What is the 2000 Dodge Ram 1500's oil type?

I told my mom I would change the oil in her car. She drives a 2000 Ram, but I’m not sure which oil it takes. What is the oil type for the 2000 Dodge Ram 1500?

What a nice thing to do! The 2000
Dodge Ram 1500’s
oil type is 10W-30 oil.
Since the car’s older, look for oil specifically formulated for vehicles with high mileage. It will take around 5 quarts.
While you’re helping your mom with her car, make sure you also do the following:
  • Inspect the exhaust manifold as they have been known to break in this model
  • Look around for any coolant leaks
  • Regularly rotate the tires
  • Regularly inspect the brakes
