I was down in Baja California and the plastic oil filter blew off. I lost 8 quarts of oil in about 5 seconds. Ordered a new filter from the Ram dealer in San Jose ($190US) and found the Chrysler MS12991 oil at the auto one in Cabo ($205US). It took about a week and a half to get back on the...
Good morning all, made it back home in the good ol USA. My 1500 longhorn ran flawlessly. 31MPG.
Been reading through all the posts this morning regarding the oil and filter for my gen 3 eco diesel.
I checked the back of the Castrol 5w 40 euro full synthetic and this oil is listed ms12991.
It...
Thanks for the info. That said, even the dealership service department uses either mopar oil and penzoil euro full synthetic oil when they change the oil. the ram dealership in Cabo showed me a list with Castol euro full synthetic on it.
They had that one , mopar and the penzoil for sell.
Hey guys, just installed my new oil filter and oil. Lubed up the o rings and torqued it to 25 nm.
No leaks. The dealership down here sold me Castrol 5w 40.

I did think the cartridge...
I pulled the filter, it wasn’t loose. Cleaned and examined the o rings. I’m not a mechanic by any means but I can’t see anything suspicious. I looked for a crack and didn’t notice any. A friend thought it could be a crack in the housing?
The new filter is $196 US at the dealership in SanJose...
It was a blessing in disguise. Parked the truck in the driveway the evening I got there, started it the next morning and saw the oil pouring out. I just pulled the 2 week old filter and can’t see any cracks or o ring issues. I’ll hang out with friends for a week until I get the new filter and...
I recently had the oil changed at the dealership, love those $300 changes. So I’m on a trip down the Baja to see a friend. 1500 miles from home , start the truck in the morning and have oil pouring out from around the filter. Found a dealership in San Jose del Cabo that can get a filter and the...
