I did actually get a call back from the parts department yesterday but they had only called their oil supplier which is both shell and Pennzoil who told him that Pennzoil euro is still the oil for our trucks.
New fluid can do wonders to a transmission but I wouldn't feel any reason to pull the factory fill out of our transmissions at my present mileage.
And considering that you do, what fluid are you planning to replace it with?
Lol I'm 10 min from the Canadian Border I can't get a straight answer as to if they're actually changing it or not. And what happens with the old spec oil as I have 2.5 gallons of 5w30 in my garage.
No luck
Go to rams website on the owner page and download the new revision of your trucks owners manual. Particularly the diesel supplement page. There is a new revision.
No, if the current revision of the owners manual and the online information provided to dealers stated for them or us as owners that you can run:
5w30 low ash and low saps full synthetic oil meeting FCA MS-11106
OR
5w40 mopar or shell rotella meeting MS10902 and is API CJ-4
If this...
Ok so I just spent an hour or so on the phone with the dealer and schooled the service tech that it's changing, he claims it's likely due to emissions and neither is going to grenade your engine. So run either one they're not going to void your Warranty. Stated that they are completely blind on...
And I actually had a dealership service technician give FCA customer service the WRONG information. Could there possibly be a better way to explain to FCA that their dealers are all too frequently incorrect?
I had the craziest conversation with fca today and proved that dealers don't know what in the bleep they are doing. Check out the psa oil spec thread @cevans started
Well I just proved many points and got disconnected by FCA customer service. Which booted me from chat. Luckily I was snapping screenshots the whole time. I'll update the rest shortly
Ok to be honest I haven't pulled off my rotors and looked but I think that our ecodiesel trucks have the new style that he explained. I was unaware that wheel counters and the ABS sensor is now integrated into the hub assemblies. New technology I guess. Not something that I was aware of until...
My question is when is fca going to have a service bulletin go out to all owners? And what if someone prefers to run the old 5w30 Ms11106 oil? I found an oil I like and stock at home, so why should I change to 5w40 now?
I guess I kind of new this I just didn't realize the weight would change. As previously stated here when I went through what I did with champion oils they informed me that they had designed the high performance Blue flame diesel oil specifically for the change coming in 2017 trucks to be cj-4...
