New truck help me choose oil and how often to change.

Also catch can. I can tell you I have one on the Caprice, WS6 and Malibu. They rarely collect much and so I was not a big believer. It works on the truck!

They did not fix the issue as they advertised when they came out in 2020. Put a Mishimoto on mine and in was full before 5k miles.

I did not know they put the 10 speed with the L8T?

I think 2024 was the first year for the 10 spd. in the gasser.

That will make it much better for towing heavy

Yeah, for sure.

I believe the Ram 2500/3500 gassers have a 8 spd. and the diesels are currently 6 spd. but might be soon going to a 8 spd. Not completely certain of that though.

NYH.

2024 is the first year for the 10 speed. It shares some stuff with the diesel 10 speed. It would see some of the trucks received a bad batch of valve bodies. I do not believe my build date was affected. It is really nice when towing. I find it to always be in the proper gear.

Sharp looking truck.

Burbguy82 if it's using oil I can't tell it. My half ton used some so I am watching the new one closely. I think I am going to add a catch can though.

I have also put my personal touches to it like my old half ton. If you see this in a parking lot you know I'm there. My windows decals and bowties because, MURICA! Toneau cover. Only other thing I might add is tembrens in case I do tow or haul heavy in the future and led headlight bulbs. Hearing good things about diode dynamics. Not sure about what bulbs yet. My halogens are yellowish. Thanks chevy...

You can continue with the same brand oils you used on your 5.3 no problem. Congrats on the new truck!

Some do. Mine has not used a drop. That is to say in the last 2000 miles I have not had to add any.

Not everyone knows what that is lol.

I love the color!

I love the color!

Thank you. It's not the old victory red. It's called red hot. There are three things you can count on. The sky is blue, grass is green and I drive a red truck!

Mobil 1 5W30 EP should be fine.
