Is John Wick after him or something??
I can't usually watch someone this long very well spoken highly technical point of view one of the best videos I've seen lately
This is not the first time I have heard talk about not letting a Hemi idle. Or not for too long because its not getting enough oil to the lifters. I'm glad I found this video by accident.
I put mine in neutral and play with the accelerator in long stops

@@claudehosch4706 Actually not a bad idea if i ever end up getting one.
My 2015 Ram 6.4 got metal in oil at 98k. Bought a complete engine from Chrysler, cam from crane, upgraded springs Removed MDS, Hell cat oil pump and lifters, new radiator. After JMB in Hillsboro Mo. tuned it the transmission shifts correctly finally after 8 years. (6 speed).
The coolant always stays at 215 degrees and the oil temp stays at 226 degrees. 9k miles so far so good. But at a total cost of $18,700. I hope it holds up. I do not want to buy another new truck. I still have the old motor and have not opened it up yet. Also this was during the time of parts shortage 6 months of waiting. Soon I will have dual exhaust and be able to enjoy the slight rumble of the cam.
I'd slowly rebuild it over the next couple years and you can keep jumping back and forth between motors.
The best diy presentation I've ever seen. Thank you !!!
Great video ! I have been following for years now, shortly after you started this venture. Glad to see you providing fantastic info, not just guesses.
Is this like the ONLY video that addresses a solution to this issue? Well done and THANK YOU!!
This is an absolute CLINIC, my man! I love it. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
Facts. The frequent oil change interval is absolutely the best way to prevent wear / failure. Our 2007 RAM 2500 with the original 5.7 Hemi has 150K on it and we had to recently swap the oil pan (due to rust-through thanks to the midwest rust belt doing its thing) & windage tray/gasket. The internals looked fantastic and not a single tick in 16+ years of service due to oil changes being done every 3000 miles. 50 oil changes doesn't seem like much of a price to pay to avoid issues like engine component failure at bay. Cheers!
My opinion on Modern fuel injected engines is they run much cleaner than an older engine therefore 5000 Mi is easily doable and acceptable. If you follow the computers recommendation I believe it will be past 7500 which I think is too long
@@thomasward4505 Heat and pressure breakdown oil in conjunction with carbon present in the oil as so-called modern engines utilize low tension rings which contributes to contaminated oil. That coupled with modern engines using more oil; as an example Hemi engines consume a factory acceptable amount equal to 1 quart per 1000 miles. Engines are expensive, oil and filters are not.
@@strykerentllc my 2014 Ram hemi does not use one quart of oil in 5000 miles which by the way I use it for towing and Hauling at least half the time. So one quart of oil in a thousand miles would be excessive but maybe in the realm of factory recommendation I don't know
@@thomasward4505 Dodge's acceptable oil consumption is 1 quart per 1000 miles. Next time you're at the dealer, you can ask and they will confirm the same. The PCV valve is there for a reason - evacuates the engine of oil vapors as the oil is heated during the run cycle to be burned through the intake cycle of the firing order. Oil vapors are part of heating oil and if there was no PCV on the engine, it would pressurize the crankcase and cause gasket failures.
My 6.4 uses no oil in 5k miles. I think one quart per 5k is acceptable but every 1k is concerning.@@strykerentllc
This was a great walk-through on your troubleshooting process. I'm on my 5th gen3 hemi and thankfully never had this issue but very commonly reported on lxforums over the years
This is one of the most well put together information videos on this subject thank you for youe clearness!!
*EXCELLENT* video, thank you. Very very simply explained, and great level of detail.
Thank you. Completely agree as a mechanic who built couple hundreds of Hemi engines. I have an engineer mechanic background and could not add anything, at least now.👍
Appreciate you watching Boris!
@@ReignitedAuto The new 0w 30 oil breaks down(looses lubricity) much faster than 5 or 10w 30 use Motorkote or redline engine additive they are both great all others are sub par or no better than just oil alone
Who else touched their screen and thought their screen was cracked when you went to your white board!? Lol
I love your videos! Thank you so much for all your knowledge. You’ve helped me repair my own Lifter / Cam swap.
