I have a new 2011 Ram 1500 with the Hemi. I have a weird anal retentive breakin oil change deal so please excuse me. It had its oil changed at 250 miles with PYB, and I am coming up on 1,000 miles pretty quickly. I was planning on changing the oil again and letting it roll to 4,000 miles before another change. I was thinking PYB again, or Penz Platinum synthetic for the 1k oil change. Thoughts? Am I just throwing money out the window?
My daily commute is 3 miles to work, and back again at lunch, then home after work. So in all I make 4 seperate 3 mile trips per day, and a possible run into town after work once in awhile. About every 2 to 3 months I will take it on a 700 mile round trip mostly highway to go camp and ride dirtbikes int he Ozark Mountains..
Another thought was using Motorcrafts synthetic blend. I think I have read that it is a great oil, and affordable too. With winter coming up here in KC, Kansas, I will need a good cold starting oil.
