How often should I change the oil in my 2017 Ram 1500?
Change the 2017 Ram 1500’s oil about every 8,000 miles in normal driving, or around every 4,000 miles in severe New England conditions.
Cold starts, frequent short trips, towing, and stop-and-go traffic on Route 114 shorten oil life in the 3.6L V6. Follow the owner’s manual and your oil-life monitor, and keep records to protect warranty coverage. If your usage skews severe, use the shorter interval and OEM-spec oil.
- Normal: ~8,000-mile interval
- Severe duty (cold, towing, short trips): ~4,000 miles
- Track maintenance in your service records
What type of oil does a 2017 Ram 1500 take?
The 2017 Ram 1500 3.6L V6 typically uses SAE 5W-20 oil that meets Chrysler MS-6395; full-synthetic oil meeting this spec is recommended for New England climates.
This viscosity supports quick cold-start flow and stable protection under load. We install OEM-spec oil and a Mopar-quality filter to match factory requirements. Check your owner’s manual for confirmation by engine and VIN.
- Viscosity: SAE 5W-20 (per typical OEM spec)
- Meets Chrysler MS-6395
- Full synthetic recommended for cold weather
How much oil does a 2017 Ram 1500 need?
The 2017 Ram 1500 3.6L V6 holds about 6.0 quarts of oil with a filter change.
Capacity can vary slightly by engine calibration and filter design; technicians verify level after filling and warm-up. We use precise metering and confirm with the dipstick and the driver information center where applicable. Always use oil that meets the OEM specification.
- Approximate capacity: 6.0 quarts with filter
- Measured fill and level check after warm-up
- Uses a Mopar-quality oil filter
Is it worth getting a 2017 Ram 1500 oil change at the dealer vs. a quick-lube shop?
Yes — dealer service uses OEM-spec oil and a Mopar-quality filter, includes a multi-point inspection, and helps document maintenance for warranty protection.
Quick-lube shops can be convenient, but they may not always stock the exact OEM-spec oil and filter for your 3.6L V6. Our Danvers team follows factory procedures and records service to your file. Review our service specials and book online.

Will skipping oil changes void my 2017 Ram 1500 warranty?
Skipping required oil changes can lead to denial of engine lubrication-related warranty claims; keep dated receipts and follow the OEM schedule.
Warranty coverage generally requires maintenance per the owner’s manual using oil that meets the factory specification. Service records show compliance. For diagnosis and warranty work, a certified facility is typically required.
- Follow the owner’s manual schedule and oil spec
- Retain invoices with mileage and VIN
- Use certified technicians for warranty-related repairs
What’s the difference between conventional, synthetic blend, and full synthetic for a 2017 Ram 1500?
Full synthetic offers the best cold-start pumpability and high-temp stability; blends are mid-tier; conventional is the most basic option.
For a 3.6L V6 working through New England winters and towing, full synthetic that meets Chrysler MS-6395 helps maintain viscosity and reduce deposits. Synthetic blends can be a budget-friendly upgrade over conventional. Use the viscosity in your manual.
- Full synthetic: strongest protection across temperatures
- Blend: better than conventional at a lower cost
- Conventional: meets baseline spec when allowed
