Averaging between 13.5 - 14.5 in town, around 16 - 18 on the highway doing no more than 65mph. Those numbers are with E10 gasoline; non-blended 87 gets me about a mile better to the gallon approx.

Should I go back to 20?? It's synthetic...suggestions..
I thought I'd read somewhere that it will use approx. 1 qt / 1,000 - 1,500 miles, or thereabouts? But personally, I'm still using 5W20.

No, my issue was a single ding/knock during cold starts. After a lot of discussion, we found out it was possibly a bad anti-drainback valve on the oil filter. Went back to using Mopar filters and haven't had an issue since.

It's not out of the bodyshop yet. Tailgate's getting painted tomorrow, so hopefully, tomorrow. She's getting ancy already . I have a Teraflex leveling kit waiting to go on - probably do that the same time that I put Rubi coils and shocks on
