shift...
