Whoaa I didn't say you were pushing amsoil. Im only showing some evidence of how good amsoil is. ( Even though now i see that document was put out by amsoil themselves.)


Apologize ill wait.

Sorry about that. I thought you were part of the RL posse.

Nevermind I thought something else.

 

[Midnight Storm]

14? yea, that is a lot

Hopefully I’ll be the 15th soon, as tomorrow I am dumping my M1 5w20 for RL 5w20 with a RP filter.
I’ll vote in a few weeks when I get some miles on it.

again, thanks @Burla for the time and effort you put into helping our trucks run better

You are not part of the Redline Posse?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN A RAM TRUCK, YOU CLOSETED FORD OWNER?

Stone Him with used Redline Jugs.
Stone him, I say.

Pssst, this is Sarcasm.
Figured if you don;t know enough to be a Redline Posse Member, I better explain it to you.

Psst Psst
That was sarcasm too but, admit, it, it was damn Funny Sarcasm.
You know it. It might tick you off but you know it;s funny.

If he’s ticked off maybe he should drink a little redline 5w30? You know... to stop the tick?!

I know from this forum that Redline is one of the best oils, but I thought PUP was as well??? Wasn't it a go-to oil? I thought pop on here had said guys were buying it almost in bulk when they saw it on sale?? So PUP is NOT a good alternative to Redline then?? Up here Canadian Tire stores throw it on sale 40% quite a few times a year, so it's very easy to get vs Redline, which is never on sale.

 

[jlongjohn]

I have just purchased RL and a RP filter just through research on this forum
and others. Such as the filter tests, and references to Bobs on the oil info. You don’t have to choose based on people’s opinions or their own experiences, though that has helped me also. The data available and information such as the additives in the oil compared to others, like moly, all appeal to me. I used to do work with nanotech and a lot in compounds and metals, lubrication is a science and data is available here to support it.

That said, the post is about whether RL worked for Hemi tick, some of you just have a hard time staying on topic. The art of skillful conversation and debate is a lost one, most of you just want to argue and that helps no one.

I will post up my oil change details and my experience after the change to RL.

Back to the regular programming.... I mean bickering....

PUP is an excellent oil and it's a great oil to run If your Hemi is quiet, particularly the 0w40. Good cold flow properties and it has a good amount of moly.

Thank you sir. I have told any Hemi Ram folks I work with that in they don't wanna spend the $ for Redline that PUP is a good choice. Glad I don't have to go tell them to stop now, lol.

Sorry to go a bit off topic guys, back to the topic of Redline usage!

There are a lot of good oils out there that don't get recognized such as:

Rotella

Lucas
https://lucasoil.com/products/lucas-motor-oil/synthetic/lucas-synthetic-motor-oils

Motul
https://www.motul.com/us/en-US/products/6100-save-lite-5w20

There is a lot of misinformation put out there by armchair oil engineers.

Unless you are looking for molybdenum. Which the hemi seems to need. Then there are less options.

Even Subaru oil has it.

Well, i replaced my OEM oil after just a few mile, ran nothing but Penzoil Ultra Platinum,, dealer oils changes, and my LIfter chewed up my camshaft.
They fixed it, under warranty, and did an oil change , at that time, with Dino oil. Truck actually chattered worse than it had when I took it in. Way worse.

Just did a oil change, last week. Was planning on switching over to Redline and doing my own oil changes but it;s cold, I;m Old and had football to watch. So I took it to teh Dealership.

They used PUP and wheel motor is quiet, once more, I do not trust it.
Just my Opinion, based on my own Experince, with this Hemi.

Yes, PUP will lube Lifters, very well, and quiet the lifter chatter, right now. ...ONCE THE OIL PUMP LIFTS THE OIL TO THE LIFTER. Now, Just a hint of tsk'ing, at start up.

What it does not do is stick around the bottom roller or the pin that keeps the damn roller on the lifter. So when I do start it up, the lifter does not wear out its pin and roller, at the bottom of the lifter. Over time, this lack of lubrication causes the lifter to fail.

From all the research I have done, again, my own thoughts on this topic, is just like SYnthetic oils lube better than DIno oils, so too does the Moly of Ester based oils stick around longer on the parts it touches and protects them better. When there is Oil "Bleed down:. from teh Heads , back into the Oil Pan, through Sitting or what have you.

Have a ton of friends who swear by this or that brand of synthetic.
again, their own experiences.
You name, I got Car Guys, who swear by it.
BUT, none of them have Hemi's. Mostly High Dollar import cars.

My Hemi died on PUP.
These guys running Redline are having long term luck with Redline.
Now, I am sure there are guys who are having the same long term luck with PUP.
I did not.

Not sure why not.
Was it just a bad lifter?
Was it the reason stated above, that since PUP has little to no moly, lack of Moly caused the lifter failure?
I do not know, not for sure, I am not a Scientist.

I do know that I plan on switching over to redline and that Royal Purple filter too.
Why? Because I ran PUP oil and OEM FIlter and damn cam got chewed up.

Next Cam and LIlfter repair is on me, my Dime. I would rather spend a little more per oil change, and feel good about it, then get popped for a cam and lifter repair.


Hope this helped.




PS

Thank you for bringing this up.
Reminded me to get some LIquid Moly and put it with my PUP.
Not sure if its going to help, or not, but sure made me feel better.

O.P. Sorry for getting off topic .

Watch the video I attached here about the lifter. It has nothing to do with the oil. In the video it says that the problem occurred in pre 2016 engines.

PUP has a high amount of Moly. see the link in my signature line.

Not trying to take the topic of thread off another direction, it is a Redline usage poll.
But I always appreciate all the folks on here and info and chat they bring.
I went ahead and called Canadian Tire here, and they do not have PUP in 0w-40 (they only have Mobil 1 and Catsrol in that weight) They have 5w-20 and 5w-30, at $56 for 5 litre jugs on sale for $44. I also called a local auto supplier - Trackwerks - that has Redline, 5w-20 or 0w-40 at $20.99 a quart.
So it can get harder to talk buddies that like their trucks, but may not be 'forum enthusiasts' like most of us on here, into Redline over another cheaper oil that may be good too.
Again, don't wanna take this thread of topic too far, I appreciate reading everyones experiences and input.

Cheers!

If I were you I'd go with:
5 qts of mobile 1
2 qts Rotella T6

Miracle mystery oil in the gas.

It will so quiet you will wonder if the engine is on.

The results are speaking for themselves... 24-1 now on improving or eliminating the tick vs not helping at all. I’m glad this thread started just in time for me to get my redline in today
