2018 Ram 1500 Oil Change: Specs & Service

The oil filter is also scheduled for replacement every 10,000 miles. Oil loses additives and its ability to carry heat and debris before it necessarily looks dirty, so mileage and time are more useful than appearance alone. Drivers who tow, idle frequently, or travel through dusty conditions should discuss their driving pattern with a service advisor.

• Engine oil change: every 10,000 miles
• Oil filter replacement: every 10,000 miles
• Service includes resetting the oil-life monitor

The service follows the oil grade and capacity specified for the vehicle’s engine. The technician replaces the used oil and filter, resets the maintenance reminder, and checks underhood fluid levels before the vehicle leaves. Booking the service also creates a maintenance entry for the vehicle’s history.

• Drain and refill with the specified oil grade
• Install a new oil filter
• Reset the oil-life monitor and check fluid levels

Engine oil can degrade through use even when it does not appear heavily contaminated on the dipstick. Fresh oil supports the engine’s lubrication needs, while a new filter helps capture contaminants. An oil-change reminder, dark or low oil on the dipstick, or a ticking or louder start-up sound can indicate that service should be scheduled.

• Oil loses part of its additive package over time
• Oil carries engine heat and debris during operation
• Reminder lights and unusual start-up noise deserve attention

Checking the dipstick can provide additional information: oil that looks dark or reads low should not be ignored. A ticking or louder engine note at start-up is another reason to arrange an inspection. Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Avondale can document the completed oil and filter service in the vehicle’s history.

• Oil-change reminder light is illuminated
• Vehicle has passed the last service mileage
• Dipstick oil looks dark or reads low