Me lol
I blew thinking it was dog hair 😂
This is the most informative video I’ve seen in TH-cam. Thank you
Wow was listening to during work and it’s great to have someone who is very informative and answers almost every question that pops to my head. Thanks for all the videos I subscribe and watch all new vids now , they all great man👍👍
I just put the hellcat oil pump on my 2018 Ram with 228,000km. I have MDS off so no code came on. I haven't had any engine trouble, and always used pennzoil Ultra platinum. Mechanic said it was the cleanest 5.7 hemi he's seen. Hoping to take this engine to 500k. Thank you for dissecting this topic so miticulously and sharing your knowledge.
What weight of oil you use?
@@DellCvz 5w-20
How do you turn of the mds? Did you make a phisical delete?
@@ARFoodsmx I got the Edge Pulsar tuner. Piggybacks on the factory ECM and I can change settings on the fly using my cruise control buttons. It's worked amazing for me for the last 150,000km. Worth the money if you ask me.
My 08 ram has 240,000 miles, I'll race ya😅
All that I can say is " AMAZING EXPLANATION ", you are not just smart and logical but are excellent teacher. Keep up the great work Sr.
Thank you so much
THANK YOU! I've been having the issue for the past couple weeks ever since I installed a 6.2 oil pump. I could not find anything definitive after hours of research. You came In clutch with changing out my cam and lifters on my 5.7 and you came in clutch once again.
The only Hemi advice channel I trust
This is an outstanding development! I can’t thank you enough for the effort that you have put into the tick issue.
I have been through this, replaced the cam and lifters, followed your advice and upgraded to the HC pump in my 2012 R/T. The P0524 error has been plaguing me as a result. I installed a code reader and just keep clearing the error as it comes up. I will definitely be putting the in-line resistors into play as soon as possible. Thank you so much for all that you do. 👍🏻👍🏻
Great info. I used the Hellcat pump on my 2014 Ram after I did a cam/lifter replacement and I have zero issues.
This is truly an awesome video! It's amazing me sitting on my couch can learn so much about an engine in 15 minutes! Thank you for the video! I am looking ti buy a truck soon and saw one with this engine in it.
Great video. For years I have used resistors to fix pre 1989 gm gauges. Gm used to put resistors right on the back of the gauge itself.
Thanks for this clear summary and update. Still loving my 2019 Scat Charger!!
Thanks for watching!
I don't think there is another video like this on YT, anywhere!! Thank You!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you. You have the best explanation I've found so far. Very informative!
Props to you for taking a deep dive look into this. So much speculation, I appreciate a your level headed facts based approach.
Appreciate you watching 👍
Very good deep dive into this issue. It all makes sense with supportive information, and it as cursory or dismissive as others.
Appreciate you watching!
Great Video, very informative. I’ve been keeping up with my oil changes regularly and I currently have 60k on my 2019 scat pack charger. If I do run into a lifter issue I would definitely upgrade to the hellcat oil pump along with changing out the bad lifters and cam shaft. Thanks
Very informative as usually. If we didn't have you, we wouldn't have the insight that we do. Good job brother.
I love watching this channel, getting me ready to build my 300 srt wagon
Melling also has a newly released high volume pump for the later model engines, part number M452HV which has the same displacement as the hellcat pump.
Great video that condenses previous videos and updates to the current time. Thanks for putting the work into this for our community. I plan on putting a 5.7 in my 58 Plymouth... With the pump upgrade and higher quality cam/lifters.
what are the higher quality cam/lifters?
I have a 2010 Challenger RT 6 speed manual and I have a 2014 5.7 hemi block from a Charger that I plan on building for my 87 Dakota. When you first put out the oil pump video I bought 2 of the Hell Cat oil pumps but I haven’t installed either of them yet.
