2017 Ram 3500 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Ram 3500 to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your 3500 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 3500, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2017 Ram 3500 maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Ram, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 3500's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2017 Ram 3500 problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2017 Ram 3500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with 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 3500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2017 Ram 3500 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 3500 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Ram 3500 battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 3500 stranded. Your Ram 3500 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2017 Ram 3500 engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2017 3500. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2017 Ram 3500.
