Dealership service bays typically block time to complete drain and refill, filter replacement, and a multi‑point inspection. Busy periods and additional services (fluid top‑offs, tire checks) add time, so we recommend scheduling.

• Schedule an appointment at schedule service to reserve a bay.
• Plan for additional time if tire or brake work is needed.
• Weekend and holiday calendars can fill; book ahead for predictable timing.

Follow the maintenance interval listed in the 2018 Ram 1500 owner’s manual for exact oil‑change mileage and time recommendations.

Driving conditions in the Salt Lake Valley — cold starts in winter, dusty summer roads, and towing or frequent canyon runs — can require more frequent service. If you perform heavy towing, lots of short trips, or off‑road driving, consider shorter intervals per the severe‑duty guidance in the manual.

• Review the owner’s manual for the OEM interval specific to your engine.
• Severe‑duty or towing use typically shortens recommended intervals.
• Keep service records with dealership invoices to document maintenance.

Refer to the 2018 Ram 1500 owner’s manual for the exact viscosity and whether full synthetic is required for your engine.

Manufacturer recommendations specify viscosity and oil classification to protect engine wear and emissions controls. Using the recommended oil type preserves performance and supports any warranty requirements tied to specified fluids.

• Check the owner’s manual for viscosity (e.g., 5W‑20, if listed) and synthetic requirements.
• Dealer service uses OEM‑specified fluids and filters.
• Ask the service advisor if you need an oil type suited for colder Utah winters.

Check the 2018 Ram 1500 owner’s manual for the exact oil capacity in quarts for your engine.

Oil capacity varies by engine and whether the oil is being changed with or without filter replacement. Service technicians verify capacity during the oil change to ensure correct fill and to avoid over‑ or under‑filling.

• Capacity information is listed in the vehicle’s owner’s manual.
• Technicians confirm fill level using the dipstick and vehicle-specific specs.
• Bring service records or the VIN for precise oil‑capacity verification.

Dealer service includes OEM‑specified oil and filter plus a documented multi‑point inspection that many quick‑lube locations do not include by default.

The dealer route preserves manufacturer specifications and keeps a service record with the dealer network — useful for warranty and resale documentation. Quick‑lube shops can be a cost‑effective option for conventional oil, but they may not use OEM filters or document service to manufacturer standards.

• Dealer service documents work on your vehicle’s record.
• OEM oil and filters are used to meet factory specifications.
• Quick‑lube shops can be faster and sometimes less expensive for basic oil types.

Conventional oils are petroleum based, blends mix conventional and synthetic bases, and full synthetic oils use engineered base stocks for greater thermal stability and protection.

Full synthetic resists breakdown at higher temperatures and offers better cold‑start flow; blends offer a middle ground for cost and performance. The dealer can recommend the grade that matches the 2018 Ram 1500’s manufacturer guidance and local driving conditions.

• Full synthetic provides improved high‑temperature protection and cold‑start flow.
• Synthetic blends offer cost savings with some performance gains over conventional oil.
• Use the oil type recommended in the owner’s manual for warranty and performance reasons.

The proper viscosity, oil classification, and capacity for the 2018 Ram 1500 are listed in the vehicle owner’s manual and are engine‑specific. Because the truck is offered with several engine options, always confirm the exact oil viscosity and whether full synthetic is recommended for your engine code before purchase or service. During an OEM-spec oil change, technicians install the correct OEM filter, fill to the specified capacity, and verify the level on the dipstick to factory tolerance.

For any uncertainty about specification, bring your vehicle VIN or the owner’s manual to the service drive so our technicians can match parts and fluids precisely. Bring your 2018 Ram 1500 to Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Sandy in Sandy for an OEM-spec oil change — schedule service.

Our service center supports drivers in the Sandy Auto Mall area and the broader South Valley communities — Sandy, Draper, and South Jordan. Utah’s climate affects oil performance: cold winters demand good low‑temperature pumpability, dry summers increase dust ingestion risk, and canyon or towing use places greater thermal stress on engine oil. Technicians account for these factors when recommending oil type and service intervals.

We are conveniently located just off I‑15, making it easy for Silicon Slopes commuters and family drivers alike to stop in before a trip to Little Cottonwood Canyon or a weekend event at America First Field. For an appointment, schedule service online and include notes about towing or frequent short trips so the advisor can recommend an appropriate oil.

An oil change for the 2018 Ram 1500 at the dealership typically follows a step‑by‑step process: drain the used oil, replace the OEM‑specified oil filter, refill with the correct oil type and quantity, and verify the final level. Technicians complete a multi‑point inspection that documents tire condition, fluid levels, belts, hoses, and visible leaks. Final steps include resetting service reminders where applicable and returning the vehicle with a printed service record.

This documented process supports maintenance history for warranty and resale. For current offers see service specials and to book a visit schedule service.
