The standard oil pressure range for the Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi is between 25 and 65 psi. It's important to keep up with regular oil changes, usually recommended every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Neglecting to change the oil can lead to engine problems, so using high-quality oil is crucial for optimal engine performance. Issues related to the oil can manifest as a foul burning odor, which should be addressed promptly to prevent potential engine damage. Poor-quality oil may result in engine failure, as well as decreased fuel efficiency and the emergence of unusual knocking sounds from the engine.

    When I first turned on my truck, the tire pressure was at 55 psi. However, as the vehicle warmed up, the pressure began to decrease. Is this to be expected?

  • Michele mangham

    The typical range of oil pressure when the oil is warmed up is usually between 25 and 65 pounds per square inch (psi), and this can vary based on the weight of the truck.

    2018 Ram 1500 with a powerful 5.7-liter Hemi engine. Running on Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic 5W-20 oil. Oil pressure hovers around 39 pounds per square inch at idle and increases to 59 psi at 70 miles per hour.

  • Gabriella

    The provided range is correct. If your pressure gauge reads 96 psi, then it's advisable to swap out your oil pressure sensor. This task is quite simple to perform on your own using a 1/2-inch breaker bar, a 1 1/16-inch deep well socket, and a 3 to 5-inch extender.

    At the usual temperature for running, the car's engine runs at 32 degrees Celsius when idle. When driving at 65 miles per hour, the engine operates at about 52 degrees Celsius with a speed of 1700 rpm. The car has clocked 134,000 miles.

  • Mg

    The maximum oil pressure reading for a ram is 96 psi. Make sure to check the pressure reading with the engine turned off. If it remains at 96 psi, then the oil sensor is likely faulty.

  • Christine Carver

    In my 2018 Ram 1500 with a 5.7L Hemi engine, the vehicle information screen shows the oil pressure at 35 psi when the car is idle. Revving the engine to 1,500 RPM increases the oil pressure to 50 psi.

  • Erasmo O.

    I just finished changing the oil in my 2009 1500 truck. It's idling at 37 psi, and the truck is warmed up.

  • Perry F.

    In 2013, I own a Ram 1500 with a Hemi engine that has clocked 150,000 miles. The key to keeping it running smoothly is its oil. I recently switched to PUP oil and added 2 quarts of Redline. After the change, the oil pressure was at 60 psi when cold and around 37 psi at operating temperature. On the highway, the pressure typically stays under 54 psi when warm. I've noticed that the truck burns about a quarter of oil every 2,000 miles. In the past, when the oil was old or low, the pressure would drop to 52 psi when cold and as low as 24 psi, but usually maintains around 30 psi at idle.

  • Heather B

    In 2015, a RAM 1500 with a 5.7-liter engine has over 60,000 miles on it. It idles at 32-33 pounds per square inch (psi) and reaches 43 psi during warm-up when driving at 5-10 miles per hour, eventually topping out around 51 psi at 60 mph. It's running on brand new 6.7 quarts of synthetic 5w-20 oil and an STP high mileage filter.
