1:32 now that is a man right there. The hand full of hot oil and he didn't even budge 😂. Good job and great video on the truck, bro 👌🏻

Why do u use 5w30 they update it to 5w40. I would use rotella t6.

There are actually three generations of the Ecodiesel engine from VMI. First generation was in Europe only, designed in partnership with GM. 2007 to 2013, but it was never really utilized. It is very important to use the correct oil, the 5W30 is NOT the right oil, the manufacturer put out a bulletin in July 2016 that switched it to 5W40. There was an unsettling number of main bearing failures associated with the use of the 5W30 oil, and it was blamed on the thin viscosity of the 5W30. That number was drastically reduced after the change to 5W40. Second gen 2014 to 2019 the engine, VM Motori L630, was available in the Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee. Odd fact: the Maserati Ghibli and Quattrosporte both had a trim level with the same engine, not called the Ecodiesel. Oil for this engine needed to be 5W40 fully synthetic and meet the CJ-4 spec. FCA recommended Material Standard MS-10902, that meets the API CJ-4 or CK-4 standard. Most owners used the Rotella T6 5W40 that met the CJ-4 specifications, because it was a decent price, and probably more importantly, you could readily find it at places like Walmart and other local stores. Third gen was 2020 to Jan 2023, again available in Jeep applications, and the Ram 1500. Oil for this engine is 5W40 and needs to meet the MS-12991 (API SP) specifications. The oil most users are selecting is the Quaker State Euro Full Synthetic 5W40 (NOT "full synthetic diesel"). Pennzoil Platinum 5w40 Euro also meets these standards. There is a list out there with about 25 oils on it, but I don't know about the validity of them, I just know the two listed above do in fact meet the standard. It is extremely important to use the right oil, you need to meet the emission standards but even more importantly, this type of oil has control for sulfated ash, phosphorous, and other sulfur content, and the change in viscosity protects the main bearings as recommended by the manufacturer. Rotella T6 is not recommended for the third gen Ecodiesels due to an increased risk of turbo coking, and a rather high ZDDP content in the T6 (and the CJ-4/CK-4 oils). The really crappy thing for Gen 3 owners is the oil filter. The Gen 2 was expensive, which was just a filter element, and it was really annoying to spend 15 to 50 bucks (depending on type of filter). They replace the cap and the filter element now, and the dealership wants 75 to 120 dollars for a filter that very likely costs less than 10 dollars total, both parts, to manufacturer. I couldn't find a Fram or major brand filter anywhere, for any price, online or in person. I didn't want to buy one of the weird "no name" brand filters for 30 bucks. Best price on the actual Mopar filter was from Diesel Filters Online, for 66 bucks roughly (includes shipping costs). Took about 5 days to get it shipped USPS. It is very frustrating because there's no way that filter costs more to make than traditional one piece metal sleeve filters where you replace the entire unit, but those metal ones averaged 6 to 10 bucks. Back to the main topic, will it make a difference to use a different oil? Provided it is the 5W40 oil meeting at least the CJ4 spec (Rotella T6 for instance), opinions vary, but most agree that it would be very unlikely to have coking, and that the high ZDDP content wouldn't cause issues unless the engine were seeping oil and/or old seals. But using the 5W30 is really not recommended. It is great that the owner of this particular truck uses the 5W30 and has never had issues, but sometimes issues exist that you aren't even aware of until it is too late. Anyone changing out oil in their Ecodiesel engine needs to use the recommended 5W40 that their particular engine calls for, defined by whether it is gen 2 or gen 3.

Please only use mobile or shell diesel oil the conditioner and cleaner in penzoil is not enough for diesel engines even do penzoil is made by shell oil company it’s not the best idea to test it

There has been a change for the recommended oil type in the Eco Diesel, see TSB 18-078-16. They are now calling for a 5w40 synthetic diesel motor oil. I would be concerned as Eco Diesels like to spin bearings... hence the change...

Wrong oil weight 5w40
