The correct oil is the Ram/FCA-listed specification for the 6.4L V8 in your owner’s manual; we fill to OEM spec and confirm by VIN.

Ram specifies oil by viscosity and performance standard for the 2018 Ram 2500, and this can vary by engine option and operating profile. Our technicians install oil meeting the exact factory specification and pair it with a Mopar-quality filter.

  • Viscosity and spec verified against Ram’s database

How much oil does a 2018 Ram 2500 need?

The factory oil capacity is listed in your owner’s manual and underhood label; we confirm by VIN and fill to spec.

Is it worth getting a 2018 Ram 2500 oil change at the dealer vs. a quick-lube shop?

Yes — dealership oil service uses OEM-spec oil and a Mopar-quality filter, plus a documented multi-point inspection.

For a heavy-duty truck like the 2018 Ram 2500, correct oil specification and filtration protect the 6.4L V8 under towing and work use. Our Danvers team also checks fluids, tires, and visible components and records the service for your maintenance history.

Will skipping oil changes void my 2018 Ram 2500 warranty?

Skipping required oil services can jeopardize coverage because OEM warranties expect maintenance per the Ram schedule with records kept.

The safest approach is to follow the oil-change interval in your owner’s manual and retain receipts. We document each visit for your 2018 Ram 2500 so you have proof of compliance if a warranty concern arises. Bring your maintenance booklet or ask us to print prior history.

  • Follow Ram’s published maintenance schedule
  • Keep dated invoices and odometer readings
  • Ask us to log service in your records at checkout

  • Oil spec verified from Ram service information
  • Selection based on your towing and climate use
