Oil Change Q&A for Your 2021 Ram 1500 Classic

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Ram 1500 Classic? 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 Ram oil on my own? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Ram 1500 Classic spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

  • Why is my Ram 1500 Classic oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Ram 1500 Classic oil change reminder light.
