You can run 20, 30, 40 weight oil in the hemi without any issues. The viscosities are so close it doesn't matter. Good oil easily goes 10k miles now without an issue, if you doubt it or are worried about it get an UOA done to see how much life your oil has left. The only time you should drop...

I just happened to come across this post. Worth checking intake manifold bolts also. They tend to come loose on me roughly every oil change interval and will cause performance issues. I've been trying to tune this transmission with downshifts (unsuccessfully so far) and I can tell you if it...
