Didn't @dnewton3 goes crazy long changes with this engine in a Taurus with pretty basic oil? Or was it someone else? Where I'm going with this is, it's not a hard on oil engine, so while you're situation is worse than others, the engine itself isn't going to inherently destroy the oil.

So what I'm reading here is Like many things, it's not necessarily that there are more instances, it's that we're more aware of the instances. However, when you look at percentages, 1% of the 1955 production volume is miniscule compared to 1% of 2024 production volume.

Did they track stuff like recalls and TSBs back then?

I agree, however when the front is thinner than the rear, I understand that a little since probably >95% of the time the front is just free spinning. For the record, my Ram has 75w90 in the 75w85 spec'd front.

You should still test with a meter, just in case. Battery switches do help. How long does it sit at a time? Consider a battery tender.

Lots of interesting information. Thanks This has a dedicated turbo coolant system. There's also a dedicated battery for the start/stop system. Don't know much more about it than that and that we had to replace the start/stop battery on our Pacifica a couple years ago.

Not that I've found. I've dug around the settings some, but I'm sure I haven't explored it all yet. That's in the thoughts. There's a couple simple plug and play options for $100-130. Just need to figure the better one. We had it on the past Pacifica and it was more annoying because of the...

Probably car groups but turbos used to be oil cooled, turn off the engine and stop the cooling and lubrication. Makes sense.

I learned that turbos should be given a chance to cool off a bit before shutting down. Doesn’t have to be extravagant, such as just pulling into your neighborhood where there’s low load is fine. Don’t shut it off straight from a highway run. Our 2.0T Wrangler has auto shut-off which seems very...

I don't know the full offering, however, the Battery Tender brand you can attached a pig tail to the battery but you would still need to plug into it. My point was only that if it's not moving, plug it in unless you plan to use it tomorrow. In this pic, you can see the eyes that you would...

Get a tender and leave it plugged in all the time. They're pretty smart to take care of the battery. I destroyed a car battery by lack of use. After that, I got a tender and if I was sitting for more than a day, I plugged it in. It usually sat for weeks at a time.

Big note on the Ram window sticker 3.92 gears I don't know how much it will affect mileage, however, that thing will probably pull like crazy. My amateur opinion of the transmission gear ratios makes me thing that the extra 2 gears on the Chevy won't compensate for the rear gear. So if you...

I've been using I Love PDF for these tasks.

That's what I figured. Looking at HPLs options currently. I know they won't have official certs.

Curious if anyone knows any extra information about this spec. Wasn't able to find much noodling around Google. Based on the "backup recommendation" of using API SP/ILSAC GF-6A, it's probably not much more than those specs. Kind of like how the MS-6395 wasn't anything special.

There are options on the market where there is a wide angle front and rear facing cameras that are connected to the same data output. The BITOG sponsor Vantrue has 2, 3 and 4 channel options to cover a lot of real estate.

I had a U-Haul tire failure. Fortunately it was observed at home. Contractor came out, popped a new tire on and billed U-Haul, no charge to me.

My doctor is anti-gatorade. Her advice was water with sea salt and if you want lime or lemon juice.

According to the 2016 Ram owners manual: "We recommend you use MOPAR Antifreeze/Coolant 10 Year/150,000 Mile Formula that meets the requirements of FCA Material Standard MS.90032." Seems theres a general confusion about it...
