What is the 2017 Dodge RAM 1500’s oil type?
I just purchased a 2017 Dodge RAM 1500, as I needed the versatility that only a pickup can provide. However, I’ve always been one to do maintenance on my own and I want to change the oil. What oil type do I need for a Dodge RAM 1500?

Congrats on your new pickup! The suggested oil type for the 2017
Dodge RAM 1500
is 5W-20, although you can fill it with 0W-40 if you have a diesel engine. Full synthetic oil is preferred, but you can use a blend or conventional oil—the only difference is that you won’t get the peak performance or fuel economy that you would get with 5W-20 motor oil.Changing your own oil can definitely put hundreds of dollars back in your pocket every year. But did you know that shopping around for car insurance with the
