Dodge recommends having your 2000 Dodge Ram 1500’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Ram 1500 in the above table. Outside of Dodge-recommended oil change intervals, your Ram 1500 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, 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, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Dodge Ram 1500. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
