2005 Dodge Sprinter 3500 Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Dodge Sprinter 3500 engine? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine.

That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Dodge Sprinter 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. Getting a professional oil change reduces 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? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
