Confused 🤔

[3.6L1500warlock]

Hey all new member here!
Was just in the auto store picking up supplies for oil change,at the counter the person gave my supplies but the oil weight I noticed one arriving home was 0w20, instead of the 5w20 that my oil cap states. Now I've read bunch out there and it seems like alot of people's trucks have the 0w20 vs what I have. Why would the same engine take different weight and would it make any difference if I used either or weights

Thanks to all in advanced

FYI, some where in that compilation is discussions on oil weight. Best wishes.

You have hit on a "loaded" topic. Can't speak for the 3.6 but the 5.7 hemi has changed oil weights over time. My 2019's oil cap has 5 20 while later models have 0 20 and earlier years than mine are heavier.

welcome to the forum . It won’t hurt , the only difference is the 0 is more flowable when cold .
