Thanks for posting this video. My 2013 5.7 with 153000 miles got the p1524 code I replaced my pressure sensor and the light was still on. After watching your video I changed my oil and replaced my small Stp filter with the larger Mopar Mo-899 filter and that fixed the problem! Thanks
This exact issues just happened to my 2020 Ram 1500 limited. The dealer told me the code that was displayed was incorrrect oil used. I had Amsoil 5w-20 installed with Amsoil filter. I told the dealership there’s no way it could be the oil. They s said they saw the same issue on another Ram truck using Amsoil. They never tested the oil pressure and I couldn’t find anything about incorrect oil when searching that code. The service writer said he remembers me bringing in my own oil and that I need to be installing the correct oil. They even wriote this on the work order which ticked me off because this is something they can use against me if I have an issue later on. Thanks so much for posting this. You’ve been a tremendous help. I’ll let you know how it goes
Firstly Thank You to the original poster of this video, I really appreciate the time you spent to explain your situation. Now for my story if it helps someone else: I popped a P1524 on my 2015 Ram 1500 with 5.7l Hemi. Oil pressure was only 34psi at 1700 rpm at 59 mph and I had recently started getting a rattle or vibration sound that came as the mds turned on or off and could be made to go away by forcing a gear change. It drove me nuts as this truck has 209000 miles and has had nothing but 5w20 penzoil synthetic and kn oil filters since ive owned it from 110000. Well the oil change system showed 30% left oil life but I went ahead today and changed the oil and filter with 5w20 Penzoil platinum synthetic, a bbottle of STP synthetic oil treament (16ish oz gold bottle) and switched from my normal kn oil filter to a mopar M0-899. Great results as now i have 54psi at 1700 rpm at 59 mph. The filter is a bit tighter to put on but fits fine on my 2015 4x4 model. Id guess that the kn filter is to blame here but can't begin to explain why. As a side note my normal 7 quart oil change did require slightly more oil eith the new larger filter and it took quite a bit of manipulation while prefilling the filter to get the air burped out. All in all happy to see such a cheap easy fix, bravo!
Thanks so much for this video. I also have a 2016 Ram 5.7 with the same error code and rattle. I changed to the Mopar filter and changed the oil and the error code and rattle are gone. You saved me a ton of money and I kind of doubt that most service shops would have had a hard time figuring this problem out.
Changed out the Amsoil filter with a K&N and my oil pressure went back to normal,thank you so much for this vid I was getting very worried watching the oil pressure drop lower and lower everyday
@@FLAMECASTERXVI yes it did for a while but now I have been noticing that my idle psi is good but my oil psi while driving is lower than normal at 42-46psi when it normally was 48-52psi,I need to do an oil change so hopefully that has something to do with it?
I'm using a K&N filter on my 2019 and just had this code pop up. I'm going to swap it out - hopefully it resolves the issue. Who would think paying for a premium filter would cause issues
Man you are my hero! My 2017 just threw this code like a week ago and I should still have over 1000 miles before an oil change, still have good oil levels, I heard that clicking/vibration a couple times and was ready to light the truck on fire. The only thing I did differently was change the shop I brought my truck for an oil change. I'll swap the filter tonight after work and see what happens.
Had this issue myself last week, oil pressure while driving on the freeway was at 38-42. Changed out my “VP Racing” filter out for a WIX filter with the anti drain back valve (which the VP Racing didn’t have) and pressures are all back to normal 52-54 while driving freeway speed
Thank you for your video. I did an oil change and my pressure jumped right up to 52 at idle. 121k miles. I used synthetic blend with an extended life premium filter. I need to get my light cleared buy at least I have great oil pressure again. My last oil change was done at a center and this is whst I deserve. They used a generic filter. Never again.
MO-599 filter is the best to use. Its the factory filter. These engines were designed to use Mopar factory parts. The brand and type of oil doesnt really matter. Any brand 5W20 with the ASE and API certification will do just fine as long as you change your oil every 3000 miles on these HEMIs. My truck with the Gen III is about to hit 200,000 miles and I've not had any lifter issues or oil pressure issues, other than the normal low volume/ pressure issues. My 2010 holds 32 psi at idle and 58 psi at 2000 rpm. I would like to see more but that will keep it alive at these stock pressures.