Literally explained what was happening to my old 2014 challenger rt redline edition.
Great video, lots of great information. I have an 08 Charger that I am thinking about upgrading the cam and lifters to the 6.2. I will put a Melling pump in at that time also. I am currently getting ready to change a wiring harness to solve a problem with the MDS showing an open circuit and not functioning. I have it disabled in the tune, but want to get it working again.
Just watched your budget build up series because I was debating pulling the 6.4 out of my challenger to replace my cam next weekend. You made it look easy inside the care. Now I am finding this video, from TODAY after I learned of my lifter failure lol. Oh boy. Thanks for the vids.
Appreciate you watching!
Brilliant. Thanks for your videos. I've had a lifter failure on a 2013 5.7 in a Ram truck. I do my oil changes religiously between 3500-4000 miles but I did idle the truck a lot. Winter in Appalachia.
I found your videos after developing the lifter tick in my '19 Pursuit. I replaced everything and did the Hellcat oil pump as well and left MDS intact. I couldn't find a 7.4k resistor and used a 7.5k and wired it in last night. The MIL didn't come back on and I believe the MDS was working as my mpg on a route I drive daily increased from before I added the resistors. Thank you for your videos and help!
Great video dude !! Your explanation was spot on. I have a 2012 Grand Cherokee 5.7 hemi . Mopar had to replace the engine at 98,000 miles because of this. LI’m one of the fortunate ones that have a lifetime bumper-to-bumper Mopar warranty on my Grand Cherokee. At this point I might just go ahead and install that hellcat oil pump because I plan to keep the car for a long 😊 time .
Great information! I wonder if the upper psi limit was set to prevent damage to the MSD system. Thoughts?
Outstanding video! Thanks for the thorough description and solid solutions.
It's like you read my mind. Thank you, so many questions answered.
Great educational video. As I listened to explanation on oil pressure/volume & error codes I kinda anticipated the oil sensor needed to be re-ranged or a different sensor such as on the hell cat engine needed to be installed. The voltage bridge was brilliant but I though the low end readings would be 12% lower now too. Being an old insrrument/electrician journeyman have seen field issues in instruments due to interference of all types from electrical induction to mechanical vibration, nicked cables when pulled in conduit. Anyway, having an 05 1500 with 5.7, 118k miles I have heard a tick now and then but now has quit. After changing crank sensor many codes have dissapeared fuel mileage increased, engine runs well. Thank you for your explanations & time putting together video. Most appreciated & subscribed & forwarded to some other 5.7 motor heads. Thanks Bro!
This was absolutely awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to explain this 👍😁
Thanks for watching Dave! 👊
What year hellcat motor oil pump do u order it or whats the part number
My respect for your knowledge and advice grows by the view. Thank you sir! Planning on upgrading my 2013 Ram 1500 to Melling HV soon
Absolutely a GREAT Video. “Thank You” for such in-depth info and logic, it is appreciated….
Totally awesome.. much appreciate all your research on this topic. So I read a lot about this topic and on my 2014 Ram 2500 6.4 BGE the oil type mattered as part of my warranty. So Pensoil 0W40 synthetic it came with is the only oil that has been in the engine from day one. I allways change my oil at 30% which is between 7000kms and 11000kms. I worry about idle times so get into a cold truck after 5 minutes...but I have wolverine heating pads on my oil pans with a timer to turn on 2 hours before the truck is started. Living above the 55th parallel I see a lot of Hemi tics and I'll say idle time is number 1 but poor choice of oil and lack of maintenance is proff too. 😊
Sounds like the similar issues that Ford experienced with their 4.6 and 5.4 engines. Senior Ford technicians, like Fordtechmakuloco extended the life of those engines with installing the upgrades lifters, rocker arms and Melling HO oil pump. In addition, the timing chain guides and related components. The installation of this Melling HO oil pump. The engine oil pressure increased slightly, less than 10 psi, but the flow of oil was increased to to the high output of the oil pump. Excellent educational video!
