If you have a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 truck with a 5.7L Hemi engine, it will take 7 US quarts of SAE 5W-30 motor oil including the filter. The oil drain plug on the truck requires a 13mm socket wrench and 20 lbs-ft of torque to remove it with a torque wrench. If you prefer a shop to do the oil change, expect to pay around $120 to $150 for the service.

Originally, the specified oil was 5W-30, but it was later changed to 5W-20, about two years later, to enhance EPA approval.
