Guide to Your RAM 1500 Oil Change

Because RAM 1500 trucks have powerful hauling, towing, and off-roading capabilities, maintaining good quality engine oil is super important. And since RAMs are stronger than any other pickup, they need the best servicing and regular oil changes so you can rely on them to get the job done. Oil helps by lubricating engine parts, regulating heat, cleaning the engine, and preventing corrosion. If you want your RAM 1500 to be effortlessly forceful, visit us at i.g. Burton CDJRF of Milford regularly for an oil change.

Changing your oil regularly is crucial to keeping your 1500's engine in good shape. Oil collects dirt and debris over time, which can damage your engine if left for an extended period of time. Clean oil reduces engine friction in the engine parts. Smoother engine operation can also improve your truck's fuel efficiency. Overall engine performance, including cooling and lubrication processes, improves with fresh oil and delivers more power when towing large loads. However, the most significant benefit of regular oil changes is an extended engine life due to less daily wear and tear. Maintaining a healthy engine helps you avoid irreversible engine damage or failures that will be expensive to repair later.

RAM 1500 trucks should always be serviced with synthetic oils to protect your engine's longevity. The exact synthetic oil type for your RAM 1500 will depend on the engine that your model has. For example, the 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine takes 0W-20 synthetic oil while the 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 takes 5W-40 full synthetic oil. Our mechanics are RAM experts, so they'll be able to get you the right oil with no trouble. Don't trust amateurs with your truck's engine, and instead visit the service center at i.g. Burton CDJRF of Milford to get quality service you can trust.

Why do RAM 1500s need frequent oil changes? Due to pickup trucks' heavy-duty engines and various work uses, 1500 owners should get regular oil changes to ensure smooth vehicle operation. How often you'll need an oil change varies depending on your typical driving habits, like mileage or road conditions. Generally, you'll want to bring your truck in for service every 5,000 to 7,500 miles for commuting and light hauls, every 4,000 to 5,000 miles for occasional towing and off-road use, or every 3,000 to 4,000 miles for heavy-duty workloads or extreme temperatures. However, best practice recommends changing your oil every six months, even if you don't hit these mile markers, to prevent oil contamination and extend engine life.
