Can Dodges get engine sludge?

Yes, regular oil changes really ARE important! If you’re driving around with old motor oil, the broken-down fluid (and resulting debris) isn’t protecting your engine parts. In fact, it may even be causing slow damage to your Dodge Ram 2500’s engine! Routine oil changes may seem like an insignificant maintenance task, but trust us – your future self will thank you.

Is Dodge's recommended maintenance really that important?

Use your manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedule to help prevent costly repairs later. Take care of your car, and it’ll take care of you. Follow the maintenance schedule written by Dodge to keep your car in its best possible condition. After all, the cheapest kind of repair is one that never has to happen!

What should I tell the technician when I bring my Dodge to the shop?

No one likes having to get repair service on their trusty Dodge Ram 2500, but you can help minimize the hassle. As soon as you notice something that doesn’t seem right in your vehicle, make a note of the date and what happens (and write it down so you don’t forget!). Are there new noises coming from the engine? Does something smell funny in your A/C vents? The more information you can give to your technician, the better! We’ll be able to find the root of the problem quickly and address it before it gets any worse.
