Your 1999 Ram 1500’s oil should be changed according to Dodge’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Dodge Ram 1500.

1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Dodge Ram 1500? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Ram 1500’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Dodge oil on my own? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Dodge Ram 1500 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Dodge Ram 1500 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Dodge Ram 1500 oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Dodge Ram 1500? Your Dodge Ram 1500 oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Does my Ram 1500's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Dodge Ram 1500 oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