506xxx here. just started misfire out of idle. heads are coming off to see how it is. pulled the trans this summer and it all looked clean no issues there. only hemi “tick” ive had is when i had to change the snapped rear exhaust studs
Good stuff man, thank you! I have always used K&N oil filters. My pressure went from 31 to 53 with just changing the filter to a Purolator Boss. I'm going to try the older version as well during my next change. Luckily I saw this right before I was about to change the switch. I never would've guessed that an oil filter (let alone a "quality" one) would cause this.
This just happened to me. I contacted AMSOIL, I'm shipping them the filter so that they can inspect it. They are sending me a new one too. I got the code only after 1000 miles on new filter. I swapped it out with an AC DELCO and my pressure went from 29 to 51 at idle. AMSOIL is great, they will fix the issue I'm sure.
Heya, thanks for sharing your troubleshooting journey. I have a 2013 Durango Citadel with the 5.7 that has no check engine light, but a permanent P1524 code (and lower than optimal oil pressure).

I have the same problem on my 2014 . Was really scared. I used a K&N the last oil change. The store was out of purolator boss. The filter I have always used.
Thanks for the great video! I just paid $267 at a dealer for this same situation and within 40 miles the same code... I’ll be changing the filter and erasing the code thanks again
I use Amsoil products in all of my engines, and sure enough, my wife's 2012 5.7 JGC is throwing this code. It does have an Amsoil filter on it, and is likely closing in on it's change mileage. Interesting to see in the comments that many people are experiencing this issue with Amsoil filters. I have one on my pre-Eagle 300c, so now I'm curious what my oil pressure is on that. Obviously, it's not going to throw any VCT codes. My L92 does have VCT, and just got the Amsoil filter on it earlier this year with no issues. So, maybe they had a bad run on the Hemi filters?
Huge thumbs up for this video. I could not figure out where the noise was coming from on my 1500. Checked wheel bearings cv axles and nothing worked so thank you for this.
thank you so much, you saved me a lot of money, i was showing this error and another, oil was changed i think 2000 or 3000km and i don't think it was synthetic or if they used correct filter, anyways I changed with oem filter and approved oil and problem solved
I just had the exact same situation on my 2020 Ram 1500 Limited. I had Amsoil 5w-20 installed along with the Amsoil EA-15K50 oil filter. After bout 4,000 miles, my MIL turned on. I took it to the dealership and they did a bunch of software updates as well as replaced the oil pressure sensor and cleared the code. They took it for a test drive and said everything was fine and the MIL was now off. I left the dealership and about 3 miles into my drive, the MIL came back on. I immediately called the dealership and told them what happened and they scheduled another appointment for me. On the second appointment, they said they went through the remained of the diagnostic tests but didn’t come up with anything. They said the last item that was suggested was to change out oil filter. They changed out the Amsoil oil filter with a Mopar. The MIL is now off and so far so good. If it stays off, I’m tempted to try the Amsoil filter again to see if the MIL goes back on. I spoke with a tech at Amsoil but they weren’t sure why I was receiving that code. I gave them the batch number of my oil filter just in case and I’m holding on to the filter if needed later. I did see about a 10 psi increase in oil pressure with the Mopar filter at idle speed. I really would like to run the Amsoil EA oil filter but at this point, it’s not looking like it will work unless I just had a faulty filter.
Don't bother with the Amsoil Oil filter. It is an outsourced/third party manufactured item. Their supplier simply makes the filter to the requested specs and slaps an Amsoil sticker on it. Go with the larger size 2012 and older filter and pick anyone of your favorite brands from the local parts store. You won't have this problem again and you'll still be running Amsoil oil which is the important part.
I’ll have to try the older larger filter next oil change but since the truck is under warranty so I just did what the dealer suggested and had them install the Mopar filter. I was using the Amsoil filter because it’s supposed to be an extended life filter made for longer drain intervals. I have been using them for 20 years with no issues until using them in my new Ram. I did see an increase in oil pressure when switching to the Mopar filter. I was running about 58 psi at 1500rpm.
Thank you so much for your video! I have a 2011 Ram and my check engine light came on yesterday. I changed the oil a little over 3k miles ago but I usually but the Mopar 899 filter and they were out of that one. So I bought a K and N filter which is smaller than the Mopar. First thing tomorrow morning I'm going to change the oil and filter again using the Mopar filter or Purolator or something the same size as the bigger Mopar . I hope that works.
Seems like an oil filter issue. Did you save the old oil filter you removed? What was the brand and part number of the oil filter that was used when the issue occurred?
