High heat, dust, frequent short trips, idling, towing, or hauling qualify as severe duty and justify shorter intervals. Always follow your Oil Life Monitor and owner’s manual guidance. Our advisors can tailor an interval based on your usage and keep digital records for warranty support. Reserve your spot online and review current coupons before you arrive.

A 2018 Ram 1500 with the 3.6L V6 uses SAE 5W-20 engine oil that meets Chrysler MS-6395; full synthetic is recommended for Tucson heat.

Using oil that meets the OEM spec ensures proper viscosity, wear protection, and oil-control system performance. In Southern Arizona, full synthetic maintains viscosity better during hot starts and heavy loads. We install MOPAR or OEM-equivalent filters to match the oil’s flow and filtration requirements.
