MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
For information on the maintenance procedures for your vehicle, please refer to
“Maintenance Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” in your Owner’s Manual or
an applicable supplement at www.ramtrucks.com/en/owners/manuals for further
information.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE — GASOLINE ENGINE
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil
change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for
scheduled maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will
illuminate. This means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions
such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures,
and E85 fuel usage will influence when the “Oil Change Required” message is
displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to
illuminate as early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset. Have your vehicle
serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing
the scheduled oil change. If a scheduled oil change is performed by someone other
than your authorized dealer, the message can be reset by referring to the steps
described under “Instrument Cluster Warning Lights” in “What To Do In Emergen-
cies” in this guide or “Instrument Cluster Display” in “Understanding Your Instru-
ment Panel” in your Owner’s Manual at www.ramtrucks.com/en/owners/manuals for
further information.
Gasoline Engines:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 8,000 miles (13,000 km),
twelve months or 350 hours of engine run time, whichever comes first. The 350 hours
of engine run or idle time is generally only a concern for fleet customers.
Severe Duty:
Change Engine Oil at 4,000 miles (6,500 km) if the vehicle is operated in a dusty and
off road environment or is operated predominately at idle or very low engine RPM’s. This
type of vehicle use is considered Severe Duty.
