I believe it does almost everywhere... unfortunately. Only the manual challenger doesn't have it.

The 6.4 comes in two variants, the BGE in the 2500 at 410 hp, and the SRT in the cars/jeep/dodge at 485 hp. The SRT would be an instant hit if they can keep the price reasonable (ie, available in tradesman and bighorn trims where you just need to pay for the engine upgrade and not the ridiculous...

My mechanic is excellent. I do my own oil changes because the oil I put in is far better than what the FCA spec calls for.

It's for the entire 8hpxxx lineup yes, chrysler + bmw + landrover etc.

See screenshot below directly from a ZF bulletin:

Not sure what you're trying to say but it absolutely is true.

MS-6395 is for the 3.6, 5.7 and SO, OP has the HO and as already mentioned above he would "need" MS-A0921. The MS-xxxx is not a spec that matters in any way though. The owners manual wants you to run "resource conserving" oil, which is a fancy way of saying they don't care about your engine...

Of course. That's how I found HPL and why I absolutely ignore almost everything the owners manual says when it comes to oil and fluids. And that's in contrast to your previous statement where you suggested to just trust the mechanic.

Easy there, it was a bad attempt at some humour. But the point is that mechanics don't necessarily know squat about oil, no matter how much you can rely on them to fix your car. Most of them either read the owners manual and dutifully do as told, or even worse just dump in whatever bulk oil...

I'm not letting the ambulance driver do a kidney swap on me, just saying.

The MS spec is a nothing burger (and it's MS-A0921 for the HO). For warranty purposes you just need API SN+ or API SP. PUP has no ability to clean, and it shears down to a 30 grade. There are far better oils available.

Best oil money can buy IMHO (though... I'd probably go for a 5w-40 but don't if you're concerned about warranty) https://www.advlubrication.com/collections/automotive-lubricants/products/premium-plus-passenger-car-engine-oil?variant=40523898912961

Reading between the lines, they could be hurting now that the classic is gone. That truck probably made them some easy money given all the R&D was paid off long ago.

The speculation is that the 5.7 is getting a minor update, possibly something like direct injection. The other speculation is that part of why this is happening is because Ram wants to offer cheaper trucks, the hemi is cheaper to make than the hurricanes. So yes they'd probably be putting the...

...according to moparinsiders. Then they dropped this juicy tidbit at the end of the article: "Additionally, a new larger-displacement HEMI variant could join the lineup in the future". https://moparinsiders.com/report-hemi-v8-production-to-begin-in-august/
