2021 Ram 1500 Oil Change: Specs & Service

That interval is based on mileage and time rather than how clean the oil looks. Oil gradually loses additives and its ability to carry heat and debris. Drivers in Peoria may also want to discuss service timing when the truck regularly handles towing, dusty roads, or extended stop-and-go driving.

• Engine oil replacement: every 10,000 miles
• Oil-filter replacement: every 10,000 miles
• Oil-life monitor reset after service

Replacing the filter at the same interval helps remove debris as fresh oil circulates through the engine. The service also drains and refills the oil with the grade and capacity specified by the manufacturer. Afterward, the oil-life monitor is reset and underhood fluid levels are checked.

• Oil is drained before the refill
• A new oil filter is installed
• The oil-life monitor is reset

Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria performs the core maintenance steps specified for this service at 8665 West Bell Road. The visit gives the technician an opportunity to identify an oil reminder, low dipstick level, or louder start-up engine note that may need attention.

• Drain and refill with the specified oil
• Replace the oil filter
• Check underhood fluid levels

Other signs include oil on the dipstick that appears dark or low and a ticking or louder engine note during start-up. These signs do not replace the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule, since oil can lose heat-management and cleaning performance before it looks dirty.

• Oil-change reminder illumination
• Dark or low oil on the dipstick
• Ticking or louder sound at start-up

The model range also spans engine sizes from 3.6 to 6.2 liters and displacement from 3,604 to 6,166 cc. Because engine configuration varies by trim, the oil grade and fill capacity should follow the specification for the individual vehicle.

• Cylinder range: 6 to 8
• Engine-size range: 3.6 to 6.2 L
• Engine layout: V

Towing places additional operating demands on a truck, particularly during repeated pulls, heat, and low-speed driving. Keeping scheduled oil service current helps maintain the maintenance record for a vehicle used for work or recreation. Contact the Peoria service department to schedule the oil and filter replacement.

• Maximum towing range: 6,720 to 11,290 lbs
• Torque range: 269 to 650 lb-ft
• Transmission: automatic eight-speed

Oil carries heat and debris away from engine components, but its additive package and cleaning ability decline over time. Booking service before the reminder becomes overdue supports consistent maintenance for commuting, hauling, and towing. The completed visit also includes an oil-life monitor reset and an underhood fluid-level check.

• Follow the 10,000-mile oil interval
• Replace the filter at the same interval
• Keep the oil-life monitor current

The manufacturer’s published maintenance schedule calls for changing engine oil every 10,000 miles and replacing the oil filter every 10,000 miles. Oil service also includes resetting the oil-life monitor and checking underhood fluid levels. This maintenance matters because oil loses additives and its ability to carry heat and debris long before it necessarily looks dirty. Towing and frequent stop-and-go operation can make timely maintenance especially important for a working truck.

The service addresses the maintenance items supplied for this oil-change visit. Drivers may notice an oil-change reminder, dark or low oil on the dipstick, or a ticking or louder engine note at start-up when service is due. Oil can lose its additive package and heat- and debris-carrying ability before it appears dirty, which is why the published interval is based on mileage and time rather than appearance.