Had the same issue used a Mopar filter and Castrol 5w20 went to a wix filter and changed the sensor unit with a standard red box . The scan tool said it was the sensor. But being a heavy equipment mechanic for 13.00$ change the filter too. So far ok. Ram 1500 laramie 5.7 158,000 km.
Wow I switched to Amsoil along with Amsoil filter about 3 or 4 oil changes ago and I noticed after about 2,000 mi. my oil pressure was dropping too 31-34psi at Idle and only 38-46psi while driving but it always use to stay in the low 50’s while driving and no less than 34psi at Idle so I’m gonna try switching out the oil filter,no codes yet but I seems like my oil pressure is slightly dropping everyday
Had this same issue, I was using a filter without an “anti drain back valve” switched to a WIX filter with the anti drain back valve and oil PSI is back up to 52-54 range
my car says it has 5psi ever since i changed the oil and used another filter, same codes appeared and now it does a weird noise on engine but the dipstick has no oil, ill do these steps and see if it works after, thank you bro 🙏🏽
No oil on dipstick, yikes! Make sure you've refilled your oil until oil appears at the proper level between add/fill line. If the oil disappears after that you either have a massive oil leak or a failure/blockage in the engine oil lubrication system i.e. oil pump or blockage elsewhere in the system. Hope you are able to get things sorted.
Hi I’m having the same issue with the check engine light I already bought the purolator filter and I bought Mobil 1 5W30 oil because the Napa guy recommend me that. I need to travel in a few days so I can’t wait for the shipping of the Amsoil website, my question if that oil (Mobil 1, 5W30) with work fine for my Ram 1500 2014 Hemi 5.7
I'm having the same code different issue. I'm getting around 80 psi while driving and 60 while idle I already tried different oils and filters but no luck so far
I2022 Ram 1500 Limited use Amsoil 0W20 SS and Trasko 20 ws full flow and bypass filter all in one 3 gallons/minute for full flow and 1 gallon for bypass also cleans to 1 micron added oil relocation kit for EZ oil change did an oil analysis came back perfect engine is quite smooth running not jerky like before 17K miles I change the oil every 4K cause I like to and use Amsoil engine clean with every oil change I like clean oil.
Hi. Thanks for you helpful video. I changed my filter and the light went away. I also have the same symptoms you described: vibrating sound at about 1500 or so RPMs. That is still making that noise. Can you tell me if you fixed this some other way other than the filter change? Thanks again.
Hey Bryan, In my situation the rattling/vibrating engine noise was caused by low oil pressure impeding proper operation of the variable valve timing (VVT) system. The filter change resolved the low oil pressure which resolved the engine trouble code and disruption in the VVT system. If you have not done so already, after your oil filter change, you probably want to clear the trouble codes with a scan tool and drive your vehicle for a few dozen miles over a few stop start cycles to see if the VVT rattle stops. If it does not stop, you may have another issue at hand. Good luck.
It's a very easy fix just replace the PVC valve replace the oil sensor switch and change your oil the problems you go right away I forgot one step by some engine flush before you change it flush the engine then change the oil you should be fine it's just sludge that's why people don't really show you love them fixing it cuz it's so easy and I don't mind yesterday and I bought the engine flush from Napa for $5 and I use the wix oil filter from Napa also use 7 gallons of 5w 20 Purple oil full synthetic
The rattle was caused by low oil pressure throwing the trouble code which deactivated the Variable Valve Timing system. Changing the faulty / clogged oil filter resolved the low oil pressure issue, clearing the trouble code which in turn resolved the VVT deactivation which was the source of the rattling sound. Try changing your oil filter, even if it’s newish. Hope this helps.
I'm having the same issue but I'm curious what the nose you heard sounded like. I'm getting a noise that sounds like a plastic bag fluttering in the wind. The noise stops immediately if I hit the gear- button on the steering wheel. Is that the noise you heard? Also happened a lot during engine breaking coming to a stop.
So I’m confused. Is 32-42 a pretty good idle oil pressure ?? I always thought 25-30psi is the best at idle? Everyone in the comments are saying they fixed it and it was like 35+ in idle so is that normal? My 2014 charger RT oil pressure is 35-42 at idle and never above 55-60 while flooring it. Normal?
I have a 2019 R/T challenger with the same code p1524 my pis while idle is 32-40 did u do the olive filter swap and if did how's everything running now?
