Hemi Oil Filter, 2 part question

[Gerald Sheppard]

Regardless of vehicle and filter brand I have always hand tightened oil filters. Never an issue. Always wipe fresh oil on the gasket.

 

[Dusty]

I've owned three 5.7 Hemi's in a row and never had the so-called "Hemi Tick" supposedly generated by the valvetrain.

I have used the Fram Ultra filter in the past since it was rated at 8 micron filtration (most are rated 10-14 micron). When I found that the Mopar M-889 was rated at 8 micron I began using those.

I'm currently not paying for oil changes at my dealer so they give me the smaller M-339 filter.

On my 2010 I used several different 5-20W oils. Since then I've used Pennzoil Ultra 5-20W full synthetic exclusively (Ram certified).

I get the oil changed when the message pops up in the instrument cluster.

Best regards,

I have only done one oil change since since I bought my 2013. I am using a K&N with the built-in nut. No issues so far.

I use synthetic pennzoil oil also since it to me is a pure oil refined from natural gas not crude.
The Mobile 1 filter for synthetic is a fine filter. Wix also has a good one. Likely a few more available. I never use factory brand filters. They are mode for them and we don't know the origin.

Wix makes NAPA's filters.

I purchased my 07' quad cab 1500, rwd, 5.7L Hemi in December 2013 with around 57K miles on the odometer. At 60K miles I performed all the required maintenance including changing the engine oil and oil filter. I used AMSOIL 5W20XL engine oil and a Mobil 1 Extended Performance Synthetic Oil Filter. Now at over 89K miles I still use AMSOIL synthetic engine oil, but it is 5W30XL along with the same Mobil 1 oil filters. MDS is turned off in my tune.

I think some of the filters talked about depend on geographic availability. When I bought my truck I found that the filters have the same threading as GM filters I used on my LS engine. I use the larger diameter K&N filter HP-2010 and it works well for me so far. I already have 20K miles on my truck in less than a year of ownership.

Just go over to Walmart and get a AC/Delco PF48E for under 5 bucks. Its a good OEM filter.

Don't get the E, they cheapened the PF48 when they replaced it with the PF48E. If you really want a GM part, get the PF48R, it's constructed much better, will withstand higher pressures. I use the PF 48R on my dry sump LS3.

I have been running the K&N Gold filters and PUP 5w20 for the last 3 years.
I’m currently changing to RP filters and Redline 5w20 this incoming oil change this week. Checking if this stuff settles down my valve train noise or not. If no change, will go back to the norm of the last 3 years.
There a thread on here about the Hemi tick and Redline that got me curious.

Yes, but I have other vehicles with regular oil filters, and every other vehicle I had my entire life had the regular filters.

But every time I read about you guys with the hemis whining about changing your oil filters I do LOL. In fact I'm going to do an oil change in a couple days and it'll take me about 20 minutes max. SO easy on a Pentastar...

Good comeback!

Had an 11 F 150 v6 that i noticed they took the time to stamp out a little funnel and mounted it on the frame right under the drain bolt. So mad i didn't keep the truck long enough to change the oil.

 

[Midloguy]

So, other than the specs on the filter, how do you even know there’s any difference. Old dark oil is old dark oil when you drain it.

I noticed that, even at Wal-Mart 5 quarts is $22.00.

walmart also delivers to your home.

I used the larger filter till I installed a relocation kit. Was the 20-820. I still have 2 unused. They fit all the trucks even though it says doesn’t fit them

So the 20-820 doesn't fit with the relocation kits?

It fits if you have the remote filter mount for it.

 

[HEMIMANN]

I'd advise not getting hung up on RP 20-820 filter. The RP 20-500 is almost as big and is an exact fit. Or just go with Fram Ultra Synthetic XP 10060 and not worry about re-locating this. There's bigger fish to fry on these vehicles.

The 20-820 fits stock too. I did it. Depends on availability but yes.

so which one is the filter mount for it?

And is the EVIL ENERGY 10FT 10AN 5/8" Nylon Braided CPE Oil Gas Fuel Line Hose End Aluminum Fittings Kit a good one to get with the Trans-Dapt 1127 Oil Filter Relocation Kit?
