I got my oil changed for free (of course) after I asked them why they used 5w-30. They were very apologetic about it and showed me that their computer shows that the Magnum RT takes 5w-30. After they did some digging and talked with one of their senior mechanics, they realized that it was an error and are updating it to reflect that it should take the 5w-20. I feel better now

Probably somebody got their signals crossed or they were just having a bad day. Without the MDS system, the 5W-30 is the recommended oil for the 5.7 Hemi, as in the case of my '03 Ram. Still not a good situation, but I can see how it might happen....... by the way, with the 5W-20 did your engine response smooth out?
