Oil needed for an oil change

4.5–6.0 qt (4.3–5.7 L)

Capacity with a new filter. Verify the exact amount and oil grade (viscosity) in your owner's manual before filling.

Type of oil

5W-20

Oil filter part number

Mopar MO-090 · MO-339

Common factory part numbers — the right filter can vary by engine. Verify before buying.

TIRES & WHEELS

Lug nut torque

100 ft-lb (135 N·m)

Tighten in a star pattern; re-check after 50–100 miles.

Drivetrain

FWD with AWD on many trims

Forward cross (FWD)

Front tires move straight back to the rear on the same side.
Rear tires cross to the front: left rear → right front, right rear → left front.

X-pattern (AWD)

Every tire crosses diagonally: left front ↔ right rear, right front ↔ left rear.
Keep all four tires within the same tread depth (AWD systems are sensitive to mismatched sizes).

Directional or staggered tires use different rules — see all rotation patterns.

TPMS reset · Automatic relearn by driving

1
Set all tires to the door-jamb pressure (check the placard — Ram and Jeep differ front/rear).
2
Drive above 15 mph for about 20 minutes. The light goes out when the system sees correct pressures.
3
A flashing light for ~75 seconds then solid means a sensor fault.

Torque, drivetrain and TPMS info are common values for this model family. Verify in your owner's manual or service info before working on the vehicle.

BEFORE YOU START

Only reset the oil life after a real oil and filter change.
Warm oil is hot — let the engine cool a few minutes before draining.
Reset resets the internal interval timer; it doesn't change what's in the sump.
