Winter Oil

[Jonathan Penales]

I’ll be changing oil on the weekend if weather permits. Right now I’m using Pup 5w30, but I can hear a loud tick sometimes when its really cold. I’m looking at Redline 5w30 or Amsoil 5w30. Should I go with a different viscosity? And should it be full synthetic or senthetic? Fyi I’m in Montana. Thanks

0w30 or 0w20 paired with a good filter, read filter thread. That is what 0 winter rated oils are for, don't be nervous about them, generally at warm temps they operate at the same viscosity as 5 rated oils. Look at cSt's on stat sheet. Generally speaking, they aren't thinner.

red line or amsoil? Full synthetic or synthetic?

Redline has been the tick killer, high performance series. Nick @gotexhaust has a hemi package deal and you can add some si-1 as well.

Listen to burla he knows what he his talking about i have 2015 ram sport and i tried pup 5w30 and i had ticking on start up and i saw a lot of other guys on the forum had the same ticking and they recommended redline 5w30 with rp filter so i tried it and dam it really worked imo pup 5w30 is like water. Im doing my oil change soon as was wondering which weight to go with for the winter and as for a filter rp wix xp and maybe even the srt filter some guys are trying them i might try srt filter next
