Only 3/4 ton rams have the 6.4 for towing, but it is not 485 hp, does still require the $$$oil and filter. That’s why I put STANDARD ! ....what is the power rating ? .... and $$$$ oil and filter??! 410 hp, you must use pennzoil ultra platinum srt oil, and a mopar filter for your warranty. If the dealer changes your oil either bring the oil with you, or make them write, 7 qts pennzoil ultra platinum 0w-40 oil on the receipt, do not take the car until they do. Will be about $100. Srt, hellcats, 6.4 trucks, maybe others, thats the only approved oil.

That’s why I put STANDARD ! ....what is the power rating ? .... and $$$$ oil and filter??! 410 hp, you must use pennzoil ultra premium srt oil, and a mopar filter for your warranty. If the dealer chamges your oil either bring the oil with you, or make them write, 7 qts pennsoil ultra premium 0w-40 oil on the receipt, do not take the car until they do. Will be about $100. Srt, hellcats, 6.4 trucks, maybe others, thats the only approved oil. Don't take this the wrong way but that "you must use.........for your warranty (paraphrase, "or void warranty") is BS by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. If a manufacture makes it mandatory that you can only service your vehicle with their or specific products or void your warranty then they must supply those products (or services) FREE OF CHARGE. Yes they can make you use products that are of a specific specification but you the consumer can use any product (brand) that meets or exceeds those manufacture specification(s).

But B13 ... R2 did post that pic of the rear splash shield ..., you’d have poke a hole through it ! Doc that's even better for hiding the fact that you have a hitch (note the deletion of the word "trailer" ) Would be very easy to make a removable cap to cover that small square hole. The factory puts covers over a lot of their vehicles to hide the hitches. It's a no brainer IMO to put your hitch on YOUR car.

Ok, last I heard no other oil company has an oil that meets those exact specs.

So the reason for this specific oil is ?
And if this oil is not available other than at a Mopar dealer and a comparable oil isn’t available in the open market ....
It’s FREE from FCA ??!! Amazon $80 with filter shipped to your door, and it looks like amsoil has finally had theirs approved also, so no free oil.

Man IS THIS a helleva SPIN OFF off a hitch topic ! Okay Doc back to the hitch and with a 6.4 Hemi..........it is available again in 2020 on a Durango SR/T with a 6.4 and a factory option.......as for a cover for your car the one on the back of this SR/T would work and it may be available over the counter in your car's color too?

I’m here B13 !
NOT that I suspect something is wrong with the car ... but laying out almost 40 large on a new car and then taking a chance on killing a decent warranty over something like this that won’t be used much is giving me second thoughts.
I got an email from a member that said if there’s a warranty claim on something like any type of drive train item and FCA can reverse it ... they will ! ... that’s scary! That 8 speed trans is no simple 727 !!
That's pretty much a fact... just check all the modern car forums. I'm pretty sure we lost our motor warranty the very 1st year... We bought the car in may or june... wife drove it a little, then I got sick again. So we put the car in the garage, and didn't pull it out again until the following april... with only a few thousand miles on it. I got the oil changed soon after we pulled it out of the garage in 2019... but it was over a year. Apparently it says in the manual that the oil MUST be changed every 6000miles OR 6-months whichever comes 1st. (392/Hellcat) And guys like me, who store fun cars all winter are already being denied (fighting it) because they didn't change it every 6-months Even if it was only driven 5miles to get to and from the dealer during those 6months.... It's Horse___ .... But the way they roll these days... once everything is forwarded up the ladder to Corp.
