OP stated his Ram 1500 is V6, which is the Pentastar 3.6L that seems fine on most any oil from what I've read.

It's a Pentastar, not a HEMI, and that problem was supposedly solved with yet another lifter revision in 2018

2018+ shouldn't have lifter problems then? I may look closer at those.
The later years of that generation seem to be pretty solid trucks otherwise. Unfortunately no Pentastars in the 4th gen truck are rated to tow what I need to tow. Otherwise there's a lot of those in my price range.

Correct. Our '19 is supposed to have the updated lifters.
what conceivable benefit does any 5w-40 have over M1 0w-40?
Potentially better-shearing stability and higher HTHS.
like a real benefit that would make someone change oils? or hair-splitting?

How does almost 7 OCI'S within 5k miles help anything. TCB anyone?
Shearing stability and higher HTHS are real benefits.

Hope you are right - I’m not seeing any change in oil pressure with the M1 Supercar - and IIRC - the VVT is ECM controlled anyway …and that problem was supposedly solved with yet another lifter revision in 2018
Cant be. It was written here millions of times that M1 0w-40 is THE best Oil and that Porsche uses 0w-40 for a reason.
0w-40 = Racing stuff! Race proven! Porsche Proven!
Ican and it cannot. Everything depends on how good is 0W40 or 5W40. That is why I said "potentially."Cant be. It was written here millions of times that M1 0w-40 is THE best Oil and that Porsche uses 0w-40 for a reason.
