How often to change the oil in your Ram
Mopar's guidance for newer Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles: change the oil and filter when the "Oil Change Due" message appears, within the next 500 miles. Under normal driving most vehicles average around 7,500 miles between changes, and you should never go past 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. On the Ram 2500 and 3500, the gas HEMI and the Cummins diesel have their own limits, so follow the schedule in your owner's manual for your engine.
Mopar lists the driving habits that shorten the interval:
- Frequent stop-and-go city driving or long periods of idling
- Towing or hauling heavy loads
- Driving in extreme heat or cold, or on dusty or dirty roads
- Hilly or mountainous terrain
For a Ram, towing and hauling are the big ones; that is the driving the severe-service schedule in your owner's manual is written for.
Which oil your Ram takes
Mopar says most modern Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles require synthetic oil. The exact oil depends on your model year, engine and platform: the Technical Specifications section of your owner's manual lists the viscosity, the oil specification approvals and the oil capacity. Owner's manuals are on Mopar.com's owner information page.
The two numbers on a bottle, such as 0W-20, are the cold-temperature viscosity (the W number) and the viscosity at operating temperature. Use the viscosity your manual specifies, don't mix viscosities, and make any switch during a full oil change. Look for the API "starburst" and "donut" symbols, and replace the filter with every change.
Mopar Express Lane uses Pennzoil motor oil, including Pennzoil synthetic. Our guide to conventional vs. synthetic oil explains the difference.
Diesel trucks are different: the Cummins 6.7-liter turbo diesel in a Ram 2500 or 3500 follows the schedule in your owner's manual for that engine, and diesel oil changes are priced separately from gas oil changes. The specials box shows any diesel special running now, with its terms.
Ram oil change FAQ
How often should I change the oil in my Ram?
On the Ram 1500, change it when the Oil Change Due message appears, within 500 miles, and never past 10,000 miles or 12 months. Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks have their own limits for the gas HEMI and the Cummins diesel, and towing or hauling shortens the interval; your owner's manual has the schedule.
Do you do Cummins diesel oil changes?
Yes. We service the Cummins 6.7-liter turbo diesel in the Ram 2500 and 3500, including diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). The specials box on this page shows any diesel oil change special running now.

Yes. Trailer-brake setups are part of the Ram service we do, along with the Cummins diesel, diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) and emissions systems.
