Oil ?

[Ramnewbie]

Anyone have a part number for the oil funnel that locks into the fill port on the Hemi like the oil cap does. I can find them for 3.6 and 6.4 but they do not say they fit the 5.7.

This funnel works really well.

I checked with my dealer shortly after getting my 2018. They use the Mopar 5w-20 conventional made by Pennzoil. However, I'm considering going with Pennzoil synthetic when I have it changed. My concern with a different weight is how that might impact any warranty if work was needed.

So the OEM oil on the 2018 5.7 HEMI is a NONE synthetic Pennzoil 5w-20 oil? Is this confirmed? Because the Pennzoil website suggests:

Premium Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W-20
Standard Pennzoil Gold 5W-20 Synthetic Blend
Alternative Pennzoil Platinum 5W-20 Full Synthetic

And that Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W-20 comes back as a fully synthetic EVERYWHERE I look.

I was just thinking, I can't believe how many of those funnels I threw away, lol.

The oil that FCA made in tandem with Pennzoil specifically for the hemi is PUP 0w40, high moly, high detergency, clean base fluid, synthetic oil. What ever oil hemi owners choose, they should at least use that formula as a guide. There are very specific reasons they use this type of oil in an application that has lubrication issues.

My problem with FCA recommended oil is that PUP 0/40 was supposedly designed for the hemi, I'll give you that. Now if it was designed for the hemi, why not all Hemi's? Simple answer CAFE. That's the reason you'll never see the 6.4 in a 1500. Well, at least from the factory.

Does Redline 5w30 fulfill that standard?

According to redline the 5/20 meets the 5.7 standards and I believe the 0/40 meets the 6.4 standards. ( I'm not sure what the specific ms number is for the 6.4). Either way just go to redline website, select the oil you want to look at, then go to OEM specs and it will give you a list.

As far as 5/30 redline meeting the specs, I'd venture to say it surpasses the specs, however that's just my opinion. If you go to any oil company's web site they all recommend the weight of oil that the manufacture does.

PUP clean base oil- Redline even cleaner yet

Pup high moly- Redline higher moly

Pup high detergency- Redine even higher detergency and polarity of ester are an additional cleaning.

Yeah redline is cut from the same mold. You can't go wrong either way.
