2017 Ram 150 Hemi pressure
I just had the ram serviced for the second time.
Lock the first I told them to only put 6 quarts in it
and I will add the other quart of Lucas. Not
realizing or just being an idiot! I did not check the
dipstick to begin with. As I was adding to Lucas I
checked the dipstick and it was already on the do
not fill line. Is this going to hurt my Ram they told
me as long as I do not drive it hundreds of miles I
will be okay. Just seems like it doesn't have the
power it did when I dropped it off.

I would remove a quart of oil. A suction pump with a small diameter suction tube can remove oil through the dipstick tube.
Why add stuff to the oil in a new engine? There is no need, just use a quality synthetic oil.

I do not think you need the Lucas. But Yes you need to drain that quart off, either with a fluid extractor threw the dipstick tube or drain plug, do not continue to drive it until you do so, some small oil change shops have a fluid extractor.

Lucas is super thick, if you were burning oil maybe but other-wise A whole quart OMG.
If your 2017 truck is burning oil you have a warranty!
Well to all of u that has told me that I don't need Lucas in my 2017 Hemi1500 4x4.... iv called Lucas oil company and also asked the Dodge dealership. Both said it would not cause any problems. As most of u know half of the Hemi' s rattle when u start and the other half didn't! But that's why I got the extend warranty and also the extend Master Tech warrnty

I am sure it hurt Lucas's pocket since your buying from them nor the dealer that gets paid when you bring it in for servicing, they both get paid. We do not get paid to answer these questions and we do not know each other,never meet nor conspire to make money off the public. I agree this time with it mix in you other oil and timely oil changes in the future to get it out and do not use until about 150k miles may be fine but even just using it this time may mean that you stay on the lucas life support system as the the thick goo will rob your engine of vital oil to once tighter clearence main bearing so a little rattle in the top end to scorched mains in the bottom end. We have no incentive to point you away from Lucas engine oil treatment but both Lucas and your dealer do have incentive to say its fine use more if you wish, its called money. Do as you wish, but remember we told you our opinion.

As you ask us we did not sit on a shelf and get picked into the buggy to prolong a truck engine marketed to unlearned buyers. Your best bet is too get it out and just use Full synthetic oil, like Mobile 1. No you do not need the extended oil or High Mileage its new and stay away from gimmicks in a bottle, Slick 50 or others. Only one I care for is Lubegard.
