1st oil change

If you plan to keep the truck as long as you possibly can, DO NOT use 0W20. It is a hard working engine in a full size truck. It needs proper viscosity and protection to avoid valvetrain issues. On my first oil change I dumped the factory fill and never ever touched a bottle of 0W20 again. It was shocking how much quieter my engine ran immediately, and ALL of the start-up ticking went away.

 
Admittedly, I do have a dark sense of humor. Touch a nerve?
I don't have nerves that you can touch. So many MEN have no clue how to check oil let alone change it.

The classic WOMEN are dumb, never gets old....
 
Good day all,
I ak new to this forum and 1st time Ram owner: I know this has been asked a lot but I will ask again. How many miles should I do my 1st change oil? I’m currently at 500miles right now. Is it 1K?
Also, what oil and filter combo is the for this truck? Thank you all!
my dad was a mechanic he always did the first oil change around 500 t0 1,000 miles.
