Oil change interval
The 2022 Ram 1500 is equipped with an oil life monitoring system that will notify you when it is time for an oil change. However, the general recommendation is to change the oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles for normal duty, or more frequently for severe duty conditions such as frequent towing, hauling, or off-road use.
Drain plug torque
The recommended torque for the oil drain plug is 25 ft-lbs. It is also recommended to replace the crush washer at every oil change to prevent leaks.
How to change the oil
- Warm up the engine to help the oil flow more easily.
- Locate and remove the oil fill cap to allow for better drainage.
- Place a drain pan under the oil pan and remove the drain plug.
- Allow the old oil to drain completely.
- Replace the crush washer and reinstall the drain plug, torquing it to 25 ft-lbs.
- Locate and remove the old oil filter.
- Apply a thin layer of new oil to the gasket of the new oil filter before installing it.
- Hand-tighten the new oil filter until it is snug, then give it an additional quarter turn.
- Fill the engine with the correct amount and type of new oil.
- Replace the oil fill cap and start the engine, checking for any leaks.
