How Often to Change 1990 Dodge Ramcharger Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1990 Dodge Ramcharger? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about motor oil, too. 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 having your 1990 Dodge Ramcharger’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Ramcharger may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Dodge if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Dodge Ramcharger. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

What Type of Oil Does My Dodge Ramcharger Need?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 1990 Dodge Ramcharger motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Dodge has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 1990 Ramcharger. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, regulate engine temperature, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. During an oil change, an auto technician will change your Ramcharger’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can drive easy knowing that we strive to do what's best for your vehicle and take into account your driving habits, and the number of miles on your odometer.

1990 Dodge Ramcharger Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Dodge Ramcharger? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your Dodge Ramcharger engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Dodge oil on my own? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. 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 Ramcharger 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, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Dodge Ramcharger oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Dodge Ramcharger 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.
  • What does it mean if my Dodge Ramcharger oil light comes on? Your Dodge Ramcharger oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Dodge Ramcharger? You should replace your Dodge Ramcharger during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
