Frequently Asked Questions

6 common questions answered

Is the oil filter replaced every time a 2017 Dodge Durango has its oil changed?Yes, the oil filter is replaced with the oil according to the manufacturer’s published maintenance schedule.

For this model year, the manufacturer specifies oil filter replacement every 10,000 miles. Replacing both together helps keep fresh oil moving through a clean filter rather than one already loaded with debris.

  • Filter matched to the fitted engine
  • Oil filter replaced alongside the oil
  • Filter seal checked after the engine runs
What is included in an oil filter replacement on a 2017 Dodge Durango?An oil filter replacement includes a correctly matched filter, a new drain plug gasket or washer where used, and a post-service leak check.

The filter is selected for the engine fitted in the SUV. After installation, the engine is run so the technician can inspect the filter seal for leaks. The service is performed alongside the oil change.

  • Engine-specific oil filter
  • New drain plug gasket or washer where applicable
  • Leak inspection at the filter seal
What happens if the oil filter on a 2017 Dodge Durango is not replaced?A loaded filter can open its bypass valve, allowing oil to circulate without filtration.

The engine does not necessarily stop receiving oil when the bypass valve opens; it stops receiving filtered oil. Debris can therefore continue moving with the oil, which is why stretching one filter across multiple oil changes is not a sound maintenance approach.

  • Debris remains trapped in an increasingly loaded filter
  • The bypass valve may allow unfiltered oil flow
  • Engine noise or an oil-pressure warning warrants inspection
Does a 2017 Dodge Durango need a specific oil filter?Yes, the filter must be matched to the engine, and filters are not interchangeable across engines.

The 2017 Dodge Durango uses engines ranging from 3.6 to 5.7 liters and six to eight cylinders across its trims. Correct fitment depends on the engine actually installed, so the filter should be selected for that application rather than treated as universal.

  • Engine displacement ranges from 3.6 to 5.7 liters
  • Available configurations range from six to eight cylinders
  • Fitment is confirmed before installation
Can the oil be changed on a 2017 Dodge Durango without changing the filter?The oil can be changed separately, but the filter should be replaced with the oil according to the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule.

A filter that remains in service continues holding the debris captured from the previous oil interval. Once it loads, its bypass valve can allow unfiltered oil circulation, so replacing the filter with fresh oil supports continued filtration.

  • Filter replacement is scheduled every 10,000 miles
  • Fresh oil does not clean a loaded filter
  • Filter and oil service are performed together
