Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I change the oil in my 2016 Ram 1500?The manufacturer’s published schedule calls for changing the engine oil every 10,000 miles.

The oil filter is also scheduled for replacement every 10,000 miles. Oil gradually loses its ability to carry heat and debris even when it does not look especially dirty. Driving conditions such as towing, dusty roads, and frequent stop-and-go use can make timely maintenance especially important.

  • Oil filter replacement: every 10,000 miles

Why does my 2016 Ram 1500 need regular oil changes?Regular oil changes help replace oil that has lost additive performance and the ability to carry heat and debris.

Engine oil can require service by mileage and time rather than appearance because dark oil is not the only sign of degradation. Drivers may first notice an oil-change reminder, a mileage reading past the last service, or oil that looks low on the dipstick. A ticking or louder engine note at startup can also signal the need for attention.

  • Oil can lose its additive package
  • Oil carries engine heat and debris
  • Startup ticking or louder operation deserves inspection

What does dark or low oil mean in a 2016 Ram 1500?Dark or low oil on the dipstick is a reason to arrange an oil service and have the engine checked.

Oil appearance alone does not determine the full condition of the lubricant, because oil can lose its additive package and heat- and debris-carrying ability before it looks dirty. A technician can replace the oil and filter according to the engine’s requirements. Mention any oil-change reminder or unusual engine noise when booking.
