In 2017, the Ram 1500 offers different engine options: a 3.6 L V6 model holds 5.9 quarts of full synthetic SAE 5W-20 oil, while the 5.7 L V8 model requires 7 quarts of the same oil. There's also a 3.0 L V6 diesel engine that needs 10.6 quarts of full synthetic 0W-40 oil. By using full synthetic oil, you can go 7,500 to 10,000 miles between oil changes, saving money and avoiding the hassle of changing the oil yourself or going to a dealer every 5,000 miles.
The recommended oil for the 2017 Ram 1500 is a full synthetic with a viscosity of SAE 5W-20 for the two gasoline engines. The oil capacity for the 3.6L V6 engine is 5.9 quarts, while the 5.7L V8 engine requires 7 quarts of oil. For the 3.0L V6 diesel engine, it uses full synthetic 0W-40 oil and needs 10.6 quarts of oil.
Use 5w-20 oil and add 7 quarts.
