The right oil for your Ram 1500 depends on its model year and engine. Over the years, Ram 1500 models have come with several different powertrains, including the Pentastar V6, HEMI V8, EcoDiesel V6, and Hurricane engines.
Because oil viscosity and specifications can vary between engines and model years, it’s important to use the oil recommended for your specific Ram 1500. Using the correct oil helps provide the lubrication and protection your engine needs while supporting the performance your Ram was built to deliver.
