How Often to Get 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2006 Dodge Ram 3500? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Dodge recommends changing your 2006 Ram 3500’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Dodge-recommended oil change intervals, your Ram 3500 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Dodge recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Dodge Ram 3500. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

2006 Dodge Ram 3500 Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Dodge Ram 3500 engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts.

That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Dodge Ram 3500 oil at home? 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 exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of 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, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
