thanks for the fast answer, to all, well im from mexico and the dealer put 5w30 in the 2010 truck, and for my truck i think im gona use the 10w30, here the temp dont go lower to 10 celsius, right now is 26 c° somthing like 32f°, but is a hot place in summer heat up to 40c°, im gona take the pictures of the stickers to see what you tink about itThe first gen 4.7L (what you have) was supposed to run on 30 weight (5w30 or 10w30 will work). The first number just means that it will flow at that cold of a temp (5w30 flows down to 5 deg where as 10w30 only flows down to 10 deg). I'd use 5w30 if possible. If not then 10w30 should be fine. I agree that unless you are consuming a lot of oil then don't use the 40 weight oil, that sticker was probably put on due to you being in a different (hotter...maybe?) region and whoever put it there may have not known for sure what they were doing/thinking.
With your dad's 2010.... the second gen 4.7L (what he has) calls for 20 weight, so I'd run a 5w20 (that's what's in mine).
If it makes you feel better I just double checked in the database I have access to and for a 2002 ram 1500 with 4.7L it calls for 5w30. For a 2010 dodge ram 1500 with 4.7L it calls for 5w20.
In short....the oil caps are correct...
And your English is muy bien!
i dont think so, because my truck have it and is a 2002 4.7, and my dads truck have it and is a 2010 5.7. im in the process of make a tread about this things, becasue here in mexico is not the same. im gonna take the pictures of the 2 stickers, and if someone tellme how to upload a picture i can show you how the owners manual say to use 5w-20 or 15w40 in the 2010 hemi. :4-looney:Maybe the multiple stickers has something to do with the 5.2 and 5.9 magnum engines being offered in 02's model year?
The sticker is likely put on by the dealer or whatever other local seller had the vehicle. They probably put it on all their trucks. They probably have certain stickers they put on certain vehicles based on THEIR discretion. You should follow the engine cap, the owners manual, and other reliable manuals (like what I provided which is from amsoil's directory).i dont think so, because my truck have it and is a 2002 4.7, and my dads truck have it and is a 2010 5.7. im in the process of make a tread about this things, becasue here in mexico is not the same. im gonna take the pictures of the 2 stickers, and if someone tellme how to upload a picture i can show you how the owners manual say to use 5w-20 or 15w40 in the 2010 hemi.
thanks again snrusnak, i understand what you say, but why the owners manual of a 2010 5.7 truck says to use 15w-40, thats why i gonna start the new tread.The sticker is likely put on by the dealer or whatever other local seller had the vehicle.

thats from the 2002 4.7 owner manual, and this is from the 2010 dodge ram 5.75w30 or 10w30 will be fine. I'd use 5w30 though. I don't see it referencing 15w40 at all though.
