10W40 oil instead of 5W40

I'm having a hard time finding decently priced 5W40 oil that meets MS-10902 over here in the UK. The only one I found in stock is Liqui Moli and two 5 litre jugs cost the equivalent of 250 USD.

However, I found some Ravenol oil that meets the MS-10902 spec but it's 10W40 instead of 5W40. Has anybody run 10W40 in their Ecodiesels?

These guys say that 10W40 might be better for high mileage diesel WK2 but they're from Australia so their Jeeps probably don't have to deal with low temps? https://gdlauto.com.au/recommended-oils-and-filters-for-wk2-ecodiesel-grand-cherokee-owners/

Leaking oil from this banjo?

2022 Eco 1500, happened to poke my head under for a different reason and noticed this leak. Only 85k on the clock.

I'm assuming this is the oil feed line? Any one have experience with replacing this or though i try the crush washers first?

2015 Ram 1500 Eco-diesel delete

My truck recently says “exhaust filter 100% full see dealer” and has had reduced throttle response and significantly lower power. The truck only books for 4500 wholesale and I’m very much wanting to just delete it. I already have the egr cooler delete kit and straight pipe but am lost at what tuner to get. I’ve done so much research and feel that mrtuning Canada is the best option for me. Can anyone give me some guidance through all this? Most of these tuner websites seem like a scam and won’t lead to anywhere but trouble. My uncle has a 6.4 ford that has a minimaxx tuner that came with it when he bought it and he told me to get one so I did (my dumbass didn’t do any research and trusted him) and it seems that minimaxx is a scam and went out of business in 2014. I’m starting to feel hopeless as all of this happened as I’m trying to move states. I am in the United States if you couldn’t tell already but it seems mrtuning delivers to the US.

Bought a 2015 ram 1500 laramie with an eco diesel. Question about fluids and maintenance

Ive got a couple questions

As for transmission fluid, can I use the valvoline restore and protect atf fluid?

As for motor oil, what is everyone's recommendation? Is there anything like valvolines restore and protect?

And the last question is what kind of additives should I put? I know i need to put anti gel in the winter. But is there anything that is like the gasoline engine fuel system cleaners?

EGR cooler delete.

I have a deleted and tuned 2014 Jeep 3.0l CRD with roughly 72k km (or 45k freedom units), deleted at roughly 60k (deleted at around 35k miles), I'm looking to do a stage 2 delete and use block off plates for the EGR valves and the cooler. The problem I'm having is I can't seem to find a stage 2 for the Jeep platform of the Ecodiesel. I want the stage 2 as I'm 99% sure my EGR cooler is leaking, and since it's a deleted diesel, it's better to just delete it than replace. Has anyone here found a kit that works for the WK2s? I'm in Canada, if that matters.

Regen

In 110,000 miles, I have NEVER gotten this message. I know it’s done Regens, but it’s never told me. Was there a software update where it shows up now? Or does it mean something else?

Considering 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel

I am in the market for a vehicle, I am looking into a 2014 JGC EcoDiesel. I see lots of negatives on them but am wondering if I did an EGR & DPF delete with a proper tune on it, potentially the banks monster exhaust, upgraded the oil cooler and did a cold air intake, are some of these things that will actually extend the life of the vehicle and hopefully help prevent some of the more common issues they seem to have? Also help improve fuel mileage to some extent? Has anyone done this combination of things to a JGC? What was your experience?

On way to delete/tune and engine light came on

Just crossed the 100k mile mark w a 3rd gen ecodiesel and im on my way to get the truck tuned.

After fueling up, the check engine light came on - i was going to have it tuned tomorrow morning.

Pulled over and going to have it looked at by closest dealership tomorrow.

No messages or codes.

Not sure what to do except get it looked at, any advice would be helpful.

Crank no start issue

I recently got a stage 2 eoc tune. Not blaming tune just giving information. When the truck has been sitting and is cold it won’t start. I hit the brake and press the start button and you can hear fuel pump prime and all that it just won’t start unless I take the starting relay out and jump the pins and then it starts no problem. I don’t have a check engine light. If the truck is warm it will start no problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please help

Deleted my Jeep gladiator ecodiesel about a week ago seemed fine was running good. Yesterday I gassed it a little hard launched it up to 4k rpm when the turbo made a loud screeching noise like in the video now every time it goes up to 3k rpm it makes that noise. Today it made the noise again then went into limp mode giving me a p0299 code and said to service throttle body. Does any one know what it could be.

When changing the fuel filter..

How do you all deal with all the diesel that spills everywhere? I've tried draining it beforehand but I can't figure out how to do that. And then I have no idea what to do with the quarter so that comes out of the housing because I can't mix it with oil or turn it in anywhere.

Need help debunking sound

Above is 2 clips from different povs, when driving a noise (the one in the clips) starts at about 5mph and it gets louder the faster u go, when u let off the gas its loud but when u put throttle itll quiet down a bit. Its a 2021 ram 1500 ecodiesel, at first it sounded like a scraping noise in the back so I had thought it was the rear brakes and I changed that then went onto change the rear differential fluid. But now after further checking and hearing it doesnt no where seem like it would be that. Was planning on moving to transfercase or something, i dunno what to do.
