Recommended RAM 1500 Oil Type

For most modern engines, the recommended oil type for the RAM 1500 is full synthetic. RAM engineered the truck’s powertrains to run cleanly and smoothly with synthetic formulations that withstand heat, towing demands, and long-distance travel.

So, what kind of oil does the RAM 1500 use? This depends on your specific engine, but many late-model RAM 1500 trucks use:

  • 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

If you’re wondering how much oil the RAM 1500 uses, capacities vary slightly depending on the engine. The RAM 1500 oil capacity is measured in quarts and is essential for proper lubrication. While exact numbers depend on your model year, typical oil capacities may include:

  • 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

Checking your owner’s manual or consulting our service center is the best way to confirm the correct oil capacity.
