Sorry, long morningInteresting, my HEMI only holds seven quarts, but I've added half an quart more on the last oci.

And so, 6 ounces out of 7 QUARTS (ahem) is 2.7% down. i.e., sump is 97.3% full.
Close enough.
contact them, I think in a lot of cases 5w20 doesnt need vii.Predicament: you have just filled up with HPL Euro no vii 5w-30 but didn't quite have enough quarts to reach the top of the stick. I'm about 2/3 to 3/4 up to the top.
Do you run it "as is" knowing your truck doesn't use a drop of oil to date, and just keep an eye on it,
or do you top up with HPL P+ 0w-30
or do you top up with HPL PCMO 5w-20
In other words, is it better to run a tad lower in the sump or keep it to the top with a slightly different formula/ad pack and weight? The 2 options I have are not euro ad packs and I don't know if I should mix that with the euro no vii.
I'd rather not order another quart as I don't plan to run the no vii in the future, just using up what was on my shelf.
FWIW, it's what I remember from long ago Mobil days as well.contact them, I think in a lot of cases 5w20 doesnt need vii.
Dave from redline is on the record 10w30 and 5w20 their brand no vii.
Sorry, long morning
So time to charge your EV...
In home you have 2 options, level 1 and 2 charger, the fastest level 2 charger top time is 25 miles per hour of charging. The fastest only available at level 3 charging stations is 200 miles per hour, but they acknowledge it is really a half hour, it just takes way more time if you want it actually full charge. I bet a smart Chinese food restaurant will find a way to get a charger, you know how you are hungry 10 minutes after eating Chinese food? Those smarties could get your dumb az to visit their shop 3 times before your "tank" is full. One EV station here is right outside the best taco bell. The new family outing, hey kids lets go fill up the EV and get some taco bell yeah, and play frisbee, and take a walk, and then get an ice cream cone?
Do you know the hardest information to find "officially"? How long to full at a super charger. Yes you can get "hundreds of miles" in 30 minutes, but how long til FULL??? You can easily access that info for level 1 and 2 charging, but "they" really don't want you to have that info for level 3 chargers.
Unofficially they say this...
How long does it take to charge a Tesla electric vehicle (EV) from empty to full at a supercharger station. As a rule of thumb, it takes about 4 minutes to add 10% energy to a Model 3 LR battery up to 80%. It takes about 10 minutes to get from 80% to 90%, and about 20 minutes to get from 90% to 100%.
Free cookie who anyone who finds an official estimate to charge an EV at a super charger.
Wait for this one guys, another new thing, are you ready???
Idle Fees, lol.
So if you leave your EV plugged in too long, idle Fees start racking up after 5 minutes, lol.
You eerd me, idle Fees.
.or every additional minute a vehicle remains connected to the Supercharger, it will incur an idle fee. If the vehicle is moved within five minutes, the fee is waived. Idle fees only apply when a Supercharger station is at 50% capacity or more. Idle fees double when the station is at 100% capacity.
Mike these pesky facts are irrelevant because EVs are "green".In addition to the direct charging fees, Tesla may also impose an Idle Fee should your vehicle linger in its station after being fully charged. In the U.S., Tesla charges 50 cents per minute for cars that idle when the station is more than 50% full. This doubles to $1 per minute then the station is completely full.
Go get Chinese food, get a 25 dollar charge for the electricity and 20 bucks for idle Fees.
Well carp...I just changed my oil and put in 7 gallons...sounded funny, but, I figured "well...these are the go to guys, so......"Then again, I can't tell the difference between a quart and a gallon anymore.
Watch the oil fountain out the breather.Well carp...I just changed my oil and put in 7 gallons...sounded funny, but, I figured "well...these are the go to guys, so......"
holy hellWonder it they still think battery is the future :O News in Sweden says Ford Loosing $127.185 per EV, How can that be possible from a company that's been around for 100+ years :O
Ford Cuts Battery Orders as EV Losses Top $100,000 Per Car - BNN Bloomberg
Ford Motor Co. has begun cutting orders from battery suppliers to stem growing electric-vehicle losses, according to people familiar with the matter, as it throttles back ambitions in a rapidly decelerating market for plug-in models.www.bnnbloomberg.ca
Nope.Did you have any piston slap on cold startups in the winter? My only worry about 5w in the winter is if I get sent up to the U.P., northern MN or ND for work.
I know the wifes 6.4 in her Challenger is happier on 5W-30 Redline then it was on PUP 0W-40 and Lube Gard.It doesn't get much winter use here in Alberta,but i have had to start it and use it a couple times at -20C and it's never had any piston slap with either PUP or Redline,but the lifters would rattle a bit on a cold start with PUP 0W-40,but they're dead quiet with 5W-30 RedlineNope.
none. Zero
Redline 5w30 started just as quite as Amsoil SS 0W40.
I would run do it with any other 5w30 tho. Not in my 6.4. She can be a picky girl.
Long, long time ago, we found out on this thread that the 6.4 was actually tested with 5w30 in it. The 0w40 call out, specifically PUP, was a plug for their friends at shell.
Not sure what you have been told or what you know so pardon my ignorance from bringing absent, but PUP0W40 shears down to basically a 30W after 500-1000 miles. At least it used to. Not sure if its still like that. I dont keep up any more. The GTL base oils frequently cause more engine noise.I know the wifes 6.4 in her Challenger is happier on 5W-30 Redline then it was on PUP 0W-40 and Lube Gard.It doesn't get much winter use here in Alberta,but i have had to start it and use it a couple times at -20C and it's never had any piston slap with either PUP or Redline,but the lifters would rattle a bit on a cold start with PUP 0W-40,but they're dead quiet with 5W-30 Redline
Have you tried running 1/2 a quart extra? It completely solved that problem for me. No foam/bubbles on the dip stick eitherOne thing I have noticed with my Ram (5.7) is if I park it on an angle, that is when it'll tick. So when I do park it nose down, I give it full throttle and crank it, ECU stops it from starting. Crank it for about 3-5sec, and then stop cranking, then start it normally. No tick.