I have a Ram with the 5.7 Hemi so I was very interested in this awesome and informative video. I change oil at 5000 or before and it runs like a top with no unusual noises but I also use a premium engine oil.
Glad you explained difference in High Volume Vs. High Pressure pumps, I've heard those called different like that but did not know why. And seven quarts is a LOT of oil!
Some people don't like the AFM on GM vehicles, they think oil sits in there and bakes since it isn't constantly flowing.
I’m glad I found your channel. I just purchased a 2012 charger ex highway patrol car. It has the lifter noise and misfire. So I’m adding a comp cam and lifter. Along with exhaust mods.
Those are pretty fun cars once you get them sorted! 👍
Thanks for this video!
How long have you been driving with the hellcat oil pump? Any other issues?
Rebuilt my 2008 charger SRT8.... used cam bearings that had oiling trenches " grooves" that led to the oiling hole vs the OEM cam bearings that dont and used new lifters that had oiling holes vs the OEM lifters that don't and put a mellings high volume oil pump in it....
Great video with lots of good information! Thanks Brother!
Thanks for making this video its very educational
Melling High-Volume Oil Pumps M452HV, claimed 20% more volume. I enjoy your videos.
Claimed? So does it or not?
we had this same problem in chevys and we put an eos in with oil change and never had an issue after that. As you mentioned it was usually in engines that had extended idling.
I took your advice in my 05 Jeep and i have been getting that code , will try the resistors
I almost left the first time you said "gallery" instead of galley. I am glad I stayed for your incredible video. You really made excellent points and were very clear and concise.
Gallery is the correct term. A galley is a kitchen on a boat. A gallery is a channel or corridor.
lol same here
Awesome info as always! 💪
Thanks for watching my man, can't wait to see how the 392 Dakota comes out 👍
Thanks again for some amazing information! Keep it up!
Brilliant!!!! You are a real Technician, and are So "Next Level"!!!! Thank you!
Your concerns regarding the oil reminds me of an old 6 cylinder 2 cycle navel diesel. It had a visual oil channel on top of top of the engine. Before starting the engine, you had crank the manual oil pump handle until you see oil running through it. Then, you count 100 cranks before starting the engine. Oh, this engine was so old that they used 6 propane torches that were mounted on a swivel to preheat the cylinder walls. This engine was over 75 years old and had never been rebuilt!
That engine was "built to last" but was also extremely heavy for the amount of power it produced.
I agree . More frequent lof services will do wonders! I worked for years in a dealer service department. Oil life reminders are the worst. People will always push them even further. Oil is cheap! Change it before it tells you to. 3- 5k no excuses!
Thanks for a logical well thought out explanation.
Had a 2014, 1500, work truck with the 5.7 lifter & cam failure at 176,000 miles. It was driven hard by many employees with a poor service record and half it's life was spent idling in the oilfields. I just bpught the 2023 scat pack shaker 6.4, I have already got 9200 miles on it. Hopefully if I keep it one day I can have the motor built with forged pistons, a lot more radical cam & lifters, and some lively tuning ! Nothing too crazy just a step up on the performance ladder. Your videos have been very informative and greatly appreciated.
😊Great info again. I had to replace my cam, lifters and pushrods at 192,000 miles. That was 29,000 miles ago. I had the hemi tick, but when I started having misfires, I took care of the problem in my garage at home. I bought a Hellcat oil pump after listening to the info you provided based on your many years of experience. I too have had the recurring PO524 code despite excellent oil pressure(too good for the ECM). I will follow these instructions so I won’t have to keep deleting this code to use the MDS for my long drives to work. Thank you for all of the info on this topic!
No, but turning the MDS system OFF with a tuner WITHOUT an MDS delete does cause ACCELERATED lifter/cam failure.
The MDS lifter doesn’t get high pressure oil unless the MDS is engaged on the freeway.
