Do not put the SO's 0W-20 in a High Output engine, the HO spec (MS-A0921, 0W-40) is different. Check the fill cap.
Which Ram 1500 model years does this cover?

Nothing in this specification changes between those model years. Pick your year for the engines it offered, what changed that year, and the problems recorded against it.

2019–2025 Ram 1500 oil: common questions
How many quarts of oil does a 2019–2025 Ram 1500 take?
- It depends on the engine. The 3.6L Pentastar V6 eTorque (48V mild hybrid) takes 5 quarts; The 5.7L HEMI V8 (2019–2024, with or without eTorque) takes 7 quarts; The 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 gen 3 (2020–2023) takes 8.5 quarts; The 6.2L Supercharged HEMI V8 (TRX, 2021–2024) takes 7.5 quarts; The 3.0L Hurricane SST I6 twin-turbo, Standard Output (2025–) takes 7.5 quarts; The 3.0L Hurricane SST I6 twin-turbo, High Output (2025–) takes 7.5 quarts, all figures include a new filter.
What kind of oil does a 2019–2025 Ram 1500 take?
- 0W-20 meeting API SN Plus/SP / FCA MS-6395, full synthetic (required, not merely recommended). Other engines in this vehicle may differ; see the table above.
Can you use a different viscosity in a 2019–2025 Ram 1500?
- The factory specification is 0W-20 and no alternate grade is listed for this engine. Modern variable-valve-timing hardware is sized around the specified viscosity, so substituting a thicker oil is not a free choice.
How often does a 2019–2025 Ram 1500 need an oil change?
- Follow oil-change indicator; 10,000 mi / 12 months max; 4,000–5,000 mi severe. Short trips, towing, extended idling, and dusty or very cold conditions all put the vehicle on the severe-service side of that interval.
What oil filter does a 2019–2025 Ram 1500 take?
- The OEM filter is Mopar 68191349AA (MO-349, cartridge). Common equivalents: Wix 57526, Fram XG11665 (Ultra).
