An update to this situation. The dealership notified me on July 8th that FCA had approved the fix being done under warranty so they ordered the door panel. By August 26th I had heard nothing further from the dealership so I contacted RamCares and asked for assistance. I received a call from a...

Wouldn’t he actually be mobile in Mobile (Al) while using Mobil? I agree, those word thingies can be tricky.

You’re welcome.

It's Mobil, not Mobile.

No doubt it’s a great oil, and cheap makes it even better!

Thanks, you may be right but I’ve read that it was just a really slow seller. Possibly because some folks thought it could only be used in trucks, it’s happened before with Quaker State and Mobil. I’d like to try it, mainly because the container has a white Ram on it, but I’ll wait for the...

Are any of the jugs of RGT you guys got displaying the new SP/GF-6A spec?

So far I'm very happy with the set on my Laramie, very quiet and comfortable ride. I bumped the air pressure up to 39 PSI and have driven in heavy rain a few times with no issues. I will never tow anything or do any off roading so I'm hoping they last a while.

That's easy, FCA's testing showed 30 or 40 grade isn't needed by the 5.7L., just like their testing showed the SRT engine needs 0W-40 so that's what they recommend. I've used my Jeep Cherokee as an example, FCA's testing showed that the 2.0L turbo requires synthetic 5W-30 so that's what they...

Why do you think no one knows what the viscosity numbers mean? It's actually very simple and I've explained it before. Each grade has a viscosity range, it's not a set number for each grade and it's measured at 100C, which is the approximate engine operating temperature of 212F and at 40C, which...

Trying to point out that other makers of high performance engines recommend the use of the same grade of oil that the Hemi uses is meaningless, yet Project Farms silly middle school science project "tests" done in his garage on oils that have already passed the battery of tests done by the API...

That’s exactly my point, some people assume that using anything less than XW-30 in their 5.7L means longevity is automatically reduced, yet no one can produce any real data to support that position. It’s something they “feel” or “believe”, but no one can produce any solid evidence that proves...

Don’t you think MB, Porsche and the others want their vehicles to last a long time for their customers with no lubrication related failures?

You won't. BMW, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Volkswagen all recommend 0W-20 in some of their models. You guys that know XW-20 is too watery thin to work properly should let their engineering teams know they don't have a clue when it comes to the lubrication requirements of their engines.

Here's a UOA on a 5.7L using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W-20 for 5,000 miles from last year. Iron "wear" at 14PPM, which is 5PPM below the universal average for this engine and aluminum and copper are also below universal averages. How could using 5W-30 or 5W-40 in this Hemi improve on these...

Very well said. The majors like Chevron and Exxon-Mobil sell their base stock to blenders like Warren and there's only a handful of additive package producers like Infineum, Oronite and Lubrizol so they are using high quality components to build Super Tech, Amazon, Kirkland, Mag1 and other...

You asked for comparison of Super Tech and Mobil 1.

Here you go. 9,000+ miles with single digit "wear numbers" and a TBN of 1.3. However, these inexpensive analysis are not an accurate way of measuring wear. They only see particle sizes up to around 5um, larger particles are not seen, so they give a limited snapshot of the oil. To accurately...

Amazon Basics oil is made by Warren Distribution, the largest producer of private label oils in North America and has been in business since 1922. It has passed all of the API and ILSAC tests, as well as GM's Dexos 1 generation 2 tests that are very tough. Any oil that is licensed by the API...
