Your 2013 1500’s oil should be changed according to Ram’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above.

2013 Ram 1500 Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Ram 1500 motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Ram 1500 engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Ram 1500 oil at home? 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 with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Ram 1500 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Ram 1500 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Ram 1500 oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What does it mean if my Ram 1500 oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Ram 1500 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.
  • Do I need to replace my 1500’s oil filter when changing my oil? You should replace your Ram 1500 during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