Check engine light came on yesterday 2-8-21. Brought in to dealer and they told me I had same error code P1524 and it was because I was running Amsoil. I called Amsoil and they said it was not the oil, but the filter (admitted I am not first to complain about this issue with this particular filter and engine). Took back to dealer and had them replace with Mopar filter and full synthetic oil. Pressure levels back to normal. Would prefer to run Amsoil, but with the added cost and hassle of changing at OEM intervals, its cheaper and easier to just have the dealership do it. Could they make getting to this oil filter any more difficult?
My dealership is saying that if an oil change doesn't fix it, they will have to clean the entire engine for metal debris, and if that doesn't fix it then a full engine replacement will be needed. I really hope the oil change here is what they do to fix it.
I had Dodge repair facility state diagnosis for this problem replacing engine w/ long block or remanufactured engine. This is my 1st Dodge product & going to try lots of possible cheaper solutions before going that route. 😆
So I dont know if this is across all vehicles but an oil filter for a 2012 Ram 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi does not fit a 2014. I dont know if it works for a 2016 model year but I do know it doesn't work for 2014. The bigger filter does not work, without some modication
What oil filter are you using? Just noticed after a thousand miles or so after my oil change that my oil pressure dropped to 27-30 at idle and goes up to 30-34 when driving / cruising around. Going to replace the 3 things as you did in this video since everything is fairly cheap.
I have the p1524 code right now on a 18 ram 1500 hemi and am about 3000 miles into Amsoil sig series 5w 20 with the Amsoil filter. I don’t know what to do if I should continue to run the because psi isn’t everything lower psi could mean the oil is flowing with less restriction so it needs less pressure to flow with high volume. I am at 30 psi at idle at temperature. And 35-37 when driving normal 1500 rpm at operating temps. I cleared today with a scan tool and will see if the code comes back or should I change the oil and filter now. Did the OP ever go back to Amsoil with the bigger filter?
Hi Jake, sounds like you are having the exact same problem I had. Short answer, Yes. Back to normal PSI with Amsoil and larger Purolator filter. We also run the same setup in my son's 2013 Ram. All good. Long answer: I also cleared the code several times with my scan tool. It continued to come back when I had the faulty Amsoil EA filter on. I suggest changing the oil filter as soon as possible because your oil filter is clogged up and in bypass. Basically since the oil can't get through the filtration media its just flowing straight through with no filtration to keep up with the engine oil pump demand. This means you are circulating dirty oil through your engine. I also suggest getting another brand larger 2012 and older size filter. Your oil and engine will be much happier. Once you change the filter, save the old Amsoil filter and contact Amsoil to let them know what happened. They will most likely ask you to return it so they can inspect to see if the filter was in fact clogged or faulty. If it's faulty you'll probably get a refund or replacement (I would take the refund).
@Attached2MyGarage I just put in a fram ultra synthetic and had 56psi at start up and 30 psi at 208f at 500 rpm I cleared my code p1524 it has not come back on yet but my pressures are pretty much the same. I have only driven 5 miles or so I will update if the code comes back. Ps I topped oil off with one whole quart of Amsoil signature series 5w20.
You did not give the pressure after the fix. Seems that your pressure is too low. Mine is a 2014. W/ 50 + lbs . Try Grease lightning Zink/Teflon Additive. It cleared my code instantly. Cherrs. Sir!
Hi Matthew - Changing my oil filter got my oil pressure back in range eliminating the VCT trouble code. In this video I also suggest opting for the larger pre-2012 Hemi oil filter size. More filtering media to help prevent clogging the filter. Thanks for watching! -Dan
Leaving the clogged oil filter forces the filter into bypass. This means you will be running unfiltered oil through your engine over and over. Long term this will create premature wear on many critical surfaces including the cylinder. Changing the oil depends how long you've been running it with a clogged filter. If using Amsoil, you can send the oil in for analysis and Amsoil will tell you if it's time to change the oil. Not to mention continuing to run your truck with a trouble code long term will hurt your trucks feelings:) Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated. -Dan
Did you try the larger filter yet? I just did the same thing (was using the Amsoil filter) and used the larger one, pressure at idle went from 29 to 50. Haven't driven it yet, did you have any issues with the pressure being high after using the larger filter?
