@AutoMechanic what's with the sad reaction emoji dude? That 0W-20 has a robust Euro additive package and it had an ending visc of 9.5cSt in my most recent UOA, which is heavier than a lot of xW-30's we see on here:

Wow, that HPL flavor is robust indeed!

I didn't vote because I don't own one, but I would run 5W-30 if I did. I lean on the thickie side these days.

I ran 5w20 in my 2016. Eventually I started using Lubegard Biotech in mine to quiet it down. Absolutely loved that truck/motor, was an excellent ride.

I voted for the 0w40 as thats what i ran for 60k miles. Currently has HPL 5w30 premium plus in it

This 2006 Charger R/T went at least 277K miles on 5W-20, as of the latest update on it in November 2015. I wonder where that Charger is now, since the owner refreshed most of suspension back then...

2020 Ram 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab 5.7 etorque. Schaeffer's Supreme 9000 Full Synthetic 5W20 with a Mobil One filter. I change it when the computer tells me to. Occasional pull our Winnebago Micro Minnie travel trailer on long trips, The 2 axle trailer weights about 4000 lbs. The Ram pulls like the trailer isn't their, even thru Pennsylvania's Allegheny Mountains. The gas mileage is awful, but the torque is great. Love the ride!!!

Not picking on you in particular but I really hate this phrase. What does it even mean to you? To me, if a truck is towing in the same gear it would empty, then "it can't feel it". If you're in 7th or 6th like I suspect you are when towing that on the freeway, the truck most definitely feels it.
