Oil Change Q&A for Your 1993 Dodge Ram 50

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Dodge Ram 50? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Dodge Ram 50 engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Dodge Ram 50 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 it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Dodge Ram 50 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Dodge Ram 50 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Dodge Ram 50 oil changes.

  • Does my Ram 50's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Dodge Ram 50 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.
