Ram 1500 Maintenance Schedule OH

The Ram 1500 has a convenient indicator light that effectively alerts you when to change your oil. This intelligent sensor considers various factors, including oil quality, engine size, fuel ethanol level, and more, providing accurate information for optimal oil change timing. The specific intervals for oil changes depend on factors such as your Ram model, oil type, quality, and driving conditions. Changing your oil every 7,500 to 10,000 miles is recommended for light and everyday driving. If your driving is moderate, consider getting an oil change every 5,000 to 8,000 miles. However, changing your oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles is advisable if you frequently engage in towing and off-roading activities. When it's time for an oil change, you'll notice an orange box on your dashboard that displays the message "oil change required." When this light appears, promptly visit Charlie's Dodge Chrysler Jeep RAM, where our skilled technicians will efficiently handle your oil change needs. Remember, it's crucial not to exceed 10,000 miles without an oil change to ensure your Ram's optimal performance.
