how often should i change the oil in my 2020 Ram 3500?

Follow the 2020 Ram 3500 owner's maintenance schedule listed in the owner's manual for the factory-recommended oil-change interval.

Severe-duty conditions common in the Salt Lake Valley — frequent towing, short trips, dusty roads, and cold starts — may require more frequent service than the standard interval. Bring maintenance records to preserve warranty documentation and get personalized interval advice from our technicians.

  • Severe-duty driving may shorten the interval; tell us about towing or canyon use.
  • We can log service visits to support warranty claims.
what type of oil does a 2020 Ram 3500 take?

The 2020 Ram 3500 requires the OEM-specified oil grade and viscosity for its 6.4L V8; our service advisors will select the factory-recommended product for your engine.

Different engines and duty cycles can call for different viscosities or synthetic formulations; we match the oil to the engine code and the owner's manual recommendation. Using factory-specified oil helps preserve engine performance under towing and cold-weather conditions common near Sandy and the Wasatch Front.

  • We use oils that meet factory specifications for 6.4L V8 engines.
  • Full-synthetic options are available where recommended by the manufacturer.
  • Ask the service advisor for the exact viscosity used on your vehicle.
how much oil does a 2020 Ram 3500 need?

Oil capacity depends on the engine variant and installed filter; our advisors confirm the exact quart capacity for your 2020 Ram 3500 before the service.

Because the 2020 Ram 3500 can have different engine configurations, we verify capacity by VIN and engine code at the counter. This ensures we add the correct volume and avoid overfill when performing an OEM-spec oil change in Sandy.

  • Capacity is verified by VIN/engine code at service intake.
  • Technicians measure and refill to the factory specification.
  • We dispose of used oil per environmental regulations.
is it worth getting a 2020 Ram 3500 oil change at the dealer vs a quick-lube shop?

Dealer service includes OEM-spec oil and filter, a multi-point inspection, and warranty documentation that quick-lube shops may not provide.

Quick-lube shops can be convenient for simple oil-and-filter swaps, but dealer service ties the work to your vehicle's VIN and maintenance history, which helps with warranty claims. For heavy towing, cold-weather operation, or when factory-specified products are required, dealer service offers traceable documentation and technician familiarity with Ram heavy-duty engines.

  • Dealer work is logged to your vehicle's service history.
  • OEM-spec parts and fluids are used per factory guidance.
  • Multi-point inspections identify issues related to towing and cold starts.
will skipping oil changes void my 2020 Ram 3500 warranty?

Warranty administrators review maintenance history when evaluating claims; documented, timely oil changes help establish compliance with the manufacturer's maintenance requirements. We provide written receipts and service logs to support warranty submissions when work is performed at our facility in Sandy.

  • Keep receipts and service records for warranty support.
  • Dealer-performed services are logged to the vehicle's service file.
  • Ask your service advisor about documentation needed for claims.
what's the difference between conventional, synthetic blend, and full synthetic for a 2020 Ram 3500?

Full synthetic oil resists thermal breakdown and shear better than conventional oil; blends offer an intermediate option while conventional is the most basic formulation.

For a heavy-duty vehicle like the 2020 Ram 3500 — often used for towing or exposure to cold starts — a full synthetic product can provide improved protection under high load and temperature. Always match the chosen oil to the factory recommendation documented in the owner's manual for best results.

  • Full synthetic: better high-temp and shear protection.
  • Synthetic blend: improved protection over conventional at a mid-tier price.
  • Conventional: lowest cost, acceptable only where the manufacturer permits it.
