How often should I change the oil in a 2016 Ram 2500?The 2016 Ram 2500 engine oil and oil filter should be changed every 8,000 miles according to the manufacturer’s published maintenance schedule.
Oil loses additive performance and its ability to carry heat and debris before it necessarily looks dirty. The reminder light, a low or dark reading on the dipstick, or a louder ticking sound at startup can signal that service is due. Towing and other demanding driving conditions make staying on schedule especially important.

The published replacement interval for the oil and filter is every 8,000 miles.

- Oil carries debris toward the filter
- Scheduled service is set by mileage and time rather than appearance alone
Does towing affect oil service for a 2016 Ram 2500?The 2016 Ram 2500 has a maximum towing range of 9,790 to 17,370 pounds across its trims, making scheduled oil service important for work and towing use.

Because oil grade and capacity depend on the specific engine configuration, the service team uses the grade and capacity specified for the vehicle rather than applying one figure across every trim. The manufacturer’s published maintenance schedule calls for both engine oil and oil filter replacement every 8,000 miles.
Routine oil service matters because engine oil gradually loses its additive package and its ability to carry heat and debris. Drivers may first notice an oil-change reminder, mileage beyond the last service, dark or low oil on the dipstick, or a ticking or louder engine note at startup. A scheduled visit includes draining the used oil, installing a new filter, refilling with the specified oil, resetting the oil life monitor, and checking underhood fluid levels.
