Synthetic Oil

[Burla]

Another interesting one - http://pqiadata.org/Ravenol_DXG_5W30.html

And it has the correct Chrysler approval too.

Yeah GREAT oil, that is the pao version I do believe. TN moly and tungsten.

Someone should be trying this for hemi tick as well.

you got SG in there now huh?

Yeah SG 75w140. I have a MH diff cover as well which I'm sure is part of why it's so low....

You might be right, but we'll never know for sure till someone pulls their filter.

I own an expensive Italian motorcycle and must use their oil made from virgins tears and truffle oil. This is an American working truck and as such needs simple good old ‘Murican oil in any weight. No stinking lab analysis or forum recommendations! I ran valvoline because it’s on sale and go towing. Use 5-20, 5-30, 10-30 it don’t matter just don’t baby and spoil your truck so it votes Democrat!

Yup, good ol American Redline.

Damn caught a ping, I bet the last load costco gas didn't hit 87 octane. I will see if s1 will take it away, an entire bottle going in, but I kinda doubt it. I bet I will have to wait a tank and use 89 next time. I've used 87 about 1/2 the time, never pinged. Must be a bad batch...

I ran Agip 4t 20W50 in all my Ducs. Ester based, and worth it. They later kicked Agip to the curb and specd a Shell product that was not even sold in the US. I tried Spectro once and was not happy.

I agree, Agip is what I use but the price at the dealer is insane!! I buy online now. I also used motul for a long time and that was a good oil.

Not to hijack the thread but amsoil makes a motorcycle twin specific oil that is Ducati approved in 20-50. I used that in the multistrada and agip or motul in Aprila. Now back to ram discussion.

I'm pretty sure you are within the established perimeters of this thread.

Ahh yes I guess you are correct. I WAS speaking about synthetic oil.

 

[Burla]

We are informal here, this is more of an oil cooler thread, catch all for lubrication with an ounce of chat from time to time. You are more the welcome to inform is about Amsoil here, it is a popular oil for many of us.

I just got my pc Amsoil catalog in the mail today. Found it interesting it says extending drain interval beyond manufactures recommendation will not void you're warranty. It says they have to prove that the oil or length of service actually caused the failure. Sounds good, but I wouldn't try it.

That's what I was thinking, sounds like a long drawn out battle.

If memory serves me right, which is questionable at times, they used to advertise if you were under warranty not to exceed recommended drain intervals.

With ethanol mandates and the way they are building engines to practically need heavy detergentcy, I wouldn't be going over 10k miles on any oil. Can you imagine going 25k constantly with di turbo? Where a single bit of contamination can cause lspi. Just one man's opinion.

That's just it, there's all kinds of warnings about extending drain intervals on flex fuel vehicles because the ethanol fouls the oil. On regular pump gas they claim no more than 10% ethanol, but I would be skeptical of that on a regular basis. Maybe 10% + or - a bit.
