5000 miles with Mobile 1 5w-30 and Mobile 1 filter.

 

8.60 for a mopar filter is way too much, they sell at walmart for like 4.50!
as for the valvoline synthetic, I used it because it was on sale in my wifes car and it made the engine noise so loud! I changed it out yesterday at less than 3000 miles because it was so loud and the oil almost was black!!! Dont know if that means anything but just based on that I'll never use valvoline synthetic ever again!

 

Sounds like eveyone is using mobil 1 synthetic in there rams. I honestly had no clue what kind was in my truck before i bought it used. I just went straight to LUBE-X to get the old stuff out and asked for a full service, I asked what they reccomended and they said Mobil 1 Synthetic so i've just been using that ever since. Its nice to hear that everyone else uses that oil. Im not to sure what filter is in my truck though. ill have to ask next oil change.

 

So who is using the royal purple and how has it been working for your ram 5.7? Also same question with the mobile 1 synthetic? my truck has 50k and was it is about due for a change. Looking for real experience with these oils. Also this will be the first oil change i do since i have bought i used..

 

My truck has 103,000 miles on it, and I have always been a Valvoline guy, so I use Valvoline High Mileage Synthetic Blend along with a Purolator Pure One Oil filter. If it is cold or crappy out, I goto a great little Valvoline oil shop by my house and have them use the Purolator filter. Never had a problem or any bad noises from it ever. Also, about every other month Advance Auto Parts by me does a sale where I can get the gallon jug and the filter I like for like 18 bucks. 18 for that, then about another 8 or so for the other 2 quarts I need, and most of my oil changes are just about 30 bucks exactly.

 

what would i do if i switch to a synthetic? just change it like normal or blend oil at first

 

Schaeffer Supreme 7000 Synthetic Plus 5W-20 and Fleetguard filters.

 

Truck calls for 5w20, i use Mobile 1 0w-20 and get better gas mileage.

 

I like using Ford Motorcraft 5W-20 snythetic blend. It's easy to find, the price is good, and I know Ford is only requiring 10K mile oil changes when using the stuff. I change mine around 5K miles though, and I try to use a Mopar filter if possible.

 

I've always used Amsoil Fully Synthetic in all my vehicles, I trust and love it more than any other oil. As for filter I usually use K&N but sometimes I'll use Amsoil
