But the owners manual and top of oil cap says.........
Then the thin crowd will say for potentially better MPG you could try 0W-16
.0w-20, 5w-20, 5w-30, 0w-40 if you have it, rock it. Use up and rotate stash if possible.

My 2013 Hyundai Elantra has nothing for a OLM or even a mileage maintenance reminder. Have to old school put a oil change sticker in the windshield if I want a reminder.

Noticed the left front CV shaft boot spitting grease all over, so that will go in for a CV shaft replacement soon. Must have occurred with the last 1361 miles because it was not like that when I rotated the tires a couple weeks ago.

From what I've read on forums you'd think "Volvo" means "sludge" in English. Just joking guys. But they do seem prone to oil consumption.
Congrats, I can see your tail wagging driving that beauty!!!2024 Ram 2500 6.4:
Out- Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w40/ Mopar Filter
In- Mobil 1 0w40/ STP XL Filter
14,498 miles. 2,916 miles and 8 months on interval. Was very surprised to see that the dealer used a Mopar filter. Last vehicle I purchased there they used a Mighty branded one.
Love this truck! Haven't even put 3,000 miles on it since Black Friday but a joy every time I get behind the wheel
