This is my First post and I haven't found an answer to my searching
I have a 2005 Dodge Ram with the 5.9 CTD. It now has 20k on the Truck. I have been using the Mopar Factory Dino Oil up till now to allow for break-in. I have been changing the oil every 3K Miles considering its normal use.
I primarily use this truck to haul a ~3000Lbs Truck Camper and tow a Jeep on a Car Hauler. Total gross weight ~16000Lbs
I am planning a cross country trip this coming August with this configuration.
I would like to switch to a Synth Oil at the next change for better protection. I am not after Longer intervals rather best protection. I have noticed that several of the "Diesel" oils are now rated with CJ-4. I assume this is for the newer "Clean" engines. Is there a down-side using CJ-4 for my application?
I am looking for recommendations for my application and your thoughts
Thanks in advance
