My Walmart doesn't stock the T6, as a word of caution, T6 is also available in 15w40, don't use it, the owners manual is very clear what weight oil to use , keep it on the 5w40 and protect your warranty, I'm also sticking with MOPAR filters.
I'm using SHELL ROTELLA T6 5W40, you need to make sure that whatever you decide to use that it meets the specs set by FCA. My lats case was ordered from Amazon, I don't know if I got a good deal because it was $55.00, a day or 2 later it was about $108.00. I can get it at Tractor Supply for...
I think that 's a different study, IIRC the one I found included HOT SHOTS DIESEL SECRET, this was before they had the EVERY DAY DIESEL TREATMENT. It also contained pictures and specs for the high pressure(HFFR) wear test. I've been looking and can't find it, I typically save stuff like that...
That sux, I hope they get this resolved. Makes me wonder if deleting and tuning would be the way to go.......but even then you never know. Has there been any fire investigations done to determine cause, it looks like FCA would have to assume liability since it's a widely documented issue.
I maintained an Ambulance fleet for nearly 14 years, I used Delo 400 15w-40 exclusively, one of those units had over 600k on it when I retired, I think it finally got retired too, I would bet that it had around a million miles on it, Ford E350 with 7.3 Powerstroke, 1 set of injectors, IPR, FPR...
Truck was purchased from a dealer, and the oil change sticker on the windshield had a service due mileage that was about 5000 miles more than when we got the truck, had 14343 when we took delivery, sticker said it was due at 19160 or thereabouts. I did the oil change today, I used a factory...
If I take my vehicle ANYWHERE for an oil change I supply the oil and filter, a buddy owns the local NAPA store, he'll do an oil change fo 20 bucks, BUT I don't plan on using his parts because he can't get the T6 at a reasonable price & NAPA filters which are made by WIX are not quite up to par...
That's a thought, but I sure hope not, they're the largest dealer in Ariona. Another thing today also, I headed to town to grab some grub for dinner, about a half mile down the road I got a DPF 805 FULL message & drive at highway speed to clean it, typical regen stuff basically, so I headed out...
The DEF is a controlled product, 37.5% urea and 62.5% deionized water, or maybe distilled water, I don't remember, it shouldn't matter what brand you buy, but personally I have decided not to buy bulk after having problems in my Duramax, I got a Poor quality DEF message, and it smelled like...
My plans are to do an oil & filter change, I already have the T6, & have been watching the oil & coolant closely since buying. The light had been reset as the mileage since rest nearly match our miles driven since buying, I reset the oil life monitor and will change the oil as soon as the filter...
I understand the the algorithm driven monitoring, but 2200 miles seems ridiculous to me. My concern is if I have something going on, I'm still waiting for an EGR cooler fix. I've worked on large diesels since 1979, and was introduced to modern diesels in 1999 on 7.3 liter POWERSTROKES, which...
I'm curious, I bought a 2017 RAM ecodiesel on DEC 30 it had 14,343 miles on it, I noticed today that the "OIL CHANGE REQUIRED" massage was on, the DIC said 2205 miles since reset, just curious if i have something going on. The truck currently has about 16,580 something, sticker on the windshield...

There is a recall on the ECO DIESELS for EGR cooler failures causing fires, no fix as yet. Bulletproof diesel has a heavy duty EGR cooler for under 900 bucks. They've been around for a while and were born out of need when the 6 liter Powerstrokes/ Internationals came out and were plagued with...
