Oil Changes

If you have a more modern version of the Ram 1500, it will come with an oil change indicator light that will let you know when to change your oil. This intelligent sensor goes through several factors, such as oil quality, engine size, fuel ethanol level, and more. These intervals are determined by what kind of Ram you have, the oil type, quality, and driving conditions. If you only use your Ram for light driving, you will want your oil changed between 7,500 and 10,000 miles. For those who drive a moderate amount, then you will want to get it changed around 5,000 to 8,000 miles. Those who do a lot of off-roading and towing will want to get their oil changed between 3,000-5,000 miles. When you are due for your oil change, you will see an orange box on your dashboard that reads "oil change required." Once this light comes on, head down to Fullerton Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram so our technicians can do an oil change. Make sure that you never go more than 10,000 miles without an oil change.
