Use SAE 5W-20 full synthetic meeting FCA MS-6395 for the 2018 Ram 3500 5.7L V8.

This viscosity supports quick cold‑start flow during Massachusetts winters while maintaining protection at operating temperature. Our technicians fill with OEM‑spec oil and install a Mopar‑quality filter to match factory standards. If you tow or idle extensively, full synthetic offers better oxidation resistance.

• Viscosity: SAE 5W-20 (OEM‑spec)
• Standard: FCA MS-6395 compliant oil
• Mopar‑quality filter installed at each service

The 2018 Ram 3500 with the 5.7L V8 takes about 7.0 quarts of oil with a new filter.

We confirm fill level after engine warm‑up and a brief rest, then set it to the correct mark on the dipstick. Using the right capacity prevents aeration and ensures stable oil pressure. Always replace the crush washer and torque the drain plug to spec.

• Approximate capacity: 7.0 quarts (with filter)
• Level verified after warm restart and rest
• Drain plug torqued and washer replaced

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

Quick‑lube shops can be faster for basic conventional oil, but your 2018 Ram 3500 benefits from correct FCA‑approved oil, trained technicians, and service records tied to your VIN. That helps with maintenance tracking and future resale.

• OEM‑spec oil and Mopar‑quality filter included
• Factory‑trained technicians and inspection
• Service records help protect long‑term value

Skipping required oil changes can jeopardize warranty coverage if maintenance isn’t performed and documented per the OEM schedule.

Keep dated receipts and follow the time/mileage intervals recommended for the 5.7L V8. Warranty work generally requires service performed to factory standards at a qualified facility. We can log each visit to help document compliance.

• Maintain oil service at specified intervals
• Save receipts and inspection reports
• Qualified facility helps protect coverage

Full synthetic offers the best cold‑start flow and oxidation stability, which benefits a 2018 Ram 3500 in New England conditions.

Conventional oil is budget‑friendly but breaks down faster under heat and towing. Blends improve resistance to breakdown. Full synthetic meeting FCA MS‑6395 supports extended protection, cleaner internals, and steadier viscosity across Danvers’ winter-to-summer swings.

• Conventional: lower cost, shorter protection
• Blend: mid‑tier stability and value
• Full synthetic: best cold‑start and heat control