IF, you’re idling for long periods AND, you ALSO have the MDS system turned OFF, those MDS lifters NEVER get that high pressure oil flow.
FYI, adding a “HELLCAT” oil pump on a 2012 5.7 HEMI disengages the MDS system due to oil sensor error. Ask me how I know.
I heard you need a HELLCAT oil sensor as well.
Did a 5.7 HEMI Dodge Charger engine rebuild WITH cam/lifter replacement while adding a HELLCAT oil pump.
MDS system was disengaged due to an oil pressure error code. Experienced lifter/cam failure 11 months later!! Not 75k miles later. 10k miles later.
Good luck
No. The MDS lifters get the same oil flow as the non MDS lifters when they are under normal operation with MDS not activated. They just get MORE oil when activated to activate the MDS system.
You should be an instructor, you explained it extremly well. I was a mechanic till 2006,I don't even own anything with Hemi engine but was curious about what you have to say and I'm very impressed with the information and the way you explained everything. Thanks for posting.
Thanks so much for saying that! That's actually my plan is to move into the instructor side of things in a few years. 👍
Once a mechanic, always a mechanic!
Great advice, Thanks for all the info👍
Just wanted to thank you for your help commented on a video way back about cam swap on a hellcat and wanted to verify if I could take the cam out without lifters falling and you said it could be done but be quick with it and it worked exactly like you said and has been running good with that nice chop too 😌
Excellent breakdown and discussion on this issue. I watched your earlier videos where you determined that the HC pump was the way to go which prompted me to order one and install it on my 19 5.7 I just put into my 71 charger. I need to order 2 more, one for my 14 Ram 2500 and one for my 10 Challenger RT.
That's going to be a fun Charger!
I am hoping so!!@@ReignitedAuto
Very educational video. I have a 2020 1320 and I change the oil every 5k/6months, whichever comes first. Oil life tends to be in the single digits at that time. I use the recommended pennzoil too...Hoping for the best. This car is actually my daily driver, with around 10k a year. The only oddity I find is the oil filter weeps a bit. I use the 899 filter and tighten it to spec. I wonder if that happens to anyone else. The engine doesn't use any oil either. I have another year and 9 months of powertrain warranty left though.
Work at Chrysler for few years the 899 filters need to be really tight not to leak. Don’t be afraid to crank it down.
VERY well done...unfortunately it bit our 2013 300C before we could avoid tick but this explains why... thank you!
Thanks for sharing your expertise and honesty with your awesome video. I learned a lot from it and know others will too.
Thank you for watching John!
I did lab samples of QSFS 5w-30 up to 9400 miles and it easily did it. PUP 0w-40, Redline 5w-30, and QSFS 5w-30 should all allow 10K oil changes. My environment is severe interval recommended also. Tuned engine idle up to 800 RPM also so it never goes below 40 PSI now.
Thanks for your advice it makes sense and is a true thing pressure is not more oil flow. 😊
I wish you were close to me, I'd love to let you do some work in my 04 ram 2500 for content on your channel. You've been very informative and helping me keep my truck going. 187,000+ miles and no major problems.
I have a 2013 Dodge Durango Citadel with almost 50k miles. I ordered the Hellcat oil pump as soon as I saw your test results and just installed it. I will go further eventually but I think for now I should be fine. Thank you so much for this incredibly valuable information!
I do have a question. How do you know if the MDS activates? I know it says "ECO" on the cluster's EVIC screen, but that could mean that's what the computer is trying to do? I still see it with normal driving even after the Hellcat oil pump install. I will pay attention to my car's exhaust as it's pretty loud to see the difference in sound and if the MDS is off.
Also, could you link the voltage divider you used?
Converted the 5.7 EZH to an EZC in my '15 300s. Planned to install 6.2 lifters, but they are indeed the same part # as a 5.7. It runs great, and still obtain 22mpg at cruising speeds.
Very nice!
