Change Oil Warning
I do not know if this has been posted yet but hopefully this will help folks out.
Today my change oil warning came on for my 08 Ram. The manual says to change oil every 6k but my warning comes on every 2700 miles. Took it to the dealer since I have free oil changes for the first 3 years. Later as I was running errands the warning came on again. Took it back to the dealer and they showed me how to reset the warning until the next oil change. To reset it get in your truck and shut the door. Turn the key to the run position but do not start your truck. After all the idiot lights light up, floor the gas pedal 3 times. Then start the truck and the change oil warning has been reset. No more having to listen to it ding every time I start the truck.
Hope this helps.

RE: Change Oil Warning
My change oil warning came on at about 2,600 miles too. I would bet that Dodge programs it to come on for the first time around 2,500 - 3,000 miles so you change the oil and get the dirty "break in" oil out of the engine. When I changed the oil I switched over to Mobil 1 synthetic 5W20 and a Bosch filter.

RE: Change Oil Warning
Mine chimes at intervals that make no sense. I just broke 15K miles and it first went on at 3500 miles then I changed the oil and it went on again at 5100 miles and then again at 6200 miles. I have a conspiracy theory that is tied to engine run hours and not miles driven. Because everytime I checked the engine hours when the oil chimed it seemed to chime at about the same number of hours between intervals.
