How Often to Change 2006 Dodge Sprinter 3500 Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Dodge Sprinter 3500’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2006 Sprinter 3500’s oil should be changed according to Dodge’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Sprinter 3500 in the above table. Outside of Dodge-recommended oil change intervals, your Sprinter 3500 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, 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, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Dodge Sprinter 3500. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

Dodge has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the ideal engine oil for your 2006 Sprinter 3500. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, maintain proper engine temperature, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine.

You can drive easy knowing that we strive to do what's best for your vehicle and take into account your driving preferences, and odometer.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2006 Dodge Sprinter 3500

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Dodge Sprinter 3500? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Dodge Sprinter 3500 engine to fail. 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 help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Dodge Sprinter 3500 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. 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 old cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Dodge Sprinter 3500? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Dodge Sprinter 3500 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 Sprinter 3500 oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Dodge Sprinter 3500 oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Does my Sprinter 3500's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? Every time you change the oil in your Dodge Sprinter 3500, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
