Yeah I see what you are saying. I did own a 2005 Dakota V8, that rear definitely had to have the extra additive, every 20k miles I had to change it as it chewed threw the additive and began to grab, shudder. Most 140 oils I have seen already has some LS additive in it, I just wasn't sure if it...

Requires different weight oil as well. something along the lines of 75w-85

It says its for the 1500 series limited slip but says the 2500/3500 doesn't require it. Makes a lot of sense doesn't it lol

Guys, I'd like some input here. Most if not all 75w-140's have limited slip additive in them if I am not mistaken, some more than others. So my question is, why does Dodge still recommend to add their limited slip additive to the oil? BTW just changed mine yesterday using Valvoline Synpower...

Not saying anything bad about your experience or what you should do etc but I have often read that you need to do a few oil changes on one grade/brand before passing judgement about oil useage, fuel mileage etc

Hope it doesn't happen on our Durango...so far it has been problem free in 16,000 miles and 13 months old. I hope it doesn't happen to me either on my 2016 Wrangler. Given a choice though I'd rather have the oil pressure sensor go than have the left cylinder head go bad. Hopefully both those...

Happened on my '14 Charger. Mind you, that was a 6.4L and it is right on the front of the engine. If I am not mistaken, its the same part number on the 3.6, 5.7, and 6.4........I did a bit of research on it when mine failed to see if it was common.

My advice: You are using a good oil, so do what makes you feel comfortable. If you want to change it early, do it, if you want to stretch it out to the OLM, do that instead. At the end of the day its whatever makes you feel better, in all honesty. I still try to tell my father that he doesn't...

Originally Posted By: JetStar I'm pretty sure My wife's 2017 Wrangler still calls for 5W-20. Planning on doing the first change at 5000 Mi. Yes, they want you to use 5w20 for CAFE reasons. I would download the full manual online, should be a lot bigger than the one supplied with the vehicle...

Think they changed filter design after 2013, didn't have one a walmart that fit the '14 Ram.

OEM, I've used fram, wix, and OEM. Fram actually held pleats better than wix, go figure. K&N makes one as well, but you about have to order them online.

Here is my 2 cents since I have this engine (the maxed out version) in my '14 Ram. Great engine BTW, good combo or towing, power and gas mileage. Ok, my filler cap and manual says 5w-20, but if you download the "full" manual, there is a loop hole that allows 5w30 if 5w20 is not available. It...
