What kind of oil does the 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi use.?

Question

I bought a used 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 5.7L Hemi and it did not have the owners manual with it. Any idea what kind of oil the manufacturer recommends and about how many quarts of oil does it need. Any help would be appreciated, Thank You

Answer 5

Yea I miss my 2001 Hemi truck, when I drove it it speed up so fast that it can outrun most cars and trucks even matching corvettes. The thing is it eats up a lot of gas! Once I fill up the tank like $40 (it was in 2002 when gas was like $1.89 damn Bush) drove it to Galveston I stay in Houston and when I came back it was already 1/4 of gas tank! I had it for show but for you it appears you needed for work so I would consider getting a regular V8 standard. The hemi I trade it for a turbo diesal ram 2500

Answer 7

Al the answers are wrong. The 2006 Ram 1500 needs to use 5w20 or 0w20 because of the multi displacement function. Owners manual clearly states that variable displacement will break if a heavier oil Is used and will void the engine warranty.
