Dodge recommends changing your 1986 W150’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Dodge W150. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
