I am a new Dodge Ram 1500 5.7l hemi owner. I AM WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS USED THE K&N OIL FILTER WITH A SYNTHETIC OIL IN THIER TRUCK? I am looking for anything to keep this truck running new that I can. Also after the suggested 300 mile breakin should I switch to synthetic or just wait till the regular scheduled oil change? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!

 

I'm running Mobile1 througha K&N filter. I did my first oil change and switched over to synthetic at 500 miles. Ill go every 6 months from there. I don't put many miles on her.

 

rams have no problem running synthetic. K&N filter is fine. just make sure you run 5w-20, per manufacture. otherwise risk missing up MDS.
The break in....I would just change it at 3,000. then go full synthetic.

 

Thanks for the input

 

3000 on factory fill or more.

 

Yeah I'd wait till at least 3-4 thousand before switching to synthetic. Been running the K&N with synthetic oil for 60k miles now with no issues.

 

I like 'em and basically any other filter that Champion Labs makes. These include Mopar, K&N, Royal Purple, Champ, STP and Mobil...
