  Q: How to change the Oil Filter and engine oil according to the Maintenance Schedule in the owner's manual on Dodge Ram 2500 Van?

  A:

  Replace the engine oil when your vehicle reaches the time and mileage given in the Maintenance Schedule in the owner's manual. Before changing the oil, get the engine to its operating temperature and once it's reached, put the car on a level surface and switch it off. Pull up the vehicle and unwind the bolt that holds the oil fill cap on. Ensure to put a drain pan under the crankcase before removing the plug and letting the oil drain into it. Check if the drain plug's threads are damaed and replace it and the gasket if they are. Once you've drained the oil, fit the drain plug into the crankcase and put in a new oil filter. Put your car on its lowest level, add the right type and amount of engine oil and replace the cap after completing that step. Check the engine for signs of leaks after it is running, then when the engine is off look at the oil level.
