First off, for a 5.7 you should be using 5w20 oil.

All documentation...owner's manuals, shop manuals, etc. specifiy 5w20.

Your Ram didn't have the MDS that the 300 has, thus the need for a different weight oil.

No prob! Hunt around this forum...there is a wealth of info here, even if some is reiterated from other sources!

Some of the hottest and meanest debates this forum has ever seen happened over oil. I’m sure our Admin is cringing at the thought of another oil thread. Most believe in following what the good book (owner’s manual) recommends.

Ok so what's best - - Mobil One, Amsoil, Syntec, or Pure Canola Oil? Or maybe Vegetable oil? Is there really any difference? Where's White Diamond when you need him to get another oil thread going?
