What Oil Does a 2022 Ram 4500 PICKUP Take?

The 2022 Ram 4500 PICKUP 6.4L engine is engineered for heavy use, so it requires a premium oil that can stand up to severe conditions. The manufacturer recommends full synthetic oil with a specific viscosity for optimal protection and engine performance in all climates.

• 0W-40 Full Synthetic: Required for all temperatures and operational conditions. This viscosity ensures excellent cold start protection as well as robust high-temperature stability, perfect for demanding commercial cycles.

Chrysler’s specification of 0W-40 is designed to provide consistent oil flow and engine protection, regardless of climate, minimizing the risk of critical wear and sludge formation. Always check your owner’s manual and stick to the recommended oil type for your Ram 4500 PICKUP.

2022 Ram 4500 PICKUP Oil Capacity

The 6.4L engine in your 2022 Ram 4500 PICKUP holds 7 quarts of engine oil (including oil filter replacement). After performing your oil change, always use the dipstick to verify levels, adding oil gradually to avoid overfilling.

What if you overfill? Too much oil can cause foaming, increased crankcase pressure, or even oil leaks and engine damage. Always double-check the dipstick after your oil change, and don’t exceed the maximum mark.

How Often Should You Change the Oil on a 2022 Ram 4500 PICKUP?

Oil change interval is key to protecting your 6.4L engine. For the 2022 Ram 4500 PICKUP:

• Full Synthetic Oil: Change every 7,500 miles or 12 months—whichever comes first, under normal driving conditions.
• Severe Service: If you’re towing, idling frequently, or driving in extreme temperatures, change oil every 5,000 miles.

While full synthetic oil extends the interval, conventional oil (not recommended for this model) would require a shorter schedule. Some warning signs may mean you need an early oil change—read on to find out more.

Oil Filter for the 2022 Ram 4500 PICKUP

The oil filter is crucial for preventing dirt and metal particles from circulating through your engine. Using a quality, OEM-spec filter like the Costa Oil COF2222 ensures optimal protection and oil flow rate. Inferior or generic filters may allow contaminants through—or restrict oil pressure, impacting engine health.

When you visit Costa Oil, we use only filters that meet or exceed manufacturer specs and can also provide top-tier air and cabin filters: Costa Oil Air Filter and Costa Oil Cabin Air Filter—perfect for your Ram 4500 PICKUP.
