Your 1990 W150’s oil should be changed according to Dodge’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

1990 Dodge W150 Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Dodge W150 motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine.

That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Dodge oil on my own? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Dodge W150 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
