well how do you know when your vehicle needs an oil change? see i have a 98' doge ram. i have gotten it serviced in april, but during the time it was not in operation due to some brake problems i had it with. now it is driving now. and stopping for that matter lol. The problem is as it is driving, you would feel a bit of shaking with the truck, then sometimes the oil gage would drop to empty,then recover back to almost full (a line away from the full gage). when tested, the oil stick shows there is sufficient oil (just above the full mark). is this a sign the oil need to change or is there other possibilities.Signs your oil needs to change?the oil gauge does not tell you if it's full or empty it tells you if you have enough pressure or not. it should be your oil pump is failing. you can take a chance and change it or take it to a mechanic and let them tell you exactly what's wrong with it.Signs your oil needs to change?you need to change your oil around every 3,000 miles. or every year if you dont drive it over 3000 in a year.Signs your oil needs to change?Black.
Feels 'gritty', or at least not thick.
Smells like gasoline or has a 'sour' smell to it.
And check your oil level after your engine has set for an hour. Losing oil pressure will cause serious damage.Signs your oil needs to change?If it's dirty on the dipstick, change it.
