DEF really has nothing to do with oil. My DEF equipped truck OLM usually calls for an oil change around 7000 miles.

Yours in not a RAM!!!! Non DEF RAM 6.7's had super short oil change calls on the EVIC. Chris

OK, so tell us all what happens when your RAM truck squirts DEF in the exhaust system that has an effect on the oil in the engine. :h

Nice attempt at being snarky when you don't know what you're talking about........

So I ask how the DEF has an effect on motor oil (it doesn't) and, instead of coming up with an intelligent answer, you have nothing to add but a condescending remark. Sad but typical.

Sir, he was correct...The pre-DEF Rams had lots of Regens going on...that causes extra fuel in the cylinders post ignition which causes fuel to wash down the cylinders and mix with the oil. You might want to do some reading before you are quick to dismiss the info.

How about that! Now try to learn that Diesel Exhaust Fluid has NOTHING to do with regens. It is injected into the exhaust to reduce NOx. The extra fuel is used to burn out the DPF. Oh, and welcome to the condescending club.
