1998 Dodge Ram 3500 Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Dodge Ram 3500? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Dodge Ram 3500 engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Dodge Ram 3500 oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. 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 3500 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does Dodge Ram 3500 oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Dodge Ram 3500 oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Dodge Ram 3500 to illuminate? Your Dodge Ram 3500 oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my Ram 3500's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Dodge Ram 3500 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.
