RAM 1500 5.7 HEMI Oil change. Is 5W30 Better than 5W20 for the HEMI?

- Today I change the oil and filter on a ram 1500. It has the 5.7 hemi. Many people argue that the 5w20 does not provide enough protection, especially at hotter temperatures.
Other people get upset that someone would use anything other than 5w20.
Some myths are that MDS will not function, as well as a DTC being set for incorrect oil viscosity.
5w30 is also recommended for the 5.7s in the HD Trucks, the only difference is that those are not equipped with MDS.
It is not that the MDS can’t function with 5w30, the real reason 5w20 is recommended in the MDS engine is emissions. The same reason MDS exists in the first place.
With 5w30 it is slightly thicker, and it takes slightly more fuel to turn it over. While the extra amount of fuel used is very tiny, it adds up over millions of vehicles produced.
Don’t be mistaken and think that the recommended fluids and maintenance schedules are there to help us make the car last a long time. They are merely sufficient enough to get you to the end of the warranty period.
Thanks for watching! Thanks to those who have subscribed too 💯💯🤝
Feel free to leave a comment with your experiences and thoughts! Take care
5w30 has been used for decades in most pickup trucks and all the Hemi’s did their trials with 5w30 including all the SRT engines…the only reason they use the 5w20 is for fuel economy…Ford was using it for a while on their ecoboost engines until they found they were having major premature engine failures so they switched to 5w30…the only thing I would do is use the oil filter that the 2009-2010 Hemi’s used or even the SRT oil filter like the Fram Ultra XG2…larger filters and more capacity…with the longer oil change intervals nowadays, these factory recommended filters are too small for such a large engine and when they get plugged up after thousands of kms of use they restrict the flow so use a bigger filter, change the oil more often and don’t idle these Hemi’s or you are going to regret it!…I could be wrong but I feel those small filters coupled with the extended oil change intervals are the reason for the lifter/cam failures…
Thanks for your comment! I appreciate your input! I do agree with you. 💯💯🤝 better filters and more frequent oil changes definitely help in a lot of ways.
Ford went to 5-30 because the fuel dilution brings the oil down to a 20 weight if it starts out at a 30 weight and that is the only reason. If they did not dilute oil with fuel so bad the 20 weight would be fine. You guys have a horrible understanding of oil viscosity
@@scottydavis1813 every engine gets fuel dilution genius!..doesn’t matter what you say was the reason why the 20w oil was inadequate…the fact of the matter is it was inadequate for the application so they went to a heavier weight oil!…most oil related failures are caused by viscosity sheering down to a lesser weight which happens to every oil through its service cycle…that’s why there’s maintenance schedules…stop trying to sound like an oil guru because your not…all I said was Ford changed to a heavier weight because of engine failures…I mentioned nothing about whether it had anything to do with viscosity or anything else for that matter…the rest of my comment was about Hemi engines and my personal experience with them..
I test hundreds of oil samples a week and have years of records of oil grades and engines but I was just guessing about the oil. I stand corrected. I did have an expert as your self mention fuel dilution and the 6.4 diesel and 3k OCI once
@@scottydavis1813 everyone was having such a good time till you showed up…there’s twatwaffles like you everywhere I guess…lol!!..you just need to read my first comment again and try to figure out if it was worth being a 🍆 over…reading comprehension is actually an important thing in this world…🤷🏻♂️
I ran 5W-20 for 156,000 mi and I added one quart of marvel mystery oil every time for a total of 7 quarts sold the vehicle with 256,000 on it did not burn oil did not smoke did not leak oil engine was spotless. Ran like a brand new engine at 256000.
Thanks for sharing your experience here! I’m glad to hear that you’ve had success with that! 💯💯🤝
Can you share me which model of mystery prodcut you used before?
