2015 Ram 1500 Big Horn, 5.7L Hemi, 117,000 miles on engine
Red Line 0W-20 (SKU 11805)
12 months, 19,000 miles on oil
2 quarts make-up oil added since previous change (none added in last 8,000 miles)
Baldwin oil filter
Wix air filter
I bought this Ram used in July 2021. It seemed to be well-maintained by the previous owner, but no maintenance history. Have not experienced the ticking sound that many Hemi owners experience. I changed the oil in Oct 2021. I generally drive gently. Living in North Texas, the summer was unusually hot this year (we saw 112 F one day in July) and the winter was typically mild. I took three trips to the East Coast and back, which accounted for about half of these miles. Didn't do any towing. No extended idling.
I checked the box on the oil slip indicating that I'm interested in extending my oil change interval, but I probably won't push it past 20k miles next time. I don't plan on as many long trips in the future, so I might just change it when the oil gets to 20k, regardless of time.
