Need help with a oil change situation

[Shtty6point4]

2016 ram 2500 HEMI 6.4 L

So what’s happening right now is my tick has gotten worse ever since I did my last oil change and I don’t know necessarily why. I use the same oil which is the **** that you’re supposed to use apparently 0W 40 mobile one.

The problem I’m having right now is I have one jug of Mobil1 0w40 5qt. I need 7qt to do an oil change as we all know, I don’t have another 2 qt… I have a half jug of Delo 15w40 for the skytrak at work and that’s it. It’s 12:30 AM and nothing is open right now I am supposed to be showing the truck in the morning while at work to sell it. I have no time in the morning to go to Walmart and get oil and change it all before work and dropping my son off at school and showing this truck to this guy in order to sell it what I’m trying to do is use the 5 quarts I have a W 40 and wonder if I can use 2 quarts of 15 W 40 and if I can, what would it do, can it help the tick that I’m experiencing or will it make it worse? Can I even use 15 W 40 and my engine with it being two different brands of oil? Sorry guys but let’s keep in mind real quick that I am clueless on everything that has to do with oil and all the special little things that are inside of oil and what they do. I know nothing about it. Please don’t treat me too bad on this question. If you can help me understand what I can do to help my situation or if I can use 2 quarts of the 15w 40 on top of the other five of 0W40
Thanks in advance

I would hope you don't try using 15w 40 oil. I'm not sure what this may do...
Do you still have your old dirty 0w40 oil that you drained? If yes then just use the 5qt of new oil and rest just put in your old oil, at least this won't harm anything...

As far as your engine noise, it should be same as before. Any "fix" from oil usually takes 500 miles or so to kick in, so it's not instant by any means.

Just pretend like the tick is normal for hemi and say it's just injectors...

Thanks, I didn’t know if I could put a little on top the cover the 2 qts I didn’t have but I won’t do that lol.

When changing your oil I’ve seen people talking about filling the filter. Never heard of that till recently can you explain that and what it’s for?

Adding that oil won't hurt a thing.That engine will never know.Adding oil to the new filter reduces the time the oil pressure gets up to good pressure when engine first starts.Or some say. I prefill my filters

As far as engine noise, hemi isn't the only noisy engines out there. Even my Chevy 5.3 rattles like a pos but runs on forever.As my old slant six cylinder engine did years ago

Glad I'm not the guy going to look at it. Are you going to throw in a tube of KY jelly or Poly grip?

average of 2 quarts 15w added to 5 quarts 0w is 4.3, so more or less the same as running a 5w. Not sure if thats how it works in reality but thats the way I see it.

I would buy the truck if I needed one.

All that would happen is that the oil would be slightly thicker. If you don’t live where it’s freezing ass cold shouldn’t be a problem. Might help with the tick because it would stick a little better. I use the pennzoil 0-40 that is recommended but I add a little Lucas oil treatment and it is thick as honey 6.4 hemi 180k kms no tick yet knock on wood lol

As long as it is not for Diesel engines because I believe that they have different additives
