a UOA will tell you how far you should go with your style of driving but 5,000 miles is usually a safe bet with a quality oil. I am sure you can go further but the Hemi is a picky engine and I wouldnt chance pushing it.

We offer Red Line Synthetic oil. It has proven to be a great oil for the Hemi time and time again. You can order it here with a discount, NO promo code needed.

for your 6.4 0w40 is what is spec for you. I run Red Line 0w40 in my 6.4 Hemi!

My 2018 6.4 oil life monitor is set to 8k miles, but I change at 4-5k depending on how I use the truck. And use will depend on what your oil change interval will be. Highway, towing, sitting in traffic, whatever it might be and oil type all need to be considered. If you want to run long oil change intervals you'll need to do an oil analysis from Blackstone Laboratories; you just take a small sample and send it to them. It cost $28 and they will send you a report and tell you how your oil is performing and how long you can run it.

What oil do you plan on running? What oil filter you want to use?

Depends on mileage and time, I believe in 6 mos it automatically goes off, or whatever yor book says minus your driving habits. The algorithim with shorten the oci based on driving style and habits. Nick is the cheapest place to get redline bar none if you choose so, the only thing I would say is go for 5w40, it is a much better oil, even 5w30 great choice. Blue label redline only, don't go for the silver label or race stuff. The hths is a full 4 points difference 0w40 redline to 5w40, the 5w40 being higher.

I think the 6.4 uses something else rather then 5W/20
Could be wrong.....

I believe you are correct, they use 0-40 IIRC.

The OLM on my 5.7 is set for 10,000.

It has no idea how I drive or what oil I use.

Same as mine, that's why I go by time or mileage.

Scott: Give the fellas a bit of information on how your 6.4L will be driven -->(Example "Driving Style & Driving Habits")

Also what brand of Oil & Filter you will be using! -->Also very important info for others to know to help give the correct advice or recommendations.

Edit: Do a little bit of reading within the Synthetic Oil thread...

Many 6.4L owners post their Oil & Filter Questions / Advice within those walls.

Sorry for the late reply, I have many issues going on with this truck and Chrysler. I will be writing a full follow up once I get my truck back. Thankyou
