Dodge Ram - OIL?

[Pagey]

I'm currently car sitting a workmates Ram whilst he is working abroad, doing fluids checks this morning - it needs topping up with oil.

By the oil cap is states 5w20 tried local motor factors and halfords today neither stock it, anyone know where I can get some or which is best to use?

TIA

Just chuck some 5w 30 in it. It'll be fine.

Yes or semi However if whats in it looks or smells nasty or no one knows when it was last changed It would be a good idea to change it and the filter old oil sitting in an unused or little used engine hardens seals which causes oil leaks and high oil consumption...
