Hey, everything about my Ram is new to me and being in the UK not much info about them is readily available.

I’ve got plugs and filters on order. Just wanting to confirm what grade oil should be used in the 4.7?

Thanks.

Think i’ve found it. Worked my way through the workshop manual links till i found one that worked. 10W30 looks like a winner.

I’ve been looking through the manual and it lists 5w30 or 10w30 but looking through various motor factors in the UK 10w30 seems to be more motorbike orientated.

Searched the forum and went through various threads and 5w30 fully synthetic seems to be mentioned a lot. Is that the best?

Again it’s for. 2003 4.7

Thanks.

Straight out of the 2003 factory service manual:

I have a 2008 Ram 1500 with 4.7 High Output and I use Shell Gas Truck 5w30 fully synthetic. I think it's the right oil for my truck and the climate where I live.
