    Oil life when not driving much

    I have a 16 Ram 1500 with the 5.7. It currently is sitting at 76k miles. I don’t drive the truck much (about 7k - 10k miles a year). My question is with the truck being driven so little do I need to change the oil every 3-4 months vs waiting until my mileage is due? I do my own oil changes and...

    I recently had an oil change 5w-20 and filter changed on my 2019 Ram 1500 5.7L. When I start the truck it displays 0 psi for then jumps to around 55-60 psi within seconds. Drove around the block about a mile and a half turned off the truck and the psi drops to 0. I’m monitoring this through the...

    from UP Pennzoil to Mobile1 Advanced

    Before summer, I changed my oil using Ultra Platinum Pennzoil 5w-20, mostly based on the poll here that had the UP with the most votes, but has Redline with a checkmark, not sure why. Anyway, about once or twice a week I heard an engine tick on start up that only lasted about 3 or 4 seconds. I...

    5.7 Hemi No-Mess Oil Filter Change

    After the first time I made a mess changing the oil filter, I decided to come up with a better plan. It worked, but that was the 'prototype' and this time I finally decided to make a video and share with others. This is what I do, and it keeps me from having to wipe up a mess afterwards, so if...

    Oil change

    Just wondering since we have 2014 and 2106 hemis. Both have been using conventional oil. Is it ok to get an oil change that uses a synthetic blend? I noticed now the dealers by me only offer synthetic blend or full synthetic oil changes and I usually go to an express oil change place that uses...

    Do you trust the oil change indicator, or change early?

    Just curious, as I've never had a vehicle with an oil change monitor before. I got my first change at 5700 miles, the indicator said 37%. I've read on "advice" sites (Your Mechanic) that under light use Rams can go 7,500 to 10,000 miles (not km) between changes. I now have close to 6K miles on...
