Was informed today that buddy's new Warlock has a 0W20 oil cap on it. Thought that was interesting considering the long discussed hemi oil threads.

At least for the 1500's, they started calling for 0w 20 for the Hemi in 2022 models.It's a v6 isn't it? The newer pentastar v6 have been calling for 0w20 for awhile. That is what our pacifica uses. Full synthetic 0w20. From a quick search even the new hemi still calls for 5w20
What does the manual say?Was informed today that buddy's new Warlock has a 0W20 oil cap on it. Thought that was interesting considering the long discussed hemi oil threads.
Google says the 3.6l takes the 0w20From my 2022 1500 classic owners manual
5.7L engine-0w20
3.6L engine-5w20
My wife’s rav 4 takes 0w16 I believe
Like @Burla said, there's essentially no difference between 5w20 and 0w20. The 0w will pump a hair easier in extreme cold is about it.
Yhea, they call them electric.Whats next…air cooled engines?
Welll, yeah there is that!Yhea, they call them electric.
Wife’s car calls for 0w20. It’s a 2013 Corolla. Her mothers car is a 2010 Corolla. Same oil. Parents 06 Corolla was 5w20. I ran 5w20 in the wife’s car a few times but actually notice the mpg drops about .5-1 mpg over the course of an oil change. Roughly 5,000 miles. Than again her car gets 30mpg average. Just did her oil change today. Used a Fram ultra synthetic filter like usual. Comes pink in the box with a wire cage inside. Still soft after 1yr/5000miles
No direct injection in this car. Still MPI. The oil is fairly dark but not quite jet black though. And the filter isn’t that bad. The picture makes it look darker. It was a very dark brown in person but it’s also a darker pink color when new so can’t really say on how “dirty” it is. It’s fairly close to the same color as the oil honestly.Thanks for sharing info and pics. It's amazing how visually dirty those filters get at "only" 5,000 miles run time. Then again, that might be a GDI engine. These load the oil with soot during rich burn regime since a direct fuel injector doesn't atomize the gasoline enough to burn completely instantly @ only 60psi or so.
Diesels injecting @ 30,000 psi do the job. I'm surprised they've gotten gasoline direct injection pressure up that high - that's pretty dangerous owing to the -40 degree flash point (diesel is +125 degree F).
If they'd only use dual injectors (*sigh*).
