Hey guys, I’ve done a little bit of research on here but still wanted to post a thread anyways but I was just curious what your guy’s thoughts were on the mobil 1 extended performance full synthetic 5W 20 for my 2018 ram 1500 hemi.
I’ve ran this oil once before and got a pretty good used oil analysis report for it but here lately I’ve been primarily using the Schaeffers extreme 9000 5W 20 because it had really good results on a used oil analysis but because that stuff just keeps getting a lot more expensive, even on Amazon, I’m thinking about just going back to Mobil 1 because it’s cheaper and a lot easier to come by without having to order it.
I bought this truck brand new back in Christmas of 2017 and it’s had full synthetic engine oil ever since it had about 2300 miles on the odometer. It’s currently at about 52,000 miles and thankfully still no Hemi tick. As far as what oils I’ve used in the past, I started out using Pennzoil ultra premium the first three oil changes and then an interval of the Amsoil signature series that had really good results but since it’s just too danged expensive, I switched to the mobil one extended performance while I was waiting for the used oil analysis to come back on the very first run of the Schaeffers.
Right now I’m currently using Schaeffers and here in about the next thousand, 1500 miles when it comes time to do another oil change, I have enough oil to do one more oil change with the Schaeffers and then after that is what I’m probably gonna go back to using them mobil one.
As far as intervals, I try to change my oil about every 6000 to 6200 miles but when the truck was less than two years old, there was one interval where I let it go to 7500 miles just to see how far it would go before the oil change gauge on the dash told me when it was time to do an oil change.
Thanks.
