Whether you haul equipment to worksites in Jackson, tow adventure toys out of Brownsville, or road-trip the family from Lexington, your Ram truck is a hard-working partner.

Below, the service pros at Allen Samuels Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Jackson break down everything you need to know. From oil changes to transmission service intervals, we’ll answer the big question: “What maintenance is needed for Ram vehicles?”

Why These Ram Maintenance Tasks Matter

Oil Changes: The Lifeblood of Your HEMI® Engine

Regular oil changes remove sludge and metal shavings, keeping the legendary HEMI® running smoothly. Fresh oil also improves fuel economy for commuters cruising from Jackson to Lexington.

Tire Care: Grip, Efficiency, and Safety

Tire rotations and pressure checks extend tread life and help your Ram handle Tennessee’s rainy seasons. Under-inflated tires can cost you MPG on I-40 toward Brownsville.

Brake Service: Confidence in Every Stop

From towing a camper to sudden downtown traffic, functioning brakes are non-negotiable. Our factory-trained techs inspect pads, rotors, and fluid to keep you secure.

Transmission & Driveline: Power You Can Count On

Whether you own a Ram 1500, 2500, or a heavy-duty 3500, clean transmission fluid prevents overheating and premature wear—especially when towing near max capacity.

DIY Ram Maintenance vs. Professional Service

Changing your own oil can be rewarding, but modern Ram trucks feature advanced driver-assist systems and unique torque specs. One misstep—like over-tightening the oil filter—or forgetting to recalibrate the TPMS can cost more than a professional visit. Our ASE- and Mopar®-certified team uses specialized tools and genuine parts for factory-correct results every time.

Ram Maintenance FAQs

1. How often should I get an oil change on my Ram 1500 in Jackson?

For most gas engines, every 7,500 miles or six months is ideal. Heavy-duty towing around Brownsville? Consider every 5,000 miles.

2. Does my Ram warranty require dealer service?

No, but documented service with OEM parts helps protect your warranty. We provide digital records accessible from Lexington or anywhere you travel.

3. When should I replace my Ram’s spark plugs?

Conventional plugs last about 60,000 miles. Iridium options can double that, but always check your owner’s manual for specifics.

4. Are diesel Ram trucks on a different schedule?

Yes—Cummins® diesel engines have unique oil and fuel filter intervals, plus DEF management. Ask our diesel specialists for a customized plan.
