While he's under warranty he must be a good boy. Hemis are good on oil, he won't have much to talk about there.

Follow the owners manual for OCI mileage and a WIX oil filter and the hemi will be fine.
I have an '11 Hemi Ram 1500. My first oil change reminder came up around 4500 miles. From then on It has been 7500-8500.
It calls for 5w20, but I've been running 0w20 with no issues at all.

+1 Been doing 6,000 OCI on Synpower since 05 - 102,000 miles and never have needed to add any oil between changes, not much to talk about. No drama..

the newer chrysler products have some version of Pennzoil as the FF(IIRC), and alot of the dealers have switched over to Pennzoil.
unless it specifically calls for synthetic, you can't go wrong with PYB and a wix filter, in the weight called for in the manual (likely 5w20), @ the specified intervals.
if it does specify syn, PP.
I know my neon's little 2.0l felt like a whole different car last summer on PYB, than on the valvoline that i had been using prior. now it's loving the formula shell i just put in.
really any major brand oil should be just fine. all depends on how the owners "butt dyno" feels. or backed up w/ a uoa.

Motorcraft/trop artic syn blends in 5w20, and a motorcraft fl820s. the ford fl820s is a direct replacement for the factory mopar filter.
FL820s at walmart and motorcraft/trop artic. or any other 5w20 at walmart.
If you have a Orschlern farm store you can usually get trop artic syn-blend which is very similar to motorcraft oil for under $3 a qt.
