How often should I change the oil in my Ram 2500?
The Ram 2500 requires oil changes at different intervals depending on a number of operating‑condition variables such as frequent short trips, trailer towing and extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures. The Ram 2500 is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system that will remind you when it is time to change your oil. Oil change intervals should never exceed 12 months or 13,000 km for gas engines, and 12 months or 24,000km for diesel engines. But for the best maintenance of your truck, we recommend 6 months or 10,000km, which ever comes first.
