Pre-MDS Hemi's (pre-06) use 5W30. Those with MDS (06+) use 5W20. I think (but don't quote me) all of the 4.7's use 5W30.

My 08 4.7 does the same chatter thing. I've been told it's "normal" too. I guess I won't sweat it since it's warranteed, but then again leaning on that might be detrimental reliance...

Ok, I didn't think anybody used that anymore. Almost all new engines use 5w20 or thinner. I never looked up the 4.7L in my manual

I just assumed my 4.7L took 5W30, as the two Dodge dealerships I've taken the truck too, use that grade as a standard. After checking the manual, it does state 5W20 only!!
