I know using the proper weight in them is important but synthetic, regular oil, is any brand preferred or anything to avoid?


Any engine that has been out awhile with millions of units in service will have a few that fail.
I have almost 340,000 miles on my 2007 Ram 5.7 and I use regular 5w20. NO synthetic, no blends, just straight, conventional oil and a WIX or Mopar filter.
