Oil Change Q&A for Your 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 Van

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Dodge Ram 2500 Van? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Dodge Ram 2500 Van engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Dodge Ram 2500 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 it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Dodge Ram 2500 Van spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? 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 caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Dodge Ram 2500 Van oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Dodge Ram 2500 Van oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Dodge Ram 2500 Van to illuminate? The oil change light in your Dodge Ram 2500 Van 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.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Dodge Ram 2500 Van? You should replace your Dodge Ram 2500 Van 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.