I put the larger filter on my son's 2013 and all is working well. I'll put the larger one on my 2016 next oil change. As long as your oil pressure is between 25 - 110PSI you know your oil pump is working. The trouble code comes into play if your PSI never exceeds 42PSI. That's where the variable cam timing kicks in. So based on your above comment going from 29 (does not exceed VCT trigger) up to 50 (VCT trigger achieved) you should be in good order with no more trouble code. Thanks for watching a commenting. -Dan
Swapped the Amsoil high micron filter out today for a new wix filter did not change the oil. I went from 25 psi at idle to 38 psi immediately and 61 psi at 3,000 rpm. I believe the Amsoil filter was plugged at 7,300 miles and the ecm was bypassing hence dropping the pressure hence disabling the vct system hence throwing the p1524 code
I have just done the same and the MIL has not cleared but noticeable difference on oil pressure gauge with WIX filter. BTW, Amsoil is not recommending that filter anymore and advising to get a WIX. Waiting to see if the code clears itself or will I have to get a mechanic to clear it.
That’s why I stick to oem oil filters eliminates the headaches and guess work, this truck was tested with the oem filter installed not some aftermarket filter that’s not made to specs of the manufacturer just because it screws on doesn’t mean it’s working correctly internally..don’t let a non tested aftermarket filter blow your 10k engine it’s not worth it to be arguing and fighting with your dealership over who’s fault it is when your engine goes left.. when a problem arises the oil filter company and engine manufacturer will be pointing fingers at each other and you’ll be left holding the bag.. can you afford to have your truck sitting at the dealership while they play the blame game? Can you afford a lawyer that will fight for you to get engine work performed?? Use oem filter along with proper spec oil weight and quality and oil changes performed on time and that removes all doubt and then you can’t be blamed for anything
Thanks for posting this video. My 2013 5.7 with 153000 miles got the p1524 code I replaced my pressure sensor and the light was still on. After watching your video I changed my oil and replaced my small Stp filter with the larger Mopar Mo-899 filter and that fixed the problem! Thanks

Obviously, it's not going to throw any VCT codes. My L92 does have VCT, and just got the Amsoil filter on it earlier this year with no issues. So, maybe they had a bad run on the Hemi filters?
Huge thumbs up for this video. I could not figure out where the noise was coming from on my 1500. Checked wheel bearings cv axles and nothing worked so thank you for this.
Awesome! Glad it fixed the noise. Thanks for the thumbs up.
Does it sound like sticking something into a running fan, and only happens on deceleration?
thank you so much, you saved me a lot of money, i was showing this error and another, oil was changed i think 2000 or 3000km and i don't think it was synthetic or if they used correct filter, anyways I changed with oem filter and approved oil and problem solved
I just had the exact same situation on my 2020 Ram 1500 Limited. I had Amsoil 5w-20 installed along with the Amsoil EA-15K50 oil filter. After bout 4,000 miles, my MIL turned on. I took it to the dealership and they did a bunch of software updates as well as replaced the oil pressure sensor and cleared the code. They took it for a test drive and said everything was fine and the MIL was now off. I left the dealership and about 3 miles into my drive, the MIL came back on. I immediately called the dealership and told them what happened and they scheduled another appointment for me. On the second appointment, they said they went through the remained of the diagnostic tests but didn’t come up with anything. They said the last item that was suggested was to change out oil filter. They changed out the Amsoil oil filter with a Mopar. The MIL is now off and so far so good. If it stays off, I’m tempted to try the Amsoil filter again to see if the MIL goes back on. I spoke with a tech at Amsoil but they weren’t sure why I was receiving that code. I gave them the batch number of my oil filter just in case and I’m holding on to the filter if needed later. I did see about a 10 psi increase in oil pressure with the Mopar filter at idle speed. I really would like to run the Amsoil EA oil filter but at this point, it’s not looking like it will work unless I just had a faulty filter.
Don't bother with the Amsoil Oil filter. It is an outsourced/third party manufactured item. Their supplier simply makes the filter to the requested specs and slaps an Amsoil sticker on it. Go with the larger size 2012 and older filter and pick anyone of your favorite brands from the local parts store. You won't have this problem again and you'll still be running Amsoil oil which is the important part.
I’ll have to try the older larger filter next oil change but since the truck is under warranty so I just did what the dealer suggested and had them install the Mopar filter. I was using the Amsoil filter because it’s supposed to be an extended life filter made for longer drain intervals. I have been using them for 20 years with no issues until using them in my new Ram. I did see an increase in oil pressure when switching to the Mopar filter. I was running about 58 psi at 1500rpm.
