please vote only if you have a 4.7

I want to see how many of our members have had sludge and prove to our non 4.7 durango owner that the 4.7 isnt a sludge motor.

if the 4.7 is a sludge motor then atleast one of our members should have been hit by it.

The 4.7 doesn't have sludge issues, but many people say it does because of the milky shit that accumulates in the oil cap. That stuff isn't sludge, once it falls down into the oil pan, the minute amout of water that is in there evaoprates. Sludge is caused by bad oil and/or poor maintinence and some engine are more prone to buildup due to design.

Shit, I've never even had that milky stuff in my cap. Clean as a whistle after 140K miles!

I use Mobile 1 full synthetic and change it EVERY 3001 miles. Mopar filters are sold at Wal-Mart too!

I do tend to run through a tank of gas quickly though.

I've been using the one from the 302, I think Fram p/n PH8a? Yes it does help, adds a bit more oil to the engine, and as stated sticks down further.

I believe its also Napa Gold oil filter p/n 1515. Book says use Napa gold 1085 on our trucks. 1515 is exact same size only about 2 inches longer.

Yeah, I always forget the other p/n's. The PH-8A always has a few replacement p/n's listed in the little book at the oil filter aisle. FWIW, I hate the Fram stuff & will take anything but their brand. Just don't ever tell a parts store employee that you're using an oil filter from a 5.0 on a 4.7. They will do their damndest to not sell it to you. I think it's part of the conditioning they go through!!
