Dodge recommends changing your 1983 Power Ram 50’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Power Ram 50 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Dodge recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Dodge Power Ram 50. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, regulate engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine.