Thank you so much for your video! I have a 2011 Ram and my check engine light came on yesterday. I changed the oil a little over 3k miles ago but I usually but the Mopar 899 filter and they were out of that one. So I bought a K and N filter which is smaller than the Mopar. First thing tomorrow morning I'm going to change the oil and filter again using the Mopar filter or Purolator or something the same size as the bigger Mopar . I hope that works.
Hello sir did buying the bigger filter work ? Thank you in advance?
@@agsosj14 yes. That fixed it
@@DanoSlingz I appreciate you responding.
Seems like an oil filter issue. Did you save the old oil filter you removed? What was the brand and part number of the oil filter that was used when the issue occurred?
Had the same issue used a Mopar filter and Castrol 5w20 went to a wix filter and changed the sensor unit with a standard red box . The scan tool said it was the sensor. But being a heavy equipment mechanic for 13.00$ change the filter too. So far ok. Ram 1500 laramie 5.7 158,000 km.
Buy your oil filters at the dealership. I found they cost LESS at the dealer and you get the right filter for your truck.
What caused the noise mines doing same thing
Thanks so much had been trouble shooting this now for a few days and am gunna hit the filter today
Wow I switched to Amsoil along with Amsoil filter about 3 or 4 oil changes ago and I noticed after about 2,000 mi. my oil pressure was dropping too 31-34psi at Idle and only 38-46psi while driving but it always use to stay in the low 50’s while driving and no less than 34psi at Idle so I’m gonna try switching out the oil filter,no codes yet but I seems like my oil pressure is slightly dropping everyday
Did it fix the issue
Had this same issue, I was using a filter without an “anti drain back valve” switched to a WIX filter with the anti drain back valve and oil PSI is back up to 52-54 range
@@FLAMECASTERXVI Yes it did
@@zchhrrs4590 Amsoil rep told me they stopped making the oil filter for the 5.7 because of this issue
my car says it has 5psi ever since i changed the oil and used another filter, same codes appeared and now it does a weird noise on engine but the dipstick has no oil, ill do these steps and see if it works after, thank you bro 🙏🏽
No oil on dipstick, yikes! Make sure you've refilled your oil until oil appears at the proper level between add/fill line. If the oil disappears after that you either have a massive oil leak or a failure/blockage in the engine oil lubrication system i.e. oil pump or blockage elsewhere in the system. Hope you are able to get things sorted.
Hi I’m having the same issue with the check engine light I already bought the purolator filter and I bought Mobil 1 5W30 oil because the Napa guy recommend me that. I need to travel in a few days so I can’t wait for the shipping of the Amsoil website, my question if that oil (Mobil 1, 5W30) with work fine for my Ram 1500 2014 Hemi 5.7
I'm having the same code different issue. I'm getting around 80 psi while driving and 60 while idle I already tried different oils and filters but no luck so far
I2022 Ram 1500 Limited use Amsoil 0W20 SS and Trasko 20 ws full flow and bypass filter all in one 3 gallons/minute for full flow and 1 gallon for bypass also cleans to 1 micron added oil relocation kit for EZ oil change did an oil analysis came back perfect engine is quite smooth running not jerky like before 17K miles I change the oil every 4K cause I like to and use Amsoil engine clean with every oil change I like clean oil.
What item number is the Valvoline oil filter? I got a 2020 1500 Rebel
What ended up happening with the larger filter?
I have the same issue but I’m running Royal Purple and a WIX filter. Should I stay with royal purple and just get an OEM filter?
Hi. Thanks for you helpful video. I changed my filter and the light went away. I also have the same symptoms you described: vibrating sound at about 1500 or so RPMs. That is still making that noise. Can you tell me if you fixed this some other way other than the filter change? Thanks again.
Hey Bryan, In my situation the rattling/vibrating engine noise was caused by low oil pressure impeding proper operation of the variable valve timing (VVT) system. The filter change resolved the low oil pressure which resolved the engine trouble code and disruption in the VVT system. If you have not done so already, after your oil filter change, you probably want to clear the trouble codes with a scan tool and drive your vehicle for a few dozen miles over a few stop start cycles to see if the VVT rattle stops. If it does not stop, you may have another issue at hand. Good luck.
