Mind you this is only my opinion and thoughts. With some of it having actual back up @ BITOG.
It has been shown that M1 0W-40 has undergone some minor changes over the last year. If you notice the new bottles will have a small FS on the front and very small print. This has been said to possibly stand for fuel savings .
This has been talked about being a new formula made from GTL Base stock. Mobile one actually had a GTL plant built before Shell. But for some reason they did not put the plant in production. Maybe the price of natural gas turn them away from it?
This oil still carry some of the most stringent certifications oil can have. Which means it is still a remarkably good oil. I do believe after reading this oil only lost one certification after the new formula was put in production.
Honestly if I had a 6.4L this would probably be my go to oil. Due to the price and availability it would really for me be a no-brainer. If my 6.4 L was spec for 0W-40 oil. I would also look at German made Castrol 0W-40. These two would be my first 2 choices.
One thing I want you to think about to is you are just not limited with your motor to run a 0W-40 you have many options out there.
I honestly cannot say that Moly is the magic elixir of these hemi motors. My 5.7L hemi was super quiet and smooth on the Belgium made Castrol 0W-30 and German Castrol 0W-40 combo. (No Moly but Titanium). If the availability of the PUP becomes Null this will be the combo I go back to. Amazon is really struggling with keeping the price down on the PUP as well as keeping it in stock so the Castrol might be in my near future again. After my stash of PUP is gone.
One thing I forgot to mention was the ****** oil analysis of the M1 0W-40 has shown that with the new GTL base this oil is a very thin 40Wt. I will look for a recent VOA of this oil.

My laptop computer died so I'm doing this all off my phone so if words are mixed and messed up I do apologize my thumbs are big and fat.
