Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Ram 1500
Ancira Ram – Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Ram 1500
Your RAM 1500 is engineered to work hard, tow confidently, and deliver everyday comfort, and the best way to keep it that way is a maintenance plan you can follow with confidence. At Ancira Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, serving San Antonio, TX, we make it simple with factory-trained technicians, Mopar parts, and convenient scheduling that fits your week. Whether your truck runs the 3.6L Pentastar V6, 5.7L HEMI V8, or an eTorque configuration, the fundamentals remain the same—regular fluid service, tire care, system inspections, and software updates keep performance, efficiency, and warranty coverage on track. Use the roadmap below as a general guide, then lean on our advisors for engine-specific intervals and driving-condition adjustments. If your RAM 1500 tows, idles in heat, or sees dusty job sites, you may need shorter intervals. Always follow the Oil Life Monitor and your owner’s manual for the final word. Our team can track your visits, send reminders, and bundle services to minimize downtime, so your truck is ready for jobsite duty on Monday and family duty by Friday. We also complete multi-point inspections at each visit to catch small issues early and help you plan ahead for upcoming services.

When you visit our service center, every appointment includes a thorough multi-point inspection that checks critical safety systems—brakes, steering, suspension, and tires—plus battery health and any open recalls or campaigns. We use diagnostic equipment calibrated to your truck, perform precision alignments on racks sized for half-ton pickups, and torque wheels to spec after rotations. Genuine Mopar fluids and filters help maintain original performance, and our digital records document care for future resale. Planning a road trip, new tires, or an accessory install like a trailer brake controller or bed step? We can complete everything in one visit. Recommendations here are general; intervals vary by model year, engine, and usage. Please consult your owner’s manual and contact the manufacturer or our team for details tailored to your truck.
