So, I picked up a new Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, and it has oil requirements that are "new to me" - calling for the low ash Euro oils, thus my post to this section.
The requirement is: "The manufacturer recommends engine oils that meet the requirements of Chrysler Material Standard MS-11106, and that are approved to Fiat 9.55535-S1 or Fiat 9.55535-S3 and ACEA C3."
It seems as if my best options are Pennzoil Ultra Euro L full synthetic 5W-30 and the Mobil 1 5W-30 ESP Formula.
What do you thing of these oils? Are there other options that meet this spec that I should consider? I do want to stay within the spec (aka, no oils that technically "meet" it, but don't have the spec on the label) for warranty concerns at least in the short term.
I know most of the folks on the Ram forums I read are either using, or planning to use the Pennzoil, but I've personally always used Mobil 1 in the past.
Here's a "video tour" of the truck if you're curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Yz6h4NSrQM
