Hey all, wanted some opinions.
I just picked up a 2019 ram limited with the hemi, probably about 90% of the miles are towing a 5000 lb travel trailer around Oklahoma and Arkansas. I noticed that the oil temp runs about 212-220 without the trailer but about 230-245 with the trailer. Should I run a 5w20 oil for all temps like the owners manual calls for or go with a 5w30 to deal with hotter temps?
I’ll probably use penzoil ultra in whatever weight at my first oil change with a fram ultra filter. For oci I plan to go by the computer and change it whenever convenient when I get to 10% or so.
Any opinions about the oil weight I should use would be appreciated!
