Dodge recommends having your 1998 Dodge Ram 2500’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Ram 2500 in the above table. Outside of Dodge-recommended oil change intervals, your Ram 2500 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, 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. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Dodge Ram 2500. 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.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1998 Dodge Ram 2500

  • Should I check my Dodge Ram 2500 motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Dodge Ram 2500 engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Dodge Ram 2500 oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Dodge exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Dodge Ram 2500? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Dodge Ram 2500 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 my Dodge Ram 2500 oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Dodge Ram 2500 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.
  • Do I need to change my Ram 2500's oil filter when I get an oil change? Every time you change the oil in your Dodge Ram 2500, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