It's a very easy fix just replace the PVC valve replace the oil sensor switch and change your oil the problems you go right away I forgot one step by some engine flush before you change it flush the engine then change the oil you should be fine it's just sludge that's why people don't really show you love them fixing it cuz it's so easy and I don't mind yesterday and I bought the engine flush from Napa for $5 and I use the wix oil filter from Napa also use 7 gallons of 5w 20 Purple oil full synthetic
in the video you mentioned a weird brief rattle on acceleration. How did you fix that? thanks!
The rattle was caused by low oil pressure throwing the trouble code which deactivated the Variable Valve Timing system. Changing the faulty / clogged oil filter resolved the low oil pressure issue, clearing the trouble code which in turn resolved the VVT deactivation which was the source of the rattling sound. Try changing your oil filter, even if it’s newish. Hope this helps.
I'm having the same issue but I'm curious what the nose you heard sounded like. I'm getting a noise that sounds like a plastic bag fluttering in the wind. The noise stops immediately if I hit the gear- button on the steering wheel. Is that the noise you heard? Also happened a lot during engine breaking coming to a stop.
Did you ever find out what was that noise? I'm having the same issue on my 2014 Ram 1500. Thank you
@@alfredoaguilar6400 that noise is the mds cylinder deactivation getting stuck due to low oil pressure.
So I’m confused. Is 32-42 a pretty good idle oil pressure ?? I always thought 25-30psi is the best at idle? Everyone in the comments are saying they fixed it and it was like 35+ in idle so is that normal? My 2014 charger RT oil pressure is 35-42 at idle and never above 55-60 while flooring it. Normal?
I have a 2019 R/T challenger with the same code p1524 my pis while idle is 32-40 did u do the olive filter swap and if did how's everything running now?
Check engine light came on yesterday 2-8-21. Brought in to dealer and they told me I had same error code P1524 and it was because I was running Amsoil. I called Amsoil and they said it was not the oil, but the filter (admitted I am not first to complain about this issue with this particular filter and engine). Took back to dealer and had them replace with Mopar filter and full synthetic oil. Pressure levels back to normal. Would prefer to run Amsoil, but with the added cost and hassle of changing at OEM intervals, its cheaper and easier to just have the dealership do it. Could they make getting to this oil filter any more difficult?
My dealership is saying that if an oil change doesn't fix it, they will have to clean the entire engine for metal debris, and if that doesn't fix it then a full engine replacement will be needed. I really hope the oil change here is what they do to fix it.
I had Dodge repair facility state diagnosis for this problem replacing engine w/ long block or remanufactured engine. This is my 1st Dodge product & going to try lots of possible cheaper solutions before going that route. 😆
So I dont know if this is across all vehicles but an oil filter for a 2012 Ram 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi does not fit a 2014. I dont know if it works for a 2016 model year but I do know it doesn't work for 2014. The bigger filter does not work, without some modication
Interesting, why won't it work? Not enough space? The threading should be the same.
What oil filter are you using? Just noticed after a thousand miles or so after my oil change that my oil pressure dropped to 27-30 at idle and goes up to 30-34 when driving / cruising around. Going to replace the 3 things as you did in this video since everything is fairly cheap.
Did it work? What was the end result?
Did it ever come back?
Nope, new oil filter solved the problem. 50,000 miles later with oil changes at oil life indicator intervals and I’ve never had that problem again
I have the p1524 code right now on a 18 ram 1500 hemi and am about 3000 miles into Amsoil sig series 5w 20 with the Amsoil filter. I don’t know what to do if I should continue to run the because psi isn’t everything lower psi could mean the oil is flowing with less restriction so it needs less pressure to flow with high volume. I am at 30 psi at idle at temperature. And 35-37 when driving normal 1500 rpm at operating temps. I cleared today with a scan tool and will see if the code comes back or should I change the oil and filter now. Did the OP ever go back to Amsoil with the bigger filter?
Hi Jake, sounds like you are having the exact same problem I had.
Short answer, Yes. Back to normal PSI with Amsoil and larger Purolator filter. We also run the same setup in my son's 2013 Ram. All good.
Long answer: I also cleared the code several times with my scan tool. It continued to come back when I had the faulty Amsoil EA filter on. I suggest changing the oil filter as soon as possible because your oil filter is clogged up and in bypass. Basically since the oil can't get through the filtration media its just flowing straight through with no filtration to keep up with the engine oil pump demand. This means you are circulating dirty oil through your engine. I also suggest getting another brand larger 2012 and older size filter. Your oil and engine will be much happier.
