In 2015, the recommended oil type and capacity for the Ram ProMaster is 5w-30 and 9.5 quarts. It's important to change your oil periodically, typically every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Neglecting oil changes can lead to engine issues, so using high-quality oil is crucial for optimal performance. Symptoms of oil problems include a strong burning smell, which should be addressed promptly to avoid potential engine damage or even an explosion. Dirty or old oil can cause engine failure, manifesting as knocking sounds and decreased fuel efficiency.
