    How often have you used your extended (or standard ) warranty?

    I had the lifetime max car on my 2009 ram. Sold it last December with 149k miles. Only reason was to gain the new technology for safety and Iswitch to 4wd now that I live in the country. That said under the lifetime warranty they replaced (1) fuel tank due to fueling issues, (2) ac compressor...

    Oil change every 12 months

    The higher operating temps is the one thing that I see a big difference between my hemi from 2009 and the new one from 2020. So I agree you have a point about running synthetic just for that alone. Appreciate the reminder. 🙌
