Your 2005 Dakota’s oil should be changed according to Dodge’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Dakota in the above table.

You may also need an oil change more frequently than Dodge recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Dodge Dakota. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
