Great video! Going to try PUP in my Colorado next oil change.

Syn blend is a massive cash cow for oil companies. For the price they charge for syn blend, there is nothing gained. Pay the little extra for full synthetic.

There are no legal requirements around what percentage the blend is. So you could get a blend that is 98% dino and 2% Synthetic. Stick with synthetic.

That is what 5w40 is for, far superior to 15w40. Block heaters are excellent, those oil pan heaters are worthless.

Cummins certified Premium Blue Extreme 5w40 syn, so yes it will be fine.

You have no clue what you are talking about, he is correct. That oil is too thick for the cam phasers, it will harm the engine. Many diesel oils have higher ZDDP content, this will harm catalytic converters.

I would use it, Ford Motorcraft oil is an excellent product.

I'm guessing the new oil recommendations was to appease CAFE?

Stock was heavily discounted, none on the shelves anywhere, And no date from Shell on if/when more will be delivered.

Been scouring CDN tire in my area, no RGT 5w30 to be had anywhere? And word if there is a shortage? Or am I a victim of local oil hoarders?

People must be hoarding RGT 5w30, none to be had anywhere near me.

The 150/1500 has IFS, the Ford SD/Ram HD use a solid front axle. If you spec an HD gasser right, it will cost no more than a 1500/150. My next truck will be a Ram 2500 6.4 hemi, the 8HP75 (ZF 8 speed) auto is rock solid.

Would you run M1 Euro 0w40 in a Ram 6.4 hemi?

Cheapest and -40 do not play well together. I plan on keeping this truck a long time, cheapest won't be getting bought. I'd rather pay more for a full synthetic for superior cold starts. Next change will be Rotella gas truck 5w30, the change after that will be Amsoil.

I love their gear oil and 2 stroke oils, my biggest reason for asking about SS.
