Welcome. I'm sure you'll find no shortage of ways to spend money, I mean make your truck better through this forum.
But seriously, lots of good info here.
The data I have seen on the 57060XP is 99% at 35 microns, the regular 57060 is 99% at 23 microns.
The synthetic media and larger micron rating gets them the longer change interval and higher capacity for debris, but it pays the price in filtration.
AMSOIL does not spec a filter because there...
Looks like a great UOA report, I short trip daily and can make it to 15k easily if you're so inclined to run farther between changes.
What oil filter are you running?
I've published a few videos on my AMSOIL usage to youtube.
Welcome. I'm sure you'll find all the information here you need.
As for cost of maintenance, you can certainly save a pretty penny doing it yourself. Take a look around, there's plenty of sources for OEM and aftermarket filters.
All the wording I see says "meets the needs of" not "certified to MS-12633" To me, that means it is NOT approved by Chrysler/Stellantis. These official certifications are a huge cost for companies, especially for such a small volume.
AMSOIL can be had for less than Schaeffers and it still had life left in it after 12k miles, even if you change at 10k miles that's a huge savings over time. Neither one is officially approved by Stellantis to meet the MS standards, they are just designed to meet/exceed it. Another added benefit...
If they kept the gearing the same as the 6.4 8HP, then the axle ratio would actually have to go to a 3.55 to keep the final drive the same.
The ZF isn't impossible to service, the packaging in the 1500's certainly didn't make it any easier though. Yes, changing the filter requires replacing the...
At one point, the VIN lookup utility was wildly inaccurate, then it was accurate, it may be inaccurate again...I don't know.
I stand by what I said, find the GCWR and then go off of the stickers on your truck and math the rest of it out.
Sometimes the manufacturers include a set amount for hitch weight, a single driver and possibly the commercial safety kit. Other times they will include the options which are included on a certain percentage of the trucks that are built.
It can be messy... I would recommend using the lookup...
Max towing is GCWR minus the curb weight of the truck. Keep in mind that anything you put in the truck also subtracts from your max towing, you, the weight of your hitch, your lunch, etc. etc.
You're probably better off starting a thread with all the specs of your truck, what you intend to use...