Once you change the filter, save the old Amsoil filter and contact Amsoil to let them know what happened. They will most likely ask you to return it so they can inspect to see if the filter was in fact clogged or faulty. If it's faulty you'll probably get a refund or replacement (I would take the refund).
@@attached2mygarage37 yessir thanks for your speedy reply in my time of uncertainty I’ll be doing that soon.
@Attached2MyGarage I just put in a fram ultra synthetic and had 56psi at start up and 30 psi at 208f at 500 rpm I cleared my code p1524 it has not come back on yet but my pressures are pretty much the same. I have only driven 5 miles or so I will update if the code comes back. Ps I topped oil off with one whole quart of Amsoil signature series 5w20.
My problem is solved it was the filter thanks very much for this video.
You did not give the pressure after the fix.
Seems that your pressure is too low. Mine is a 2014. W/ 50 + lbs . Try Grease lightning Zink/Teflon Additive. It cleared my code instantly. Cherrs. Sir!
What was your solution to the VCT problem? My truck has the same symptoms.
Hi Matthew - Changing my oil filter got my oil pressure back in range eliminating the VCT trouble code. In this video I also suggest opting for the larger pre-2012 Hemi oil filter size. More filtering media to help prevent clogging the filter.
Thanks for watching!

I just did the same and my ram still reading 24 at idle what else can I do I need help
I'm having the same issue did you figure it out
I’m having the same did you ever get it fixed
@@wnr_editz4290you ever get yours fixed?
What will happen if I keep the oil and filter that caused that code? Assuming that I'm experiencing the same issue.
Leaving the clogged oil filter forces the filter into bypass. This means you will be running unfiltered oil through your engine over and over. Long term this will create premature wear on many critical surfaces including the cylinder. Changing the oil depends how long you've been running it with a clogged filter. If using Amsoil, you can send the oil in for analysis and Amsoil will tell you if it's time to change the oil.
Not to mention continuing to run your truck with a trouble code long term will hurt your trucks feelings:)
Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated.

@@attached2mygarage37 Thanks!🍻
Did you try the larger filter yet? I just did the same thing (was using the Amsoil filter) and used the larger one, pressure at idle went from 29 to 50. Haven't driven it yet, did you have any issues with the pressure being high after using the larger filter?
I put the larger filter on my son's 2013 and all is working well. I'll put the larger one on my 2016 next oil change.
As long as your oil pressure is between 25 - 110PSI you know your oil pump is working. The trouble code comes into play if your PSI never exceeds 42PSI. That's where the variable cam timing kicks in. So based on your above comment going from 29 (does not exceed VCT trigger) up to 50 (VCT trigger achieved) you should be in good order with no more trouble code.
Thanks for watching a commenting.

Great Job!!! Very helpful Thanks
Swapped the Amsoil high micron filter out today for a new wix filter did not change the oil. I went from 25 psi at idle to 38 psi immediately and 61 psi at 3,000 rpm. I believe the Amsoil filter was plugged at 7,300 miles and the ecm was bypassing hence dropping the pressure hence disabling the vct system hence throwing the p1524 code
Did it fix the issue
I have just done the same and the MIL has not cleared but noticeable difference on oil pressure gauge with WIX filter. BTW, Amsoil is not recommending that filter anymore and advising to get a WIX. Waiting to see if the code clears itself or will I have to get a mechanic to clear it.
Did you have any misfire codes?
Better verify the pressures of each of those filters and make sure the same that is more likely what caused your issue on your code P 1524
What kind of oil do you use
Amsoil Signature Series 5W-20 Synthetic:

Gracias
Thank you very much
That’s why I stick to oem oil filters eliminates the headaches and guess work, this truck was tested with the oem filter installed not some aftermarket filter that’s not made to specs of the manufacturer just because it screws on doesn’t mean it’s working correctly internally..don’t let a non tested aftermarket filter blow your 10k engine it’s not worth it to be arguing and fighting with your dealership over who’s fault it is when your engine goes left.. when a problem arises the oil filter company and engine manufacturer will be pointing fingers at each other and you’ll be left holding the bag.. can you afford to have your truck sitting at the dealership while they play the blame game? Can you afford a lawyer that will fight for you to get engine work performed?? Use oem filter along with proper spec oil weight and quality and oil changes performed on time and that removes all doubt and then you can’t be blamed for anything
Well said. This comment belongs at the top of the page.
