Also on clearance at Blain's, 9.88. Came across this past weekend, got the last one in the store. I don't live anywhere near a Blain's and was just passing through checking it out...

Home built Comp Solid roller equipped Chrysler B street / strip engine here, @ 451ci for about the past 20 years. Also 11.0 capable, although it usually runs 11.teens or 20s. As the dusty engine bay shows, this is a real driver including dirt roads, rain, etc and up until fairly recently was...

Going to try Formula Shell and a Champ filter.

This little gem (?) was on a newly acquired Ram 2500 5.7L. Looked good enough to not bother cutting the media open. Sorry if that’s a disappointment, it was late, and I just wanted a quick look. OLM said 60% remaining for whatever that’s worth. This was a former industrial/commercial work...

I'm late to the party but FWIW (it's free advice, so probably not worth much) I think RT6 5w40 is still a good choice. I have always got good service from the synthetic 5w40 rotella in BBMs and don't think you could go wrong with it. I'm not using it at the moment only because (in part thanks...

At one time not too long ago, Chrysler recommended up to 10w30 for the police 5.7 at this link https://www.fleet.chrysler.com/v7fleet/StaticFiles/files/Police_Maintenance_Overview_Book.pdf Unfortunately the link is dead now, for whatever reason. Nice numbers. I like my K&N on my 5.7 Hemi...

I was given a case of lucas racing 20w50 synthetic some years ago, and it sits on the shelf. voa? maybe?

Thanks for the test. I've got two cases of older green GT1 SAE40 in my collection which need to be used up.

Agreed. Really prefer roller whenever affordable, but that isn't always the situation. I've also found parts inspection to make a difference. I've been pretty fortunate to catch insufficient lifter crown (which will, of course lead to insufficient rotation) more than once. That + a physical...
