This is why i will not change my own oil on a vehicle under warrenty. It does not mater who's engine it is somtimes they blow up and i want to make sure its the dealers problem and not mine. The oil may have had nothing to do with it but now the warrenty has been voided.
2015 ecodiesel with blown motor at 14,000 mies
I bought a new 2015 Ecodiesel six months ago and at 14,000 miles the motor has a real load knock when I was driving on highway. I had it towed to the dealer that I bought it from, and the tech said the motor is toast. Ram won't cover warranty because after doing a little research, we found out the that won't cover warranty (I bought the extended warranty) due to the wrong oil in motor. I bought the oil from other Ram dealer, gave them my VIN # and they gave us the filter and 2.5 gallons of oil. They're receipt has my VIN # on it, they gave me 15w-40 should've been 5w-30. Any advice? Lawyer up? Anyone else heard about this problem? Will different oil blow a motor in 4000 miles after change?
