2020 Ram 1500 Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Ram 1500 and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 1500. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 1500, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2020 Ram 1500!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Ram themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 1500's life, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2020 Ram 1500 problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2020 Ram 1500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your 1500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2020 Ram 1500 be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 1500 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Ram 1500 battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 1500 stranded. Your Ram 1500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2020 Ram 1500 running newer, longer. To learn how often Ram recommends you have the oil changed in your 2020 1500, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2020 Ram 1500.

Routine upkeep for your Ram 1500 suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide Ram 1500 steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Ram 1500's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Ram 1500 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.

Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Ram 1500’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too.
