20 Ram 1500 5.7L, eTorque version.
Currently at 25K. Serviced every 3-4K using either M1 or PP 20wt oils. Might move to HPL No VII 5W-20 at 5K intervals due to the HT/HS being greater than most 30wt oils while still having the Kinematic Viscosity of a xW-20.

Not exactly a large sample, but 2/7 experiencing a major internal failure before 200k miles? Can't say I am surprised, but not exactly a great showing.Our 2019 DT has 73,000km on it now (45,000 miles)
Our 2006 Charger had ~153,000km on it when we traded it on the Durango (95,000 miles)
My 2020 SRT only has 23,000km on it at present (14,300 miles)
At work, we have operated a small fleet of 1500's since ~2011, all have been maintained the same with NAPA (Valvoline) 5W-20 and NAPA filters. I'm missing a couple (the 2012's I believe) from this list, but here's what I have that's current:
-2011 1500 #1: developed bottom-end knock and was traded at I believe 264,000km (164,000 miles)
-2011 1500 #2: lifter failure at 266,000km (165,000 miles)
- 2011 1500 #3: 240,000km (150,000 miles)
- 2011 1500 #4: 355,000km (220,600 miles)
- 2014 1500 #1: 125,000km (78,000 miles)
- 2014 1500 #2: 248,000km (154,000 miles)
- 2016 1500 #1: 69,000km (43,000 miles)
