What is the 2017 RAM 1500’s oil type?

I love doing routine maintenance on my cars. My only concern is that I don’t have the manual for a used RAM 1500 I just bought. What type of oil do I need for a 2017 RAM 1500?

Doing your own car maintenance can be super satisfying! If you want to change the oil on your truck, the
RAM 1500
’s oil type is SAE 5W-20. RAM recommends fully synthetic motor oil for peak performance and improved fuel economy, although a blend will also work in a pinch.
The amount of oil you need for an oil change will vary depending on the engine under the hood:
  • 5.9 quarts for the 3.6-liter V-6
  • 7 quarts for the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8
  • 10.6 quarts for the 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V-6
While you may find oil changes and car maintenance fun, you probably don’t think the same way about car insurance. Well, you’ll be glad to know that the
