Lucas sucks, and Fram sucks!

Get yourself a new Bosch or Puralator filter with a anti-drain valve, and a 5 quart bottle of Mobil One Fully Synthetic 10W-30 for that 5.2L engine. (I usually get the black boxed Bosch filter for $5) Remove the oil filter first then remove the oil from the pan and let her drip. Now replace the filter and add the whole 5 quart bottle you bought at Wal-Mart for about $25 bucks. Now you should be full, however you might need an extra 1/2 quart, at least I know many 5.9L's that like that extra 1/2 quart. At this point you should be full and mark your dipstick.

I like to check the oil first thing in the morning, but it is supposed to be warm I believe.

lvphotos<----If you have a leak then fix it. Durango's aren't "drippers". Dripping gaskets are because of lack of maintenance.

 

We will be back in the 60s this weekend, will try to get around to completely changing that oil! I have castrol now, will change it.

So you think i should go fully synthetic huh, ok!

 

10w30 is the recommended weight of oil for the 5.2 and 5.9l engines

5w30 is the recommended weight of oil for the 4.7

 

That guy with the 10w40 and all that other stuff he said, he is smoking some good stuff, i only use 10w30

 

I use 5w-30, even experimented with 0w-30. They both ran good especially at -20 degrees.

 

all I've ever used is 10w-30, then again it wasn't really ever 20 below in Pittsburgh and it sure as hell isn't that cold in south carolina either

 

Yeah never gets that cold here, i could go down to 0w30 according to that chart that shows what climate should use what, though i only trust 10w30

 

i use 10w30 in mine however once i run through the last of what i have in the basement (iv been buying it by the case for a good price) im going to give mobile 1 0w30 a try see if i can quiet down the lash adjusters first thing in the AM

 

Isnt 0w30 a whole lot thinner than 10w30? Or is it a little thicker? Never actually looked at it

 

Thinner when cold, same when warm.
