2002 Dodge Ram 1500 Van Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Dodge Ram 1500 Van? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Dodge Ram 1500 Van engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Dodge Ram 1500 Van oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of 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 Ram 1500 Van exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Dodge Ram 1500 Van oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Dodge Ram 1500 Van oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is my Dodge Ram 1500 Van oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Dodge Ram 1500 Van oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Dodge Ram 1500 Van? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Dodge Ram 1500 Van every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
