For Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 pickups equipped with the 6.7L Cummins turbo diesel, the listed engine oil capacity is 12 US quarts (11.4 liters), including the oil filter<\/strong>. This specification is listed in the 2022 Ram 2500\/3500 owner\u2019s manual<\/u>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct oil viscosity and specification also matter when servicing the engine. The recommendations below use the 2022 Ram manual as a reference. Always confirm the requirements for your specific model year and vehicle application before adding oil or performing an oil change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important:<\/strong> The 12-quart figure is the listed service capacity for the referenced Ram pickup application. It should not automatically be applied to every vehicle or piece of equipment powered by a 6.7L Cummins engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does the 6.7 Cummins Oil Capacity Include the Filter?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes. The listed 12 US quarts (11.4 liters) is the engine oil capacity with the oil filter<\/strong> for the referenced Ram 2500\/3500 application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When changing the oil and filter, follow the vehicle\u2019s service procedure and refill gradually. The amount needed during an actual oil change can depend on how completely the old oil drains and whether the service procedure or engine configuration differs. Do not rely on the nominal capacity alone to determine the final oil level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After refilling, check the dipstick and correct the level as needed. Avoid overfilling, which can cause engine damage. If you also need to identify the correct replacement filter, see our guide to the 6.7 Filtro dell'olio Cummins<\/strong><\/a>, including filter part numbers and cross-reference information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When sourcing replacement filters for diesel engine maintenance, browse our Fleetguard filter range<\/strong><\/a> to explore oil, fuel, and air filtration options. Confirm compatibility with your specific engine and application before ordering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Oil Does a 2022 Ram 6.7 Cummins Use?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 2022 Ram owner\u2019s manual\u00a0lists the following engine oil recommendations for its 6.7L diesel engine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ambient temperature<\/strong><\/strong><\/td>Recommended oil<\/strong><\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Above 0\u00b0F (\u221218\u00b0C)<\/td>SAE 10W-30<\/td><\/tr>
Below 0\u00b0F (\u221218\u00b0C)<\/td>SAE 5W-40 synthetic<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The manual specifies that the oil must meet FCA Material Standard MS-10902 and API CK-4<\/strong>. It also states that products meeting Cummins CES 20081 may be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These recommendations are specific to the referenced 2022 Ram application. Do not assume the same viscosity or specification applies to every model year. Check the manual for your truck before selecting engine oil, especially if you operate in very cold weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Check the Oil Level After an Oil Change<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Correct oil capacity is only part of an oil change. The final dipstick reading is important because both insufficient oil and overfilling can damage the engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
