MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

For information on the maintenance procedures for your vehicle, please refer to
"Maintenance Procedures" in "Maintaining Your Vehicle" in your Owner's Manual or
an applicable supplement at www.ramtrucks.com/en/owners/manuals for further
information.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE — GASOLINE ENGINE
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil
change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for
scheduled maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will
illuminate. This means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions
such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures,
and E85 fuel usage will influence when the "Oil Change Required" message is
displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to
illuminate as early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset. Have your vehicle
serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
