MPG ranges summarize the EPA configurations for each year, including different transmissions and drivetrains. Open the year to match the exact configuration and read its dated EPA source.

Ram 1500 Oil Capacity by year and engine

Match the model year and engine before comparing oil capacity in US quarts. The table reports the compiled with-filter quantity. It is not a dry-engine fill or a guarantee that the same amount applies to another engine in the range.

Oil Capacity for compiled Ram 1500 configurations
Year / configurationOil CapacityManufacturer references
2018 · 3.6L V6 8-speed automatic6 qt · SAE 5W-20Reference 1 · 2026-09-05
2018 · 5.7L V8 automatic7 qt · SAE 5W-20Reference 1 · 2026-09-05

Compare oil capacity across other models. Not published means the field has no compiled value for that configuration.

Ram 1500 Torque Specs by year and engine

This table covers wheel-fastener tightening torque in foot-pounds. It does not cover cylinder-head bolts, brake calipers or suspension fasteners. Those jobs need their own procedure and torque specification.

Ram 1500 Towing Capacity by year and engine

A towing-capacity search needs more than a year and model. Engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, cab, towing equipment and trailer brakes can affect the manufacturer's limit. A single maximum is useful only when its configuration matches the vehicle.

Compare towing capacity across other models. Not published means the field has no compiled value for that configuration.

Ram 1500 Tire Size by year and engine

OE tire size means a tire size listed for an original equipment configuration. A model may have multiple wheel packages. Compare the full tire code and your door-jamb label, rather than treating every size listed for the model as interchangeable.

Ram 1500 Bolt Pattern by year and engine

A bolt-pattern code records the number of fasteners and pitch-circle diameter. It is only one part of wheel selection. A matching pattern does not establish the correct center bore, offset, wheel width or load rating.

Compare bolt pattern across other models. Not published means the field has no compiled value for that configuration.

Ram 1500 Transmission Fluid Capacity by year and engine

Identify the transmission as well as the engine. A conventional automatic, CVT, dual-clutch gearbox and manual transmission can require different fluids even within one model year.

Compare transmission fluid capacity across other models. Not published means the field has no compiled value for that configuration.

Ram 1500 Battery Group Size by year and engine

A battery group identifies a case-size category, but it does not establish all replacement requirements. Terminal arrangement, capacity, starting rating and battery technology may also be specified for the vehicle.

Compare battery group size across other models. Not published means the field has no compiled value for that configuration.

Ram 1500 Wiper Blade Size by year and engine

Wiper sizes are recorded by position in inches. Driver and passenger blades may differ, and a rear blade is a separate fitment. Do not assume the two front blades use the same length.

Compare wiper blade size across other models. Not published means the field has no compiled value for that configuration.

Ram 1500 Spark Plug Gap by year and engine

Spark plug gap is listed in inches for the specified engine. A turbocharged engine and a naturally aspirated engine in the same model may use different plugs or gaps.

Ram 1500 Service Intervals by year and engine

Service intervals may be mileage-based, time-based or controlled by a maintenance monitor. Read the item description carefully: an initial coolant replacement can have a different schedule from later replacements.

Frequently asked questions

Does every Ram 1500 use the same oil capacity?

This reference separates 2 compiled engine configurations across 1 model years. Compare the oil-capacity table by year and engine; a model name alone does not identify the right fill quantity or oil specification.

Which 1500 years have service specifications here?

Compiled service data is available for 2018. Other listed years have EPA fuel-economy and NHTSA records. We have not copied service values from one year into another.

Where are Ram 1500 recalls and fuel costs?

Open a model year in the table. The same page contains its MPG by engine, fuel-cost calculator, recall campaigns, safety ratings and any compiled service specifications.
