Knowing when a Ram 1500 needs its next oil change comes down to several guiding factors because not all Ram 1500s are the same given the range of production years from 1981 to present. Older-model Ram 1500s will continue to follow the recommended service interval; however, newer-model Ram 1500s are equipped with the oil change maintenance reminder. The new oil monitoring system factors in driving conditions in real-time to signal the driver precisely when the engine oil has lost integrity. If you own a newer-model Ram with the oil change monitoring system, we recommend that you schedule service when the Oil Life indicator hits 5%.
If you notice any of the warning signs of defective oil performance, it is a safe decision to have the oil changed no matter what the mileage. Since some driving factors like heavy towing are known to cause the oil to break down faster than usual, it is wise to also monitor the Ram 1500 for warning signs of an engine oil problem. Here are the most common warning signs that show up when a Ram 1500 has defective engine oil:
