Hello everyone,

Coming up on getting an oil change in my new Ram. Wondering what everyone uses. I see lots of comments in the Hemi side but not much of anything in the 3.6 forums.

Let me know what your using and filter.

I ran synthetic 5w30 Supertech, Napa or Carquest oil in my pentastars. The 5w30 made me feel better. LOL

Now that the house brands are priced so close to name brands, it's a tough call (price of supertech went up 30% in one shot). I recently stocked up on a bunch of Havoline full synthetic 6qt boxes I got a decent deal on. I maintain 4 daily drivers these days so I do quite a few oil changes per year.

I've owned several Mopar 3.3 and 3.6 v6 engines and learned that when Pennzoil ultra platinum 5w20 oil (0w20 before they raised the price) I could go 8K and not have the oil change indicator come on like it would when I used other oils like Mobile 1 or even Amsoil OE...
