How Often to Get 1984 Dodge Power Ram 50 Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1984 Dodge Power Ram 50? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Dodge recommends changing your 1984 Power Ram 50’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Dodge-recommended oil change intervals, your Power Ram 50 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Dodge recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Dodge Power Ram 50. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What Type of Oil Does My Dodge Power Ram 50 Need?

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Dodge Power Ram 50. Dodge has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 1984 Power Ram 50. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, keep the engine cool, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. During an oil change, an auto technician will change your Power Ram 50’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Power Ram 50 by taking into account your driving style, and mileage.

1984 Dodge Power Ram 50 Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Dodge Power Ram 50 motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Dodge Power Ram 50 engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Dodge Power Ram 50 oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Dodge Power Ram 50 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional 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.
  • Who offers Dodge Power Ram 50 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Dodge Power Ram 50 oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Dodge Power Ram 50? The oil change light in your Dodge Power Ram 50 could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my Power Ram 50's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Dodge Power Ram 50 during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
