Oil Type and Capacities for 2010 Dodge RAM 1500

RAM recommends that you use Mopar approved products for both the oil and filters listed below.

For the Mopar filters, if they are not available, a filter should only be used that meets or exceeds SAE/USCAR-36 Filter Performance Requirements.

All the products listed below, however, come from the Mopar Amazon shop.

I found the recommendations for the oil type and capacities from the 2010 Dodge RAM owners manual, but found the oil filter type recommendations from the Mopar Store.

How often should you change your oil?

According to the 2010 Dodge RAM 1500 owner’s manual, an oil change should occur every 6,000 miles or 6 months at the max.

There is a built-in oil change indicator system that will alert you when it is time for a scheduled maintenance.

Every time you perform an oil change you should also:

  • replace the filter
  • inspect hoses for brakes and lines