I fixed my lifter issue at 57k miles on my 2015 Ram. I got rid of it quickly. Matter of fact sold my wife’s Chrysler 300. I’m now Mopar free. Never again will a Mopar sit in my yard. Yup that fixed my problem. Good luck guys.
Probably THE best Hemi engine lifter issue video ever done. New FCA engineers should be required to work as this guy’s shop helpers for 30 days when they get hired. Legacy FCA engineers should get 60 days, lolz.
Extremely well done video. Thank you for your insight and research. I learned a lot!
My 2015 Challenger pretty quickly developed the issue and had all the lifters replaced (but not the cam) under warranty in 2017. All this time I thought the newer parts were the cure!
It's worth mentioning that the first failure was at 15K miles and now at 65K, it's still totally silent.
Chrysler =junk
@@tonycolca2241 Certainly not built as good as some but considering the competition, they're worth it to car people. .
About using a heavier oil weight, couldn't the thicker viscosity help protect the lifters? I'm not talking about the oil pressure at all, only the viscosity. The 5w-20 vs 5w-30 debate for the hemi has gone on for awhile, and when leaving out the oil pressure, studies have shown (for example, on projectfarm's channel) that the thicker oil can do a better job at lubricating. I know that there can be problems with the VVT and maybe the MDS with a thicker oil, but just for lubrication, what do you think about running a thicker oil?
Great info! Great diag! Lots of generally applicable mechanical and diagnostic principles to glean from this!!
Excellent video
!! Thank you for showing the basics of the MDS system as it was very helpful. I saw another video with a lot of comments from Dodge technicians saying to switch from 0W 20 to 5 W 30 engine oil. What do you think about this? I was thinking about doing this with my truck as it only has 34,000 km on it and doesn’t make any noise right now but I do live in Canada and have to make sure the truck is warmed up before I go anywhere, especially in the winter. It was -49 here last week, but I always plug my truck in in the winter anyways.I was thinking I could also get an oil pan heater. If I did go to a slightly thicker oil, your opinion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I bought a retired Idaho State Patrol Charger, bought it from a auction, bought it on line. Drove from Washington state, they drove it around and I heard a tick! I pulled the cam out, one lobe was wasted, had another going bad, but it wasn’t the lifter, it was the hardening on the cam wasn’t good! Spinning at 1,000 revolutions per minute, I’m sure the cam lobe started destroying the roller first, then the lifter destroyed the lobe! The one lobe was getting rough, the roller was still pretty good!
Definitely think there was some cam hardening issues!
A most informative video. Nice to know that mds is not the real problem. I change the oil on my 2015 300 hemi at 5000 miles or less and use synthetic oil. I doubt I will go the hellcat oil pump route but it is nice to know there is a preventative procedure available. You explain things thoroughly and clearly. Thanks again.
Appreciate you watching!
MDS still not good. If I want a V8 then I want a V8 all the time. Not a V6 or 4 cylinder. I only get 13 mpg with MDS anyways. I have a 06 2500 power wagon.
@DavidSmith-tu1nd I do think it doesnt make sense in the bigger trucks like that. Problem is that wringing every last ounce of fuel economy out of these engines is the only reason they have lasted as long as they did. EPA mandates are not awesome.
@@ReignitedAuto
Yeah I know epa stuff. Is it possible to mount eagle heads on a 06 engine? My engine is running strong no valve seats have let loose, I known the eagle heads were more efficient.
@@DavidSmith-tu1ndyes you need eagle pushrods, .070 cometic head gasket, new exhaust manifolds and intake manifold
Thank you this helped me greatly. 2014 jeep grand cherokee 5.7L hemi 126k mile number 5 lifter. I did get the hellcat oil pump and swapped the spring.
I finished the assembly today. At 203 degrees it idles with 38psi oil pressure using the hellcat oil pump with the stock oil pump spring inside of it.
Correction. Full temperature after driving for an hour, the oil pressure at idle is 33 psi.
Great video. Learned lots. Very well explained.
