Back in 2013, I was thinking about buying a new Challenger with the 5.7 Hemi and the one I test drove was noisy as could be. A friend of mine also had a 13 Challenger that was only a few months old that he let me drive and it had noisy lifters as well.

It's customary, when recommending a product, to get the spelling and capitalization correct. It's Red Line, or at least that's what the bottle of SI-1 (not SL-1 as some here say) shows on the label in my garage.

Struck a nerve , eh?
Words have meanings and correct spelling says something about the person no matter which side of the P line you are on.

How this became a Liberal issue is beyond me. Spelling is either correct or not. No participation awards here, sorry.

I'm just giving Burla a rib because he mentions Red Line a lot. If you want to talk it up, it's good to spell it correctly. It's been said that I'm a hater, but I just poured a bottle of Red Line SI-1 into my tank when I filled up the other day.
The factory recommends 7 quarts for the 5.7 Hemi. I see you put 6.5. Just a heads up.
I've read that Red Line apparently can rebuild the Hemispheric engine, sources are the internet so it must be true.

How many miles on each?

Two new gen Hemis here. A 6.1 with 110k miles that runs stronger than ever despite hard use on both the strip and the road course. No noises, actually very quiet.
5.7 RAM with just a hair shy of 80k miles, not a peep out of that one either.

Have you heard of an issue with an internal coating on 07-08 hemis in trucks? My neighbor has an 08 that lost oil pressure. It's in the shop getting a new oil pan and oil pump right now (had to remove transfer case to do it)...I'm not so confident it's going to last unless they at least put rod bearings in with the pan off. I heard it start up since the problem happened and it sure sounded like rod knock. Before it was silent even on a cold start. Anyway he was told they had this issue with the coating coming off the inside of the pan from extra heat like plowing (he uses his to plow a few driveways around here).

i have lifetime maxcare on the jeep and 8 yr maxcare on the SRT so no worries.
The complaints about actual lifter noise is likely one or two out of a thousand.
