What engine oil do you use in a 5.7 Hemi (non-eTorque)?

[UKWildcats9696]

I just bought a new 2022 1500 Laramie late December, and after driving from St. Louis to Orlando and back I have 3500 miles in it. I’ve always used Mobile 1. What do y’all use in your Hemis?

Full synthetic 5w-20 for my 2014 5.7. Yours I believe takes 0W-20. Pick your poison.

RL 5w30 or equivalent.

Only people that haven't read the oil thread would run 5w20 / 0w20 junk.

Or people who don't want to risk any warranty issues and chose to use the recommended oil. I can see you being more choosy about which oil you're using as your truck is more than 10 years old. But since this is the 5th gen forum it's likely the majority of people in this forum are still under warranty.

Mobile 1 for over 45 years. Used Penzoil once and lost an engine and the mechanic even told me it was the problem.

I ran Penzoil in all my Mopar products, 4 RAMs, my Challenger Scat Pack etc... never had an issue.

I run M1 Supercar in my Camaro.

Redline 5W-30 has one of the best reps as far as oil goes for a Hemi,but Mobil 1 in 5W-30 isn't far behind,if that's your preferance. 5w-20 is a bit light and 0W-20 is even worse,but if you're worried about your warrenty stick to what's reconmended,but both 5W-20 and 0W-20 do have a bit of a rep of causing cam and lifter issues

Please provide links to reputable data showing 0w-20 and 5w-20 caused cam and lifter issues.
