1st oil change

I kept running into the European vehicles label as well. I went with the penzoil ultra plat with the SRT logo. Amazon had 15% off so I ordered 2 cases of it.
Yeah I should’ve done that. I changed my oil about 2 weeks ago and the mobile 1 European car formula is what I went with since I thought it’s a turbo I6 like the Beamers etc… maybe I’ll change the oil again to something better and not run the truck with the European formula.
 
Two questions:

1. Anyone thinking about a dealer oil change worried about your truck getting that update that apparently caps your speed/HP ?

2. I’ve seen this Mopar coupon floating around. Has anyone tried it? Just wondering if it works since the RHO need more than 6 Qts of oil .

My dealership honored it for $150 (taxes included ). It was more because of the extra oil.
 
Don't run the Euro formula 0w-40, folks! That is an ACEA A3/B4, which is a high SAPS oil. Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus, and Sulphur. They are good for older engines, but bad for your emissions. They don't work well in direct injection motors, either. The 0W-40 oils we need for our motors are an ACEA C3 oil, which is a mid-SAPS oil.

Newer vehicles with DI and newer emissions require this lower level of SAPS to save your cats and motor. The Mobil 1 0W-40 oil that you could buy for your Hurricane motor is the Supercar variant, intended for the Corvette. M1 has gotten really coy about posting any specs on their Supercar blend oils, but the 0W-40 is an ACEA C3 oil equivalent.

M1 grew tired of all their Corvette owners buying 5qt jugs of 5w-30 at Walmart for $25 so they concocted with GM and changed the recommended viscosity to 0W-40 in the middle of the C7 production run. They even said you could run the 0W-40 all the way back to when their first LS motors came out in Corvette in 1997. A few years later, M1 came out with their Supercar label to help keep the cost up, and they don't sell that oil in 5qt jugs, let alone even at Walmart.

ACEA C3:
Stable, stay-in-grade engine oil with mid-SAPS Level, for aftertreatment system compatibility.
Intended for use at extended oil drain intervals in passenger car and light-duty gasoline & DI
diesel engines designed for engine oils with HTHS viscosity of minimum 3.5 mPa⋅s.

ACEA A3/B4:
Stable, stay-in-grade engine oil intended for use in passenger car and light-duty gasoline &
diesel engines and/or for extended oil drain intervals where specified by the engine
manufacturer.

For the money, and given the 6k mile OCI's on our RHO's, stick with the Pennzoil Ultra Plat and stock up an oil change or two ahead of time when you can get the oil on sale!

Thanks @AirRyan for the info! My brain couldn't keep up with all the data, so Penzoil Ultra Plat it is! Super thankful to have access to some brilliant folks on this forum!

Congrats, you're the Oil Guy now! Filter recommendations?

Interestingly enough, I bought an entire case of 12 AC Delco PF63's from RockAuto for a previous truck I had, that I thoguht I was going to keep for a long time, a MY23 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2 with the 6.2L V8. The L87 was essentially the same motor out of a C7 LT1 Corvette but with a different intake and exhaust manifolds on it. I used a grand total of just one filter before I traded it in on my MY23 RAM 2500 Rebel HD with the 6.7, so I had this entire case of 11 AC Delco PF63's sitting on my shelf in my garage. I grew up around GM and Corvette so I'm well familiar and comfortable with AC Delco filters.

My wife used to have a MY22 Lincoln Navigator with the HO Ecoboost 3.5L and so, oddly enough, when I looked it up, that oil filter (Motorcraft FL500S) cross-referenced on those 3.5L Ecoboost V6's, so I started using the AC Delco PF63's on it before we ultimately traded it in on my wife's current vehicle, a MY24 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. (Loved the Navigator, but we just love the GW even more.) Oddly enough, the oil filter for the Hurricane 3L motors (Mopar 68466307AB), cross references there again with the PF63, so I'ved used two of them now more on my wife's Jeep. When I get my RHO, I'll continue to use them on it, as well.

For 6k mile OCI's, these AC Delco PF63's are just fine. $4.55 each on Rock Auto, but you can get them for even less when you buy a case of 12 at $4.09 each, plus shipping and tax. If you're at Walmart they go for about $7.92, and you can get a M1 Extended Performance M1-212A for a little over $11. (Those filters claim they are good for up to 20k mile OCI's, which is overkill for a 6k mile OCI in the RHO.) Walmart does stock some Mopar filters, but they have yet to start carrying the Mopar 68466307AB. Be careful buying auto parts on Amazon, there are a lot of fakes out there, especially amongst the 6.7 Cummins filters. No worries at Rockauto, you just have to pay a nominal shipping charge.
 
Just had my first oil change at 4,900 miles. Can someone confirm the following MOPAR part numbers please? I want to make sure the dealer put the correct oil in and would also like for future reference. I want to make sure AI is not hallucinating :)

Motor Oil Mopar part number 50040856AA (this was on invoice) - Should be equivalent to Mopar rebranded Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Full Synthetic SAE 0W-40 with the SRT logo, meeting both the API-SP standard and the MS A0921 specification.

Anyone able to confirm?
 
Searching that part number on store.mopar.com shows that it is a 0W-40. Be advised, though, that it appears they have not updated their site to show the part number as applicable to the RHO engine. Incidentally, the part number matches 0W-40 on many other sites. This is as close as I could find to partially answer your question.

View attachment 16803 okay, thank you. I'll have to go on faith that the dealer put the correct motor oil in.

2. I’ve seen this Mopar coupon floating around. Has anyone tried it? Just wondering if it works since the RHO need more than 6 Qts of oil .

I saw the same offer on the Mopar website through the RAM app, but when I put in my VIN (which is required to proceed), it came up with "No plans available."

I just tried this and the dealer would not honor it for the RHO. Instead they offered a 2 for $220 deal which I took.
 
Did you go for the offer? Is it still worth the money?
Yes. $110 for an oil change is practically free IMO - The cost of the mopar 10w-40 oil @ $13/qt plus the $15 mopar oil filter works out to just over $120 without tax (the RHO holds 7.5 qt)

Stopped by a local dealership and they offered (oil change + tire rotation):
• 2 within 1 year for $245
• 3 within 2 years for $340
• 4 within 3 years for $445
Not as good as yours - these are not promotional, just their standard packages. I will probably check with a few other dealerships.
 
Mopar is offering two oil changes for $145, but it’s limited to 7 quarts. Does anyone know if any dealership will honor this for RHO, or will they charge extra for anything over 7 quarts, or just decline it? Even after entering my VIN, the offer still shows as available. Has anyone tried this yet?

It only needs 7 qts to get the level into “safe” zone. 7.5 qts could get you an “overfill” warning if you don’t thoroughly drain the pan.

That half a quart would be important to me. I don’t like how low the oil pressure is until above 3k rpm’s…the old adddage was 10psi per 1k rpm’s..the Ram is below that with more main bearings than a V8.

Off roading…I was 4-6500rpm(or whatever the redline is) for long periods of time. With the low oil pressure (imo) I don’t also want to run the risk of going dry.

7.5 quarts was right to the 3rd tick for me. Showed the same before oil change.

Hi everyone, just hit 890 miles. Is everyone doing the fiest oil change at 1000? Or is 5000 miles good. Getting mixed info. Unable to decide
