What kind of Oil, Oil Filter, Antifreeze to buy?

I have a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2L V8





If I was to change the oil myself, in general, what kind of oil, oil filter should I buy?





Also, I need to add more engine coolant. What kind of engine coolant typically is best for this kind of truck? The antifreeze that's in there now is green...

I personally use ';Prestone'; coolant, dilutted 50/50 with


water, and a ';Fram'; oil filter with a quality 10w30 oil.


Prestone coolant is green, make sure you dilute it 50/50


with water. You can also buy the coolant already pre-mixed


for you. It will say pre-mixed 50/50.
It's probably not worth doing yourself. You won't save that much. And you should NEVER dump antifreeze down storm drains.





The easy way to do this if you do want to do it yourself, is to go to your local National Chain Auto Supply store like Napa, tell them what you have and they will look everything up for you.





There are different ';weights'; of oil for different seasons and the age of your engine does play a small role in Oil Selection.





Spend extra on a quality filter as the filter does the real job of protecting your engine if you miss recommended oil changes.
Green coolant. Oil depends on your climate. If you are not in the ';Great White'; North, I'd use a diesel oil. Any 15W-40 will keep that engine spinning until the wheels fall off.