I agree with many that the push to thinner and lighter oils is part of the problem. While many will disagree with me, I have found that using a heavier weight oil helps. In fact, I have solved more than a few problems using a heavier weight oil in many cars and trucks. Personally, I use 15W-40 in most of my vehicles and the results have been excellent. 10W-30 is another good choice for many. Whenever an up graded oil pump with more volumn and another 5-15 psi is also a real help.
Both my hemi-powered Mopars are performing flawlessly, with 130K miles on my '12 Challenger R/T w/5.7 hemi & 6 speed manual trans, no leaks, oil usage, or ticking other than normal injector firing noise, same deal with my '14 Chrysler 300C w/5.7 hemi, excellent performance at 91K miles and no "tick" either. I use high quality synthetic oil in all my rigs, it has kept them running very well and change oil & filter @ around 5K miles or 1 year.
Thanks for a great video!
Preventive maintenance is always the best thing to do
Yessir bro I received a lot of information and from it after upgrading to a melling oil pump on my 07 Chrysler 300c srt8 it has ran better with tick and I idle a lot because of my job as a security officer off and on I idle here and there and it runs like a charm so ty for ya great video I love ya videos they has helped me so much 😊😊
I did exactly what this guys has said, I had a failed lifter, and I pulled my motor from a 2013 1500, and I replaced my cam and lifters, put in the srt oil pump, and I deleted mds and put a tune on the truck so it would run without it, and the tick went away and I’ve been driving it for a few months now, and when I cold start my oil pressure is at 80psi, and it just purs
I believe it's a combination of factors. I believe the fundamental design of the block plays a role and the change for VVT took something that was marginal but working to something that started to fail. The oiling from the lifter bores at idle is not going to splash much onto the cam. As RPM goes up the amount of oil from the crank and lifters splashing would go up and be sufficient.
Lots of great info though.
Absolutely 💯
You're bang-on that those oil galleries barely have any effect on oiling of the cam/rollers. They only supply the bores, and I doubt much gets past the lifters.
I suggest oil changes 3000-5000 miles at most, or every 6 months, whichever comes 1st no matter what any factory suggests.....that gives u a chance to inspect the the rest of the engine bay, fluids, suspension, etc and gives u a better idea of what is going on with your vehicle...I think anything above 5000 is asking for problems..great video bro...
Is there any particular oil filters out there that holds more oil or has better filtration?
@@davewoodmancy5124 plenty of options but all my mopars have drove past 250k on mopar filters...
I agree. Although my 12 tsx had 170k the oil changed were done every 6 months or 3k and i used the recommended 0w-20. The engine ran smooth as butter. Most shops say the #1 reason for engine failure is neglect.

Appreciate you guys watching!
Excellent educational video. The only thing I recommend is you expand these discussions by doing 1-2 Live TH-cam sessions so we can all group collaborate in a Live forum. 👍
Hi Sky thanks for the videos. I cannot believe that it took youtube so long to suggest I watch this because this is exactly the type of content that interests me.
You describe yourself but I want to make a suggestion:
You're more than a 10 year Dodge tech you are an enthusiast!
This is an integral part of the American culture missing from the new generations of technicians. Enthusiasm!
Then, sharing your information to other enthusiasts.
One question and concern I want to raise is that I feel lubricants such as motor oils may have somehow taken a step backward. I have experienced lifter failure on my LS7 engine. The roller scuffed on the cam lobe or the roller failed.
The older spec gasoline engine oils may have some slightly higher chance of forming deposits and slight catalytic converter fouling but I am betting the reduction in zinc and other metalic anti-wear additives have diminished the effectiveness of engine oils.
Thanks man!
Thanks for the video. I am curious if you have found any issues with the fit of the lifters in the stock lifter trays, especially in engines that have had the lifter and cam failures.
I am an engine machinist and builder by profession, and while I have only limited experience with Gen III Hemis, I have seen similar on other engines with a lifter retention tray like the Hemis.
I personally have not, no.
