5w25 motorcraft !!!

[Clevy]

I use 0w-40 in my charger. Mds works just fine


Think about it. Mds and vvt work properly with cold oil,which is a whole lot thicker than a hot 40 grade.

I was under the impression and from reading, if the oil is too thick it can trigger a cel.

I have a Police upfitters document at home on my laptop from 2011 indicating any viscosity from 5w-20 to 10w-30 was fine in the Chargers for police use.

Mer: I apologize for Us Hi-Jacking your thread so this will be my last post on the thicker oil!

VNTS: I have read and heard of many owners who tried a 5W-30 in their 5.7L that caused a CEL! I am one of the lucky ones I guess! There are Many as well that use 5W-30 or 0W-30 with No Issues!!

My Service Mgr told me I could pour in a 30wt with no issues...

You can also use a Diablo Sport T1000 Trinity Tuner and Disable the MDS! and Use what ever Viscosity you want...

One more note-->3:92 gears are awesome!

This is BITOG, and we'll debate whether the sky is blue, and if water is wet.
