Welcome to video 34 in our van build series.
Are you wondering if you can handle your own oil changes on a RAM Promaster? In this video, I’ll walk you through the entire process, from gathering the tools you need (including those specific to the Promaster) to following the owner’s manual recommendations. Learn how often to change your oil, the required oil quantity, and the specifications to look for when choosing a brand. After completing the oil change, I also demonstrate how to reset the vehicle’s maintenance computer so it can accurately monitor oil status and send alerts in the future.

Your video on the subject is clear and simple, thank you! Hope you will be doing a video on changing transmission fluid and filter when the time comes. Thank you.

You bet I will. I’m a few months away from having to do that, but when the time comes, I will share. Cheers

Putting a thin coating of grease on the threads makes it so much easier to seat in place. Don’t over tighten.

Great video! Do you have a service manual for your promaster?
