Capacity by Engine Option

Oil Change Interval

Your 2024 Ram 2500 is equipped with an oil life monitoring system that will alert you when it's time for a change. However, do not exceed one year or 10,000 miles between changes. For severe duty usage—such as frequent towing, heavy hauling, extensive idling, or operating in dusty conditions—the interval should be shortened.

• Normal Duty: Follow the oil life monitor, up to 10,000 miles or 1 year.
• Severe Duty (6.4L HEMI): Every 4,000 miles (6,500 km).
• Severe Duty (6.7L Cummins): Every 7,500 miles (12,000 km) or 6 months, or 250 hours of engine run time.

Drain Plug Torque

• 6.4L HEMI V8: 20 ft-lbs (27 Nm)
• 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel: 37 ft-lbs (50 Nm)

Always use a new crush washer or drain plug gasket if the old one appears worn or damaged to prevent leaks. It is best practice to replace it with every oil change.

How to Change the Oil

Changing the oil on a 2024 Ram 2500 is a straightforward process:

1. Run the engine for 2-3 minutes to warm the oil, then shut it off.
2. Place a drain pan under the oil pan and remove the drain plug.
3. Allow the oil to drain completely, then clean the drain plug and surrounding area.
4. Remove the old oil filter. Be prepared for some oil spillage.
5. Wipe the filter mounting surface clean and apply a thin film of new oil to the gasket of the new filter.
6. Install the new filter and hand-tighten it until the gasket makes contact, then tighten an additional three-quarters of a turn.
7. Reinstall the drain plug and torque it to the specified value.
8. Fill the engine with the correct amount and type of new oil.
9. Start the engine and let it run for 30-60 seconds while checking for leaks.
10. Shut off the engine, wait 5-10 minutes for the oil to settle, and re-check the dipstick, topping off as needed.
11. Reset the oil life monitor through the vehicle's infotainment screen.

Common Issues / Tips

• Correct Oil Spec: For the 6.4L HEMI, using an oil that meets Chrysler's MS-12633 specification is critical for the proper function of the Multi-Displacement System (MDS). For the 6.7L Cummins, a CK-4 rated diesel oil is essential for emissions system longevity and turbocharger health.
• Filter Access: The oil filter on the 6.4L HEMI is easily accessible from underneath the front of the truck. On the 6.7L Cummins, it is a large, vertically oriented canister filter on the passenger side of the engine block that may require a specific large filter wrench to remove if overtightened.
• Spillage: Due to the large capacities, especially on the Cummins model, be prepared with a drain pan that can hold at least 15 quarts to avoid overflow.
