2004 SRT 10 with 1926 miles on it

[mhackett]

I just got this truck, I want to change the oil and transmission fluid. I'm going to put Mobil 1 in it. But A I have seen some guys say up to 10qts then others say 8.5.. what is it? also tranny fluid what should go back in it?

8.5 in the pan. The last 1.5 you pour on top the engine to keep it from getting corroded.

Thank you Sir..

Actually I use my leftover 1.5 Qts in my lawn mower. It's 18 yrs old and seems to like the good stuff.

What do you run in yours?

 

[trussman]

Royal purple 10 30. 8.5 Qts. Mobile 1 is fine. Used it for the first 4 or 5 years. Got royal purple on sale once and just felt different and seemed quieter (to me) so I kept on. Also running RP atf in my manual transmission.

mine is noisy, the truck has been babied. RP? I see a lot of guys running red line d4 synthetic transmission fluid.. But its for a automatic ?? thats ok?

 

[trussman]

Yeh. Auto Trans fluid is fine. It'll make the Trans noisier but shifts way better especially in winter. RP (royal purple )

I wouldn't personally. I've always heard from others the best bet is k&n drop in filter in the factory box. The hood scoop is a negative air pressure area. Many hood scoops have been sucked out and lost on the highway.

I try not to drive mine in rain but have been forced to a time or two in the last couple of years. Also imho the jtsvp shifter is a great plus.

I have k&n intake but only bc I got it off of a friend for $50. Sounds cool and looks ok but no real gains.

Waste of $$$. Cancel if you can. The opening in the hood is not meant to be an air intake.

What should I have got then?

K&N flat or diesel cone drop in for your stock box.
