Ram maintenance schedule

Enter the VIN, or choose the fuel, engine size and year, to see the service intervals for that Ram engine: engine oil, timing chain or belt, brake fluid, transmission, coolant and spark plugs. Each line says how firm the figure is and where it comes from.

Last updated October 10, 2026

The short answer

Are these Ram intervals for US cars?
Yes. They come from Ram's US owner's manuals and maintenance guides wherever Ram publishes them, and otherwise from US dealers and parts makers; each line says which and links to it. Where a figure depends on driving conditions, it's the normal schedule; the severe schedule (towing, short trips, dust, extreme heat) is shorter.
How often does a Ram need an oil change?
Every 12 months or 10,000 miles on 6 of the 9 Ram engines we hold, per Ram's own schedule. Many Ram models use an oil-life monitor, which can call for a change sooner; enter the VIN for your engine.

Free. We decode the VIN with NHTSA's public decoder to get the make, model year and engine size, then match the engine in our tables.

Or choose the make and engine yourself:

Ram maintenance FAQs

Can I look up a Ram maintenance schedule by VIN?▾

Yes. Paste the 17-character VIN into the box above. We decode it with NHTSA's free public decoder to get the model year, fuel and engine size, then match that engine in our tables. It's free and there's no signup.

Does my Ram have a timing belt or a timing chain?▾

It depends on the engine. Of the 3 Ram engines whose timing drive we've confirmed, 3 use a chain and 0 a belt. A belt has a replacement interval; enter the VIN above to see the one for your engine.

How do I check a used Ram was serviced on schedule?▾

We don't sell US dealer service records for Ram, so ask the seller for receipts and the maintenance booklet. Our Ram factory build sheet ($7.99) tells you exactly how the car was built, which settles which engine and options this schedule applies to.

Is this data guaranteed?▾

No. Every line is labeled with where it comes from, and the maker's own figures are marked. None of it has been confirmed against your car, and the owner's manual for your model year is the final word.
