1999 Dodge Ram 3500 Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my Dodge Ram 3500 engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Dodge Ram 3500 engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Dodge oil on my own? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce 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 3500 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

  • What can cause the oil light on my Dodge Ram 3500 to illuminate? Your Dodge Ram 3500 oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change.
