I’m not sure if I’ve misread this online or not. I have a 2023 Ram with a hemi and I live in Canada. The oil viscosity written on the fill cap is 0W20 for us. From some forums I’ve looked at it seems that in some of the United States the suggested oil is 5w20. I assume this is due to the warmer weather. I also hear of some users jumping up to one thicker viscosity to eliminate the hemi tick if they have it. I know oil is a very much a debated subject online…just wondered your thoughts. I’ve always Used manufacturers suggested and I’m on my 3rd hemi. I have heard at tick the odd time just at startup in extremely hot weather. I could see using 5w20 in the summer for the hot weather starts and 0w20 for the cold weather in the Ontario winter.
