So I just did my RAM's first oil change. Switched to Red Line 5W20 and Royal Purple Filter. I'm sure we all feel this way after an oil change, but it seems SO MUCH SMOOTHER. Even after only having 3k miles I swear the Hemi tick is gone...what little bit I did have I can almost not even notice anymore; must all be placebo.
Anyway.
So I want to say I'm more curious what your oil pressure and temperature is on Red Line, but I'm also curious about the others running different oils what they're running as well. I guess I'm mainly trying to see if we're all running about the same oil pressures and temperatures. Probably wouldn't be asking if I took a note on what I was running before this first oil change which would have been a cool comparison... Looks to me I'm right where I should be for it all, but that's just from my experience and knowledge.
59°F Outside
IDLE BEFORE LEAVING DRIVEWAY (was sitting cold for 24 hours):
Time : RPM : PSI : Oil Temperature
2254 : 1K : 59: <122°
2303 : 500 : 52: 123°
2307 : 500 : 47: 154°
Driving in town: 2K RPM was 55 PSI
Idle at stop light: 500 RPM was 34 PSI at 190°
WOT uphill: 6K RPM was 60 PSI
After the 18 minute drive; back home in driveway: 500 RPM was 30 PSI at 210°
