For everyone that switched to Redline 5w-30, how early did you start using it?

Drove mine home from the dealer,put my drop kit on the following day,third day the truck was at the dragstrip,with less then 250 miles on it,drag raced it that night,the next day dropped the factory oil and filter and filled it up with Redline 10W-30 and RP filter,that was 41,000 miles ago,lol

3500 miles, best I can remember anyways. Been running now since 2011 at least, maybe earlier. So running it 8 years anyway, with that RP filter too.

When/if I get a tick I’m gonna switch from PUP to RL 5W30 then I’ll come back and update here

I switched roughly around 36k miles. I am currently at 43k miles without issue and after this long trip I'll be do for another change.

Yeah but if it aint broke don't fix it. Stop projecting to, you don't want the tick to hear you.

Switched to RL 5-30 at around 60k miles, got 90 k miles now. All seems to be working fine

I switched at 13,952 and am pushing 20K miles now. She's still stone deaf quiet with every start. Went with the Fram Ultra filter this first time but I've already picked up a RP filter for the next one. I'm going to go to probably 7-7500K miles and change it out so I can get that first UOA out of the way. I'm kind of anxious to get a baseline started.
Still trying to get the message out wherever I can but people are ******* hardheaded. Was talking to a guy on the Z week before last who actually started the thread off by saying how he was using 5W30 but then he preceded to bash me about how boutique oils and non OEM filters were a big part of the (cam and lifter) problem and how people who don't let their vehicle warm up and drive the hell out of them were also to blame. Personally I NEVER jump in a vehicle and go without at least 30 seconds of idle time and would never hammer the throttle on a vehicle that wasn't up to operating temperature. Hell I even baby it for the first mile or so to give the tranny a little time to warm up and start shifting normally.

This is the only place to discuss it, we tried Z, we tried Bob's, we tried hemi forums, we tried truck forums, they just don't get it. We all "thought" maybe we could spread the word and share having quiet engines, but it is worse then deaf ears over there you get bashed just for showing up. So I say forget them, it's our little secret and a benefit if you found ram forum. Glad that tick is gone. I lost count after around 20 to 30 rams quieted, yours came even after that.

Changed over at 3400 miles to RL 5w30. Been very happy so far. Truck runs smooth and quiet.

Pretty sad we are still talking about rams 7 years older then mine and FCA has done nothing to deal with this.

Burla, how many miles on the odometer now?

 

[Burla]

Somewhere around 30k ish.

 

[Bigskyroadglide]

Switched at 100k on my 11. Was running RP before and many others before that. Quiet as a church mouse now. About to do my 2nd change with RL 5W30.

I run the SRT fliter on my 11 and the RP filter on my 16. Both are quiet.

this makes me feel a little better. i bought my truck 2 weeks ago. she is at 68k and i want to make the switch to RL 5w30. im a little concerned this may cause issues switching.
