The oil fill cap should have the oil weight on it. Mine says 5w-20

MDS requires 5w20, and as far as I know, your truck is MDS.

seeing how you are in Iceland
 .... it may be worth trying to find some 0-20. The only difference is it has better cold weather benefits, like a lower cold pour point ____________________________________________________________________________ 06'-Ram-Hemi-Pearl Black-Magnaflow-AEM CAI-Diablo CMR Tuned By Mike W. @ tuningsuperstore.com 06'-Magnum R/T-Hemi-Pearl Black-Magnaflow-Diablo Tuned Ram in Action       Only 2 defining forces have ever offered to die for you....

0w-20 will not affect the MDS in fact that is why it was made. Can you not order Amsoil???

what ever you do, do NOT run 0-40..... the "40" is too "heavy" for MDS. ____________________________________________________________________________ 06'-Ram-Hemi-Pearl Black-Magnaflow-AEM CAI-Diablo CMR Tuned By Mike W. @ tuningsuperstore.com 06'-Magnum R/T-Hemi-Pearl Black-Magnaflow-Diablo Tuned Ram in Action Only 2 defining forces have ever offered to die for you....
