2015 Ram ProMaster maintenance schedule

The factory schedule for normal driving. Oil changes follow the oil-change indicator on most models; severe use (towing, dusty roads, lots of idling) shortens some intervals.

A dot means the service is due at that mileage or after that many years, whichever comes first. Engines: 3.6L.

Additional Inspections
Inspect the CV joints.
Inspect front suspension, tie rod ends, boot seals, and replace if necessary.
Inspect the brake pads, replace as necessary.
Additional Maintenance
Replace engine air filter.
Replace cabin/air conditioning filter.
Replace Brake Fluid every two years. *
Replace spark plugs. **
Flush and replace the engine coolant at 10 years or 150,000 miles (240,000 km) whichever comes first.
Change automatic transmission fluid and filter.
Inspect and replace PCV valve if necessary.

Once a month or before a long trip

  • Check engine oil level
  • Check windshield washer fluid level
  • Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage
  • Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, and power steering and fill as needed
  • Check function of all interior and exterior lights

At every oil change interval as indicated by oil change indicator system

  • Change oil and filter.
  • Rotate the tires. Rotate at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before the oil indicator system turns on.
  • Inspect battery and clean and tighten terminals as required.
  • Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, hoses and park brake.
  • Inspect engine cooling system protection and hoses.
  • Inspect exhaust system.
  • Inspect engine air cleaner if using in dusty or off-road conditions.

Severe duty (all models)

  • Change engine oil at 4,000 miles (6,500 km) if the vehicle is operated in a dusty and off-road environment or predominately at idle or very low engine RPM.

Footnotes

  • The brake fluid change interval is time based only; mileage intervals do not apply.
  • The spark plug change interval is mileage based only; yearly intervals do not apply.
