Ram 1500 Service Intervals

How Often Should I Service My RAM 1500?

The RAM 1500 is a solid and capable work truck, but it needs periodic service and maintenance to stay in top form as with any truck. The RAM 1500 maintenance schedule may vary from the service schedule for other vehicles, however, which means that you'll need to follow the precise schedule for your truck to ensure optimal health. RAM 1500 service intervals start with an oil change around 8,000 miles, which a tire rotation may accompany. The first full service starts at 15,000 miles.

15,000-Mile Service

Your RAM 1500 will need its first round of service and preventative maintenance at 15,000 miles. The truck will get another oil change when it reaches this point, and it will have the engine filter changed. The RAM's tires will be rotated and checked for the correct pressure level. The brakes are inspected at 15,000 miles, and the braking system elements are also inspected for safety. The front suspension system will be checked for any problems, along with the tie rod ends. The brake lining is inspected and replaced as needed.

30,000-Mile Service

At 30,000 miles, your RAM 1500 will be due for another oil change. The engine filter is changed at 30,000 miles too, and the tires will likely be rotated again and checked for overall condition, pressure, and tread levels. The transfer case fluid is replaced at this time, and both the front and rear axles are inspected. The CV joints and universal joints will also be checked. The air filter in the cabin will be exchanged at 30,000 miles.
