    yes another oil thread 5w20 or 5w30 PUP

    Go with 5w30. If I ever end up with another Hemi that's what I'll be using from day 1. Quaker State Synthetic is another option with a fair amount of Moly.

    YOUR 2ND CHOISE if there was no ram

    Tundra. Not the newest tech or drivetrain, but it's proven to last. That's more important to me that the latest and greatest.

    Cam failures or not. How many miles have you gone?

    I had around 137k miles on my 2012 when I sold it. No issues thus far, though I did occasionally have some ticking at idle. I always ran synthetic oil (mostly 5w20) and changed when the maintenance minder said to. Usually around 8k miles. It never used any oil. Truck has now been replaced...

    Are all dealers overfilling engine oil?

    I've yet to have an oil change done at a dealership that was done properly. Most of the time they are overfilled. That's why do everything that I can on my vehicles. Usually the least experienced and least qualified guy in the shop is doing the oil changes and tire rotations. That was the...

    So what you're choice of oil?

    I'd run a 5w30 Full Synthetic. Redline would be best, but if you don't want to spend that kind of money then look at Quaker State Synthetic or Havoline Synthetic from Walmart.

    I change mine according to the OLM using full synthetic oil. Mine typically goes off at 7-8k miles.

    Why are manufacturers still putting chrome on trucks?

    I'm a fan of chrome. I've had both chrome and color matched, and prefer the former.

    Yet another oil thread..

    If you don't want to pay for PUP, I'd be running M1 0w40 or Castrol Edge 0w40 from Walmart. $20-$25 per 5 quart jug, depending on Rollback/Sales. Add lubeguard if you wish.

    long term use of RED LINE oil

    I recently sold my 2012, which had developed the tick. I was worried about the cam and lifter issues, so down the road it went. It spent most of it's life on Mobil 1, and I wish I'd seen all of this information about Redline before I got rid of the truck. It may have been a cheaper fix than...

    Spark plug change interval?

    I changed out the plugs in my 2012 at around 45k miles. Truck was still running well and the plugs looked fine. I replaced with Bosch Platinums and the truck was still running like a top when I sold it at 137k. I've used Bosch for years in most of my vehicles, and have no complaints and no...

    Uncle Tony SPEAKS on cam and lifter failure in 5.7 hemi

    This is one of the best posts I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing. I have a 2012 Ram with the Hemi with about 135k miles. I've had the tick for awhile, and my truck has seen everything from 0w20 Mobil 1 to various 5w30 synthetics like Pennzoil Platinum. I'm currently running 5w20 Mobil 1...
