Getting an Oil Change for Your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or RAM

MOPAR cars often need oil replacements after driving around 5,000 miles, but this can vary. Whether your car uses synthetic or conventional oil impacts the frequency of oil replacements, as does how often you drive. Plus, whether you usually make long trips or short trips can impact how often you need to get your oil replaced.

Check your car’s manual, as oil replacement recommendations can vary depending on the model. Follow the advice set out in the owner’s manual, then talk to your dealer about your driving habits and driving frequency. They can give you more advice from there that’s tailored to you. Most drivers will need to get their oil and oil filter changed at least once a year, and often, you’ll need the oil replaced two or more times annually.

Why Is Getting the Oil Replaced Regularly So Important?

Oil replacements are vital for engine longevity. Having enough high-quality, clean motor oil cycling through the engine helps prevent damage to the engine’s parts, and it helps your car have a great fuel efficiency. If you miss an oil replacement, then pretty soon, you’ll notice your engine won’t work as well as it used to.

What Happens If You Don’t Visit the Chrysler Dealer for an Oil Replacement When Needed?

The Oil Will Get Dirty

Your oil will become dark and gritty if you go too long without changing it. Dirty oil can’t lubricate the engine effectively, leading to performance issues and potentially reduced gas mileage. Check your oil quality regularly to make sure it’s still smooth and light amber to brown in color.

The Engine May Get Loud

If there’s not enough oil lubricating the engine, then the engine can start to get loud. It might sound like there’s a knocking noise coming from underneath your hood. Any increase in engine noise signals a problem.

The Exhaust Fumes Can Get Dark

Dark exhaust fumes are a symptom of many different issues with the car, including problems with your oil. Take a peek at the color of your exhaust smoke every day. If the fumes are visible, whether they’re light or dark, then there’s a problem somewhere.
