Going out on a limb here, but wouldn’t an oil with Ti (only Castrol at this point and has both moly and Ti) be of benefit here especially with the Hemi camshaft? If most engine wear occurs at start up/warm up and titanium activates at a lower temp than moly, your getting that additional wear...

Does anyone know why the more budget friendly synthetics like QSUD, Rotella Gas truck, Havoline High Mileage have higher moly content (100ppm +) than the "premium" synthetics such as Pennzoil Platinum/Ultra Platinum, Valvoline Advanced, Castrol Edge, Mobil 1 AP, and Amsoil Signature which are...

If only Magnatec had Chrysler MS-6395 compliance for those of us still under warranty. I've heard Edge still has some of the "intelligent molecules" but I wonder what % vs Magnatec.

Yes, they said as long as I have documentation for each change noting date and mileage.

Yeah the filter isn't in the best spot. Going to try using a bag when taking it off to see if that'll help.

Good catch! The data on PQIA was also for Valvoline FS with Maxlife which looks to be thinner than Advanced based on the PI sheet on Valvolines site (8.2 vs 8.3). I ran PP in my 6.2 Silverado previously and while it performed well, it used almost a quart every time over 5k vs Amsoil XL did not...

I would prefer to stay with 5w20 in case of any warranty issues.. especially since it's certified with 100k powertrain. So instead of going 5w30, I figure I'll run a thick 5w20. I like the Valvoline additive package, but it looks thinner than QSUD, PP, and Edge to start + any viscosity breakdown...

I recently purchased a 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie with the 5.7 Hemi coming up on 35k and will soon need an oil change. At first I had my mind set on Valvoline Advanced Syn oil based on how good the additive package looks (Boron, Moly, Ti), but after looking at PQIA am a little worried about the...

I think the key here is just change your oil with your favorite brand that is MS-6395 compliant every 5k while under warranty and save some money. I've used boutique oils in the past with regular maintenance and still had a lifter failure in my 14 Denali at 70k miles. There's only so much oil...

I too just purchased a 2019 Ram with the 5.7 Hemi but am leaning toward using Valvoline. I'm surprised the new Valvoline Advanced Synthetic doesn't get noticed much around here.. Based on the VOAs attached, it looks to have almost as much Moly as PP and then outshines it in every other additive...
