Should I check my Dodge Sprinter 3500 motor oil level?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Dodge Sprinter 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 Sprinter 3500 oil at home?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
