Ram C/V Engine Oil Specs

The Ram C/V was produced from 2013 to 2014. This model typically uses 5W-20 full synthetic engine oil — a specification common to most Ram C/V-series vehicles.

Selecting the correct oil viscosity for your Ram C/V is essential. Using a grade that is too thin reduces protection at operating temperature, while too thick an oil impairs cold-start flow and reduces fuel economy. Always match the exact grade shown for your specific model year.

The recommended oil change interval for the Ram C/V is every 7,500 miles or 12 months. Under severe driving conditions — track use, towing, or frequent cold starts — shorten this interval by 25–30%.

When servicing your Ram C/V, always replace the oil filter at every oil change. Using a quality filter — such as Fram, Mobil 1, or OEM equivalent filters — ensures clean oil circulation through the engine block.

Oil change costs for the Ram C/V at a US dealership or local service center typically range from $60 to $110 for a standard synthetic blend or full synthetic service. DIY oil changes cost approximately $30–$65 in parts (oil + filter) and take about 30 minutes with the right tools.

Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual to confirm the exact specification for your specific trim and engine variant, as some Ram C/V configurations may have different requirements.
