Dodge recommends changing your 2010 Ram 1500’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Ram 1500 in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Ram 1500 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Dodge if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. 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.

2010 Dodge Ram 1500 Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Dodge Ram 1500 engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your Dodge Ram 1500 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 Ram 1500 oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Dodge Ram 1500 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Dodge Ram 1500? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Dodge Ram 1500 oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What does it mean if my Dodge Ram 1500 oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Dodge Ram 1500 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.
  • 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.
