AMSOIL diesel oil guide for trucks, vans, SUVs and diesel engines<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For the 2010 Dodge Ram 3500 Pickup with the 6.7L 6-Cylinder Diesel Turbo (Engine Code L), the engine oil capacity is 12 quarts<\/strong> with a filter change. The preferred viscosity for temperatures above -18\u00b0C is SAE 15W-40<\/strong>, though 5W-40<\/strong> synthetic oil is recommended for all temperatures to prevent severe engine damage in ambient temperatures below 0\u00b0F (-18\u00b0C). AMSOIL recommends the Signature Series 15W-40 Max-Duty Diesel Oil<\/strong> or 15W-40 Heavy-Duty Synthetic Diesel Oil<\/strong> paired with a high-quality oil filter.<\/p>\n

What oil does a 2010 Dodge Ram 3500 6.7L Diesel take?<\/h2>\n

The 2010 Dodge Ram 3500 with the 6.7L diesel engine requires specific viscosity and specifications to ensure protection. For temperatures above -18\u00b0C, SAE 15W-40 is preferred. However, if you operate in ambient temperatures below 0\u00b0F (-18\u00b0C), failure to use SAE 5W-40 synthetic engine oil could result in severe engine damage.<\/p>\n

The total capacity for the 6.7L diesel engine is 12 quarts when including the oil filter.
