Follow the factory maintenance schedule in your 2018 RAM Promaster-City owner’s manual, and shorten intervals for severe New England driving.

Our team in Danvers can review your driving profile and recommend an interval aligned with RAM guidance. Book a convenient time and check savings on our service specials.

What’s the difference between conventional, synthetic blend, and full synthetic for a 2018 RAM Promaster-City?
Full synthetic resists breakdown better than conventional oil and protects across a wider temperature range.
Conventional oil is refined mineral oil; synthetic blend mixes conventional with synthetics; full synthetic is engineered for stability, cleanliness, and flow at temperature extremes. Given Danvers winters and summer heat, many owners prefer the added protection of synthetic options. Always match the viscosity and spec required for the 2018 RAM Promaster-City.
- Conventional: budget-friendly, less thermal stability
- Blend: step-up protection vs. conventional
- Full synthetic: best oxidation control and cold-flow
Will skipping oil changes void my 2018 RAM Promaster-City warranty?
