Hi, I got a new 2014 Ram 1500 a few weeks ago. I'm up to 2100km (1300 miles) now.
The oil still looks like new on the dipstick.
I'm debating whether I should change it out at 2500km, then 5000km, then follow the OLM?
Or just run it to the 5000km that the dealer wants me to come in for the first free oil change?
I was also thinking, would it be better to just change the oil out now early and leave the filter on there, since a filter with some particles filters supposidely filters smaller microns then a brand new filter?
I'm just so split decisioned on when to drain the break in oil. The owners manual just says follow the OLM. With my driving style, it would probably run it out to 11,000km, and I think that's far too long for the first oil change.
