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.
