I love doing routine maintenance on my cars. My only concern is that I don’t have the manual for a used RAM 1500 I just bought. What type of oil do I need for a 2017 RAM 1500?
’s oil type is SAE 5W-20. RAM recommends fully synthetic motor oil for peak performance and improved fuel economy, although a blend will also work in a pinch.
The amount of oil you need for an oil change will vary depending on the engine under the hood:
5.9 quarts for the 3.6-liter V-6
7 quarts for the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8
10.6 quarts for the 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V-6
