  • 3.6L Pentastar V6: 0W-20 full synthetic oil
  • 5.7L HEMI® V8: 5W-20 full synthetic oil
  • 3.0L EcoDiesel V6: 5W-40 full synthetic diesel oil

 

RAM 1500 Oil Capacity

  • 3.6L V6: Approximately 5.9 quarts with filter
  • 5.7L V8: Around 7 quarts with filter
  • 3.0L EcoDiesel: About 10.5 quarts with filter
