    Spark Plugs

    Autolites. I bought them at AZ, Oreilly, and Advance because no one had more than 5 or 6 in stock. They were all $10.99 a piece +tax at all 3 places.

    I agree on both points. I just replaced the plugs on my hemi myself and just the plugs were over $200 for all 16.

    In the pics it must have been that the one on the left is turned a bit, I looked at them again this morning and they are pretty uniform, ground straps intact. The CEL did turn itself off though, so I will go ahead and replace the remaining 14 my next day off.

    I hadn’t noticed the ground strap. In the pic it looks like the left plug rolled up a little bit. I kept the ones I took out abd will definitely reexamine and post more pics tomorrow.

    I will try that as that could possible trigger a misfire as well. I can’t really determine wear with these iridium plugs. Do these look worn enough to trigger a CEL? I know they aren’t the originals.

    I haven’t used fuel additives in it since I’ve had it. None detectable over the past couple years I’ve had it. Oil was changed at 5k intervals until recently when through a job change where it mostly does short trips now.

    2019 Ram 1500 5.7 liter Check engine light came on a couple weeks ago after replacing battery. Thinking it was related to that I disconnected negative battery cable to clear it. Today, the light came back on so I went to Autozone and had it read. P0304, cylinder 4 misfire. Well schucks, I am...

    Which oil? 3 cars, short trips

    I wonder how we were ever able to get an engine over 100,000 miles with regular conventional oil.

    Which oil? 3 cars, short trips

    I’m just waiting on the “ride a bike” crowd to appear with no further advice related to the original question about oil.

    MDS comes on at all temperatures. As soon as the parameters are met it activates. I’ve had it come on almost straight out of the driveway.

    Also don’t really want to be consistently burning month old gas either.

    Please read a couple posts up. There are reasons I choose to drive rather than walk or bike.

    I use 5w30 myself but am Leary of going much thicker than that. I frequent several forums and am pretty informed about this generation truck and inherent issues which is why I tended to change oil at half the manufacturers directed schedule and use synthetic oils. I will figure something out...

    When I mentioned different routes, errands are what I had in mind. That or just to change the routine up once in a while. This is why I said every few days. Gas is a non issue even with burning a little more. I’m using so little as is I doubt I would even notice enough of a difference to think...

    OCI Guidance

    I have considered biking and/ or walking and still do play with the idea from time to time. I may end up buying a bike but I doubt it will be a long term solution to get to and from work but I would be able to use it at work to ride around the plant rather than walking. It’s more than...

    This is true, and it’s never really cold here. Not enough to matter anyway. I may try this route next change, I’ve already bought the 5w30 to change it in the next few days.

    1 page up from the one you posted addresses short trips specifically. It states to follow the OLM or 1 year. Like I’d said in the post where I posted the manuals direction, the current fill has approx 4,000 miles on it and has been in service for 8 months.
