• Dark or low oil on the dipstick
• Ticking or louder engine noise at startup

• Helps carry engine heat
• Supports lubrication of internal components
• Replaces the oil filter that captures contaminants

The manufacturer’s published maintenance schedule calls for changing the engine oil every 10,000 miles and replacing the oil filter every 10,000 miles. Oil service matters because engine oil gradually loses its additive package and its ability to carry heat and debris, even when it does not appear excessively dirty. Drivers who notice a reminder light, low or dark oil on the dipstick, or a ticking engine note at startup should schedule an inspection. Bring your 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan to Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria in Peoria for an OEM-spec oil change — schedule service.

Peoria driving can include stop-and-go traffic, extended idling, dusty conditions, and towing use. Those conditions can increase engine workload and expose oil to additional heat or contaminants, making attention to the published 10,000-mile schedule important.
