Ram maintenance schedules

This page lists Ram maintenance schedules for the 2021 Ram 1500 — 3 engines in all, each with its own schedule. Each schedule shows every service the manufacturer lists, what it involves, and when it’s due.

Ram trucks use an oil change indicator: an “Oil Change Required” message that comes on based on operating conditions such as short trips, towing and very hot or cold weather. It can ask sooner than the schedule, but you should never go past the maximum interval in the owner’s manual.

Every interval runs on miles or time, whichever comes first: a car that’s driven little still needs its oil, coolant and brake fluid changed on time, and one that’s driven a lot reaches the mileage first. Your owner’s manual is the final word for your exact vehicle, so check it when a trim, engine or driving condition differs.
