The Hemi uses 5W20. I'm changing tomorrow to synthetic. It was actually tough to find at the local parts store, but Wally World had plenty of it.

7qts.

 

I am going to do the same with mine and I also noticed Wally World had great prices on it.

 

Synthetic is the way to go! Amsoil or Mobile1

 

Sca, have you seen this stuff on Horsepower TV on the Spike channel, it's a performace additive to the oil and it gives you a 5% increase in HP as per their demonstration on the Dyno. http://www.px3lubricants.com/ Looks pretty interesting.

Mine uses 5w30, it is labeled on the oil fill cap.

 

Mine's full of 5w30 Mobl1 right now... The non-mds hemi's take 5w30, the MDS ones take the 5w20

Cool... thanks for the input. I didn't know they took different weights of oil. I went to full synthetic this morning. When I first got the D, I switched to synthetic blend... now full synthetic.

Also cleaning the throttle body as described in sca's other thread... sounded like a good idea so that's what I am doing this afternoon. Can't afford to drive the damn thing this weekend so I might as well work on it... LOL

 

:help:
Mine is a non MDS and mine takes 5w20 It is an 04'

Not a big believer in this stuff! :dunno:

That's wierd.... where does it say 5w20 on the oil filler cap? Check the manual.. somebody could put the wrong cap on.

I've run their gear oil before with no probs... but I wasn't a huge fan of the engine oil in my old 318... coulda been the filter too, twas only a fram extra gaurd or whatever...

 

Gonna do an oil change, transmission oil change, and gear oil change at about 35k with nothing but all Royal Purple. It seems to work well and I trust that company's products and their reputation.

Do some checking over at the Ram section...most Ram Guys go away from Royal Purple! It discolors your whole engine purple when you take it a part!

 

My cap says 5W20 also and mine is a 05 HEMI (non MDS), this is what the 05 owners manual says to use and this is what I follow: Engine Oil Viscosity (SAE Grade)
For 3.7L/4.7L engines SAE 5W-30 engine oil is recommended for all operating temperatures. For 5.7L engines SAE 5W-20 engine oil is recommended for all
operating temperatures. These engine oils improve low temperature starting and vehicle fuel economy. Refer to your engine oil filler cap for the recommended engine
oil viscosity for your vehicle.

Doesn't matter to me if it changes the color purple inside. I can't see it anyway. The main concern in the protection it provides right?

 

Mobil 1 Synthetic...... Synthetic everything!!

 

I've used only 5w30 Mobil 1 Synthetic.

 

Amsoil! I run it in everything; tranny, engine oil, brakes, diffs, etc.

 

Anyone have a site that compares the most popular and best products out there with any bias?

 

Anyone seen the new Mobil 1 fuel economy boost oil? I seen it yesterday for the first time. It is 0w-30 and says it exceeds 5w-30 for required warranty coverage. Thinking about switching to it, but my truck knocks louder with thinner oil.

 

me and my buddy, 06 hemi ram, use the mobil 1, they both like it.

 

Mobil 1 5W-20 100% synthetic is the only stuff my 06 Hemi (MDS) will ever drink. Dodge relabels Mobil 1 for the synthetic they sell.

Over here all the SRT4s are proudly advertised as coming with mobl1 from factory... no relabeling...

 

You must have more honest dealerships in Alberta.
My service advisor looked at me like I was from Mars when I told him I was using synthetic. :huh: He didn't even know Mobil1 made the stuff the parts dept sold. According to him, I'm the only one in town using it?????? :crazy:
