Oil filter Fram or Mobil
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and Fram Ultra Synthetic (XG10060). OEM Mopar air filters for cabin and engine. I also add 15oz bottle BioTech Lubegard in oil. Just did mine, love the results. 2021 Rebel, 60k miles, 5.7L non-e torque if it matters.
Do the oil change and use a high-quality filter such as mobil 1 . Then change every 1000 miles.
I use Mobil 1 High Mileage Synthetic along with the Mobil 1 filter.
This is probably going to get buried, but my quarter of a million mile 2.7 has an issue with oil pressure on initial startup.
Only when it's below 20° Fahrenheit, and only with fram ultra synthetic filters.
I've changed oils a number of of times and it's never made a lick of difference.
However, running a mobil one oil filter has dramatically improved cold start oil pressure.
My two cents, spend money on the filter, get a good deal on the oil that is within spec
Whatever is available. Preferably penzoil or Mobil 1. I’ve used castrol, no issues. But all oil is the same ????????♂️ I also use the fram filter (the synthetic one that has the steel mesh wrapped around the filter paper)
I dont dont get all the hate for fram. We use them at work on the fleet trucks, ive always used them on my own oil changes and air filters. Like 10ish years of using them and seeing them be used and ive never seen one fail. And same with castrol oil, i use it and we use it at work and have never had any motor issues.
The only time we dont use frams is when we are out of stock and dont have time to order or fram doesnt make it.
Yesterday I put 10w-40 in it since it seemed like it could help at least a little. It does have a Fram filter on it now.
I have had a Fram orange can of death implode on a car I owned. Dunno how long it was running with Un-filtered oil but the motor never died. I quit using the El cheapo ones.
Filter out of a 91 Mustang with the 2.3 Lima. Filter was a Fram that was about half as long as it should have been, and it was filled with those tar/sludge globs. They were even coming up on the dipstick.
I've seen more aftermarket (fram, stp, etc) filters that are crushed down towards the center of the filter :thumbdown:. They do not seem to flow as well over time.
