If you want your 2025 Ram 1500 PICKUP with the 3.6L 6-cylinder (ERG G) engine to deliver hauling power and smooth performance year after year, oil maintenance can’t be overlooked. The 3.6L Pentastar is known for its efficiency and muscle, but it demands regular, high-quality oil changes to protect internal components. Looking for the fastest, most trusted service? Find a Costa Oil near you and keep your Ram running strong with a fresh oil filter and the right oil every time.

What Oil Does a 2025 Ram 1500 PICKUP Take?

The manufacturer specifies the exact oil viscosity to maximize engine protection and fuel economy for your 2025 Ram 1500 PICKUP 3.6L. For all temperature ranges, Ram recommends a full synthetic oil rated at 0W-20. This low-viscosity oil ensures fast lubrication on cold starts and the thermal stability needed under heavy loads or high temperatures.

  • 0W-20 (All TEMPS): For year-round use—cold start protection and heat resistance for towing or city driving.

Using the recommended oil type and proper motor oil viscosity helps prevent sludge, reduce friction, and ensures your warranty stays intact. Always stick with 0W-20 unless specified differently by your dealer for unique operating conditions.

2025 Ram 1500 PICKUP Oil Capacity

For the 2025 Ram 1500 PICKUP 3.6L engine, the engine oil capacity is exactly 5 quarts (4.7 liters) with a filter change.

Tips for the perfect fill:

  • After refilling, always check the oil dipstick to verify the level reaches the safe “full” mark.
  • Avoid overfilling, which can cause foaming, increased crankcase pressure, leaks, or even engine damage.

Your engine oil capacity is critical for longevity—never guess, always measure!

How Often Should You Change the Oil on a 2025 Ram 1500 PICKUP?

The recommended oil change interval for the 2025 Ram 1500 PICKUP 3.6L using full synthetic 0W-20 is every 8,000 – 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.

  • Conventional oil: Change every 5,000 miles (not recommended for this engine).
  • Full synthetic oil: Change every 8,000–10,000 miles or once a year—for optimal protection and minimal sludge.

If your Ram is regularly used for towing, frequent short trips, or harsh climates, consider shorter intervals. Always watch for signs of dirty oil or decreased performance—this may mean you need an oil change sooner.

Oil Filter for the 2025 Ram 1500 PICKUP

Every oil change must include a high-quality oil filter to capture harmful contaminants and protect your engine. For the 2025 Ram 1500 PICKUP 3.6L, Costa Oil always installs the Costa Oil CCF6296 filter—engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications for filtration and flow.

  • Costa Oil Filter: Part Number CCF6296
  • OEM-spec filtration prevents premature engine wear; generic filters often lack the correct media and fit.
  • Pair with the Costa Oil Air Filter and Costa Oil Cabin Air Filter for long-term performance.

Never cut corners with cheap oil filters—trust the parts designed for your Ram’s advanced engine.