If you like the Motomaster products, their premium oils are also very good and the OE+ filters are very good as well and less than $12…I use the same filter that is used on the Ford 3.0, 3.5, and 3.7 Duratec engines on my 6.4 Hemi…it’s the OE+ MOPH10575…same filter as the Hemi filter but its longer…the Mobile 1 is the M1-212 filter I believe which is also a great filter…the Castrol is the CAS10575…same as the CAS10060 just longer…
Thanks for your comment! I appreciate the info!! 💯🤝 normally I get the motomaster filters but this time they had none in stock. So I chose that over Fram of course. Thanks again for the tip bro, I’ll def keep that in mind. Hope you have a good one. 💯💯
Got to keep the work truck on point💯 good video man
Thanks bro, I appreciate you !! 💯💯🤝
I would recommend priming the new oil filter with the fresh oil
I would recommend that as well. This was done 💯💯🤝 thanks for the comment!! 💯
I run 0w30 euro oil in my hemi. Stricter approvals have to be met for Porsche, Mercedes etc. Hemi loves it and easy to find. Motomaster sells it in their OePlus series which is made by shell, who makes pennzoil
Nicee! Thanks for sharing this info with us !! I bet the Hemi loves it too! 💯💯🤝
464,000Km! That is nearly 300,000 miles. Your not going to hurt anything using a 5w30
Yeah! It’s definitely getting up there bro!! 😂🤣💯🤝
5W-40
appreciate the feedback bro!
I do 10w-30 🤣 that thing still running and no ticking at 80k miles for a 2015 single cab . Waiting to hit 100k and can it.
Thanks for the comment! It’s nice to hear about what everyone else is running as well as how their experience was with it. 💯💯🤝
10w30???? No way
@@joshc606 yuuuup and it went to Mexico already lol
i accidently put 10w30 in my jeep hemi and it runs hella smooth now
They like Shell Rotella 5W-40, and they'd probably love MOTUL 5W-50 Power!!!
Thanks for your comment bro! 💯
I changed my cam lifters 120k miles im at 180k upgraded melling oil pump 5w 30 my motor is quite this is the second motor ive had 5w20 is shit use 5w30
That’s nice to hear bro! Good choice on the melling oil pump 💯💯🤝
Get the hellcat oil pump then it won't matter
When it comes to a hemi thicker is better especially in hot climates
Yeah you’re right!! 💯💯🤝
Did you get a engine code for in correct viscosity? I PUT a additive in my 06 hemi and it tossed up a code for viscosity incorrect.
Not at all bro!! Its been working real good.💯💯🤝 almost due for another oil change already! 😳😂💯
Any difference in mileage? Just wondering how big a difference it will make. Just got a new 1500 with a hemi because my Ecodiesel blew up (like everyone else). I need this thing to last!
No bro not much at all!! I normally get 100km from 13-14.7 liters. Which is 16-18 mpg. I’ve put about 5000km on er so far and the consumption is 16.3 MPG 💯💯 14.4 liters per 100km 💯💯🤝congrats on the Hemi bro!! Yeah I notice a lot of eco diesels listed with blown motors!!
@@colin7761, thanks for the info. This thing is already thirsty with the 33's and 3.92 rear end. I'd hate to lose anymore mileage. Nova Scotia gas prices are nuts!
No problem bro! I hear ya they are definitely thirsty 😂 you’re right about the gas prices! I heard a person complaining the other day about how crazy gas was and that it was $70 to fill their tank, 😂🤣 if only they knew 💯🤝
@@colin7761, Just got back from Shell like 5 minutes ago. 159 after discounts and I still had a quarter tank!
I fill up the 5.7 half a tank fucken 107 dollars in Nunavut @@colin7761
7.5 quarts?
6.9 quarts is what the manual says 💯💯🤝
So you think the engineers are just trying to make the hemi last for its warranty period? Lmao. Still cant understand that the problem with our hemis are the fact that the cam shaft is set higher into the block and at low rpm or idle the cam gets very little oil splash period! Just keep your rpms up and stop thinking a different oil viscosity is going to fix it lol.
🤷♂️ 🤦♂️ They certainly do only care about it making it past its warranty. The main reason for failure is lack of maintenance. I never claimed running 5W30 prevents you from getting failed lifters. I can say that regularly maintaining the fluids will get you by just fine. It’s scientifically proven to protect better. The only reason 5w20 is suggested in the owners manual is emissions. Running 5w20 will use less emissions, while the amount is not a large one, it makes a difference over a large amount of vehicles. If it wasn’t for the gov. These would still be running 5w30 🤷♂️ 💯💯🤝
so normally what is the average life fo the cam shaft ？
