What is the 2000 Dodge Ram 1500's oil type?
I told my mom I would change the oil in her car. She drives a 2000 Ram, but I’m not sure which oil it takes. What is the oil type for the 2000 Dodge Ram 1500?

Since the car’s older, look for oil specifically formulated for vehicles with high mileage. It will take around 5 quarts.
While you’re helping your mom with her car, make sure you also do the following:
- Inspect the exhaust manifold as they have been known to break in this model
- Look around for any coolant leaks
- Regularly rotate the tires
- Regularly inspect the brakes
Repair costs for the 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 can be pricey, but you can save money down the road by keeping up with regular maintenance.
