Oil Thread - 6.4 Hemi

Oil change day

7.5qt of Redline 0w40 and a Ford Racing Filter....I know it sounds crazy, but the fl820 is the size/rating the 6.4 hemi in the cars calls for. There is a SRT filter available, but it's made in Poland. Went with the Ford racing that's Made in USA. Plenty of room for the big filter, if you like Fram filters the XG2 is probably the best option there. I think the Ford racing edges out all the others in this size. The "long" version of the factory filter is also a great choice, a lot of ram 1500 guys using it. If you research it the fl820 size ia difficult to install on the 1500s. So they have settled for the long filter. This was the standard size for all hemis at one time. In my opinion Ram cheaped out and made all the trucks use the tiny filter to save money.

I look forward to your opinions on a Ford filter on a Ram haha.

Man that's bad karma in my book.

As long as it meets the filtration spec and doesn't affect pressures or flows, I doubt it will matter much that it's a Ford product. Be sure to report back with any issues.

Send it. There is a big motorcraft filter that fits on 4.0 jeeps, too.
