He's not going to have any problems with the oil they used.
Whom every gives them the lowest bid lol. I know from talking to several SM in different states over the past 10 years they all said the same thing, for non warranty oil changes they can use what ever brand of bulk oil they want that meets current oil requirements, for warranty work they have to use what ever the current flavor of oil they FCA requires, back in 2007/8 they used Mobile 1, being I see them pushing Pennzoil synthetic they maybe current supplier for warrant work oil...
and probably by now they're is a few hot shot drivers that have put well over 100K miles on the +'19 Cummins running 15W-40 in the sump without any issues. Not saying it's okay but if the engine isn't subject to the cold the W # of the oil isn't as important.
Dealership as it was in for them to look at my AC, the vent temp would only get down to 50 degrees when it was 72 outside
, I was told that is acceptable output temp and if I put it on max AC with just center vents they could get it to down to 45, he did not like it when I told him Bull *hit as my 16 year old Dodge would give you 38 degree vent temp at 80 without max AC, the vent door broke years ago, he did not like me saying that, tried the my old truck had R12, sorry but it had the same R134a my 22....
Have heard of 2 hot shot using that oil but they also had over 100K on the truck before using it. If my truck was under warranty I sure as heck would not be using 15w oil, I would not want to give FCA a reason to say sorry about your cam/lifter problems but you used the wrong oil...
where you see synthetic oils clearly and easily surpass dino oil is in Northern states and Canada. Synthetics are better in high heat, colder colds and overall life. Plus in general they are less alkaline and flow much freer on the dry starts.
That's not accurate, since the Ram owners manual also lists 10-30 non-synthetic oil as an acceptable oil for the current gen 6.7 motor. I debated which to use since I don't live in the snow belt. But given the price difference at Walmart between the 2 recommended oils was only $3 a gallon, I just picked up the 5-40 T-6. Won't need it for a year, but I like to be prepared.
Nothing wrong with having an oil change or two on hand as you never know when you may need it, I also keep 2 oil filters on hand & carry one of them in the truck at all times along with as et of fuel filters just in case... I'm currently using synthetic 5w40 in my 22, I used Rotella T6 5w40 in my old 06 CTD for over 12 years without any problems...
Thanks, I double checked before I posted. The change was that 15-40 non-syn was no longer an oil that was recommended. That was a recommended oil in my 18 2500 CTD. Now it's 5-40 syn or 10-30 syn/non-syn in my 22 2500 CTD.
