    ZF8 Lifeguard tranny fluid 1st change 160K miles 2018 Ram 1500 4x4

    Yep, they recommend the SS fuel efficient ATF. I've done two drain and fills after replacing the pan with a PPE aluminum pan. 12K miles so far on it, running silky smooth.

    ZF8 Lifeguard tranny fluid 1st change 160K miles 2018 Ram 1500 4x4

    Changed this last fall, my 2018 Ram had 160K miles. First fluid change (yeah, I know, me dumb 😀 ) Just for context I had a relatively gentle 160K miles, no towing, very little city driving. (I'm at 172K now, I replaced with Amsoil SS fuel efficient ATF) Here's an image of the blackstone report...

    Change oil every 2k?!

    On my 2004 Ram 1500 5.7 I did 10K full synthetic. I gave away the vehicle at 275K miles in 2018 due to excess body rust. Got tired of patching it up before every inspection. It's still zipping around town by young man, family friend. My 2018 Ram 1500 3.6 I've been a little more careful doing...

    Change oil every 2k?!

    Sheesh! I wouldn't buy a car with an engine that's that hard on oil. That would have mean having 80 oil changes on my 2018 Ram 1500 by now. :ROFLMAO:

    AMSOIL Signature Series MV 100 % synthetic. red cap vs blue (fuel efficient)

    I plan to use it on my 2018 Ram 1500 8speed zf tranny. According to the amsoil site both qualify for my transmission.

    AMSOIL Signature Series MV 100 % synthetic. red cap vs blue (fuel efficient)

    I've decided to go for broke and change over to Amsoil SS ATF. What's up with this blue bottle one. Fuel Efficient. Any supposed trade offs to using this vs the red cap. I get suspicious when I read fuel efficient. Makes me suspect there might be a trade off. Both seem to be spec'd for the...

    Extended Drain Oils

    I did 10K oil changes for almost 20 years. Did it on my 2004 Ram 1500 5.7. I gave it away in 2018 with 275k miles to young man in neighborhood that need a car. It's still zipping around town. I did the same with wife's 2000 Caravan for 160K miles. By that time we were tired of patching up the...

    2018 Ram 1500 v6 pentastar pcv replacement?

    The PCV on this truck is at back off engine close to firewall. Visual and physical access very limited. Looks like It has to be done blind. I bought a low profile mini ratchet wrench for the T25 screws. Anyway, has anyone here done it on this truck? Any tips appreciated.

    Picture of two cartridge filters for 3.6 after 8k miles.

    Thank you for the replies. I usually buy my filters at walmart. The M1 seems (via eye examination) the best built, but not always available. Priced about the same as Mopar so I grab it when available. I'll check out that Wix/Napa.

    Picture of two cartridge filters for 3.6 after 8k miles.

    This is a side by side of two used filters from my 2018 Ram 1500. Both run about 8K miles. The one with the wavy pleats is a Fram ultra synthetic and the other a mopar. Both made in Korea. Should I be worried about that Fram? this is the first time the filter has come out wavy like that. I've...
