Hemi durango TRUE OIL CAPACITY and the longest oil change in history
#11
Hey V I've got to support a fellow blacky since we both have to invest ten times more effort then you white boys(can I say that? I'm German and Irish) keeping her clean. Look at the bright side. Your K&N oil filter will MATCH your white truck.. that's why your going with it RIGHT?

LOL Good stuff. Is it just me or did the whiteys have a meet up this weekend at a Justin Bieber concert, they seem very sensitive today. But considering the very sensitive and feminie color of your D's, I completely understand. I just thought after a 3 day weekend, they whiteys may have come to their senses, but I guess not.

I always run 1/4 to 1/2 quart below totally full. I don't want to make the mistake of going over by even a little, IMO.
Oh, and why buy 7 or 8 quarts exactly? I always get the 5 qt containers from Walmart - Pennzoil platinum. I found sludge from that Mobile1 5w-20 in my last car after only two oil changes, switched to Pennzoil and the problem went away.

Good info on oil capacity using the dipstick as a guage..........but..........it still doesn't resolve whether the actual capacity is 7 qts and the dipstick is manufactured/marked improperly or is the dipstick accurate and the listed capacity is wrong? I guess we choose whichever measuring device we deem to be the correct one.
Does anyone have another Dodge (300, Charger, Challenger, etc.) with a 5.7 to see how it compares? Is it 5.7 specific or just Durango specific? Too bad we can't get an answer from Dodge.

I am using Penzoil Ultra in this D since the RP is not certified with Chrysler for use in the HEMI

Actually this was the FIRST oil change and was factory filled to the full mark. I removed 7.4 quarts and added 7.5 quarts to bring it back to full. I also recall some posts on a light engine tick at the low / add mark so I believe we can rely on the dipstick as an accurate gauge

Isn't it crazy how some things are all the same for some of us and can also be polar opposite. I switch from pennzoil synthetic in my camao SS to mobil 1 because every oil change the air gap in the upper TB would be caked with sludge. When I swapped it went away. Haha I guess you can't win for losing.
SS2RT was that your TBSS you threw a rod in?

i'll never use mobil 1 again after blowing a rod in my SS and also seeing alot of disappearing oil (even if it was the engine or chevys or even my fault, mobil-1 is still out for me personally...)
Chrysler is pushing Pennzoil 0W-40 in all SRT8's so I think I'm gonna try it.
