How Often Does my Ram 1500 Need an Oil Change?

The frequency in which your Ram truck needs an oil change can depend on model year, types of use, driving style, and most importantly, which Ram 1500 engine you have. You can learn about how often your Ram truck needs an oil change by reviewing your owner’s manual, or you can give our local Ram oil change center a call.

How Often Do You Really Need an Oil Change?

It’s generally recommended that you get an oil change at least once every 5,000 miles or six months, but best practice is to follow your factory-recommended schedule. If you get a full synthetic oil change, you can typically go more miles in between oil changes. You should also keep in mind that your driving style and road conditions can impact how often you need an oil change. If you’re using your Ram truck for towing or hauling heavy loads, that can have an impact as well.
