[earthbound]

In before anyone else. Mobil 1 ESP 0W-30 . Done.

This is my juice on all 3 of ours...

Royal purple HPS 5w30. Just to get a rise out of the latest and greatest crowd.

The Royal Purple HPS is a very good oil,and so is the API stuff.

A side story here:

When I bought the Ram 1500 5.7 used, I wanted to change the oil quickly naturally. I was told it had always had Valvoline synthetic 5w-20.
I ran down to Walmart and the only Valvoline 5w-20 they had on the shelf was the then new (I think) VRP 5w-20.
Shortly after that oil change, after the vehicle had been sitting for several days, on start up there was what sounded like a collapsed lifter (quite loud) that did not clear up after several seconds.
I shut it down and restarted it and all was good.
I soon changed the oil to Amsoil SS 5w-20 that I had on hand and this hasn't happened since. The vehicle sits for several days without being started all the time.
I am by no means blaming the issue on the VRP oil but I will likely not use it again.

M1 5W-30EP would be a good choice.

For a 4K OCI, Supertech 5W-30.

My Hyundai 2.4L DI engine can beat the crap out of oil with a 4K OCI … If I had a nice MPI engine easier on oil I might consider running ST synthetic oil .

One bottle of slick 50!

This brings back memories of the commercials on television. Dang...

What is your typical OCI on these?

2011 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi: calls for 5w-20
2020 Ford Mustang 5.0 Coyote: calls for 5w-20
2023 Ford F350 7.3 Godzilla: calls for 5w-30

I would like to consolidate to one engine oil for all three vehicles. My studying here leads me to believe that a 5w-30 engine oil would be safe in all three.

You are right on. 5w-30 for sure.

I am not dead set on 5w-30.
I have always used Amsoil SS in the past and it has never let me down.
I am very interested in the HPL PPPCMO line as well.
I tend to run 3-4000 mile OCI or once a year whichever comes first.
I have no problem with changing a premium oil before it is at the end of its life.

Thoughts? Feel free to bust me down for not using the search feature and lecture me that this has been discussed hundreds of times before.

Thanks!

With your OCI - Redline 5w30 or Motul 300v would be my two. FCP Euro it if price is a concern.

HPL PPPCMO 5w40.

Don't run PPPCMO 4k miles unless you just like wasting oil and money. 10k minimum with double to triple being doable in some cases.

I think using a single oil should not be a problem. If you want to go with a premium oil by all means, any 0w30 or 5w30 should be more than sufficient, especially with such short drain intervals. I doubt if there is a product you can go wrong with. Increasing the grade by one bracket should be perfectly okay for the hemi and the Stang, and definitely a far better idea than decreasing the grade for your Godzilla, which would be a big No for me.

If I were you though, I would use PUP 0w30 or 5w30. Relatively on the lower side of the grade, great product all around. Sometimes there is a significant difference in base oil quality between 0wX and 5wX oils. I do not know if that is the case for PUP. Mobil 1 ESP could be a great choice too that is on the thicker side of the grade, and 0w30 seems to be considerably better than 5w30 in terms of its base oil
