Does that have graphite in it?Not sure what’s your problem is “bro”, I use their products and recommend them. They work well and are high quality. If you don’t like it, I could not care less. Add you to the ignore list…

Yeah, I misquoted in that thread before you guys caused it to get shut it down with your comments. It’s actual a graphite-like ceramic additive properties. This was explained by someone else but it was clearly ignored. Like you will be right now. I misspoke yes, but not to mislead it was an error on my part. Sorry, I don’t have time for stupid conversations and deal with ignorance. Good luck .Does that have graphite in it?
Exactly. I mean, if you’re going to ceaselessly promote something you really should know what you’re talking about.Yeah, I misquoted in that thread before you guys caused to to get shut it down with your comments.

I gather you are not aware of the Honda’s VCM issues?Any manufacturer can have issues. No problem with that. Continuing to produce an engine with known problems gives me pause for concern. People do vote with their dollars. Not fussing Chrysler, but decided that my dollars would be better spent elsewhere.
It’s not that bad of an issue….unless you are the one having the issue. Decided that I didn’t want to go down that road again.I gather you are not aware of the Honda’s VCM issues?
I agree that the rocker arm issue should’ve been fixed, but given the millions of these things being on the roads, it’s not as bad as the internet makes it out to be.
No, the usual culprit is bad metallurgy, which no wizard in a can is going to remedy.the usual culprit is varnish or sludge. Seafoam and MMO are pretty good, but a proper engine flush will also help clean the piston oil rings. More effective and thorough.
I am not aware of any widespread issues with the 2AR - do you have a source? Besides, this is way off-topic.Yeah they do. They will eventually eat oil because of those garbo pistons
No amount of snake oil is going to fix this issue.Flush the engine and try running Molygen.

Why does it matter? folks drag up the god ****ed Vega still and the Pinto, there doesn't seem to be a time limit on dragging when it suits somebody's fancy.
Given we've seen what, 7 revisions of the HEMI lifters? and GM is still having their lifters crapping the bed too (I have no idea what revision they are on), as is Ford, it seems to be a pretty broad problem. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging that it's a known and potentially still current issue (his vehicle is a 2015 however) but plugs dropping in just to make absolutely idiotic and needlessly inflammatory comments that add nothing to the discourse is getting pretty **** old.
In all fairness, the Big 3 do have a lot more volume than most of the Asian Import brands. By default, when you have more units in circulation (and by default, that means the units will be used in a wider range of applications), you will hear more "issues."So, we'll be crapping on GM too then? I mean, nobody was even interested in taking them over.
The big picture question is, what does cracking open the **** and letting the poo fly achieve in these discussions? If the goal is purely to derail the discourse, polarize the thread and end up in it going nowhere and getting locked, well, then I guess, mission accomplished! Otherwise, it seems pretty pointless and unproductive to make a drive-by comment about a specific brand, given they ALL have, and have had, QC issues, which folks are well aware of.
Let's apply a bit more critical thinking here, eh? Brands can have stellar sales for a multitude of reasons. The last few years have been a very unusual market for many industries. Availability suddenly became king. Price is always a factor in consumer commodities. Interior design and perceived quality are becoming a hot(ter) topic than before and Stellantis tends to deliver in this area.Yeah, the RAM has had stellar sales the past few years. That would not have happened if RAM was junk. People voted with their dollars.
Doubtful but I'm not familiar with this particular issue and oil quality. Oils are at most band-aids for engine problems. They can only do so much. In cases where the engine has a manufacturing defect, it's unlikely any oil will help.So what is the best preemptive remedy for lifter tick? Is there something that can be done from new that will allow for a couple hundred thousand miles of lifter/rocker/camshaft life without wear failures? Should you use another viscosity/grade rather than the most common 5W20 MS-6395? As I type this another few hundred of these engines are being sold. Any opinions? My current Van is at 80K miles. I change oil at 5-7k miles with whatever name brand that meets spec and is available. 5W20, sometimes 5W30.
Not Redline 5w30 lol5/30 is pretty thin stuff
20/50 is what I would try
The failures usually revolve around the rollers failing and allowing the camshaft to contact the rocker. They usually occur outside of warranty so 60k+ miles. So on the percentage of rollers that do fail, if someone could come up with a method/lubricant to keep the wear down at the roller support, we have a winner. Snake oil? Viscosity, Base oil types? I know that engines that have high spring tension on the valve train use higher viscosities in racing to combat some of the same type of wear patterns. Some very smart people on this board. Even with parts that are substandard from manufacture, they are usually living long enough to get the dealer off. the hook warranty wise. There should be a method out there to allow these substandard parts to have a longer life than is usual with manufacturer spec oil don't you think. Arco graphite? LOL. I know these VVT engines need to shift oil fairly rapidly for the valve timing so there are limits to weight/viscosity. Any real tribologist's have an opinion?Doubtful but I'm not familiar with this particular issue and oil quality. Oils are at most band-aids for engine problems. They can only do so much. In cases where the engine has a manufacturing defect, it's unlikely any oil will help.
