Dodge recommends having your 1996 Dodge B2500’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your B2500 in the above table. Outside of Dodge-recommended oil change intervals, your B2500 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Dodge recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Dodge B2500. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1996 Dodge B2500

  • What can low oil do to my Dodge B2500 engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine.

That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Dodge oil on my own? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Dodge B2500 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.

  • Why is the oil light on in my Dodge B2500? Your Dodge B2500 oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change.
