Ram TRX Oil Change Tutorial 

Agreed, two hands would of been great if I had a camera man!

If I had to guess it was mabye tighten to just a few lbs!

Mine was loose as well

Great truck and build quality, far more superior than any Ford product in terms or interior and power. Its also proving to hold its value better than the Raptor. There is no comparison between the two!.... However the fuel consumption is very real Hahaha!

Mo, if you don’t know the clear striking difference between the 2 trucks, please do not waste your money. You will never appreciate trx or do your diligent research.

I don't see a purpose to use the srt oil filter as this Mopar filter meets the same spec as the SRT filter(also mopar) I also change my oil more frequently, and you should definitely drain the oil cooler as it's part of the service.

@@superbrowndudenational_trx Cut open the Mopar one. VS's the SRT ( 5038041AA ) one, big difference. Plus Hellcats motors are suppose to us one. I use the SRT one. On my 2021 Ram 1500 Limited Longhorn with the 5.7L Hemi.

No TRX comes with a SRT oil filter, didn't see a reason to use one. I'm not worried about it as I change the oil frequently and use a catch can.

Hi, seeing you drained the oil cooler, but I didnt see you refil the oil cooler back in. Why? and which oil did u use for the cooler?​@superbrowndudenational_trx

@ThePasserGenius The oil cooler gets refilled from the engine, after the engine starts the oil cooler will be filled. It does not require any additional oil added from a second location.

I hear ya man, it's cheaper as well to! Just keep your receipts for warranty!

Lol yah it's a pain in the butt!

I just did! But it sucked

These trucks aren't to bad, if you have a spring cup, and extension it will make it eaiser to.

@@superbrowndudenational_trx Getting ready for my first oil and filter change. Just got my aftermarket ECM installed and hooked up my tuner. Will get back to you after oil change.

Thanks for the update!

Did you get it done?

@@superbrowndudenational_trx Sure did!

Don't forget to reset the oil light! Cause I always do lol!

Hey John that sounds like it's going to be a killer build. I can take a video this weekend and try to measure it for you. Do you have Instagram? You can message me directly there if you like.

You're welcome sir 😀

Your right about that drip tray, definitely helps. Luckily nothing has changed for the final year of production 2024. So your good to go!

I’m confused to why there’s a oil cooler drain

The oil cooler will get filled by the engine oil after the engine is started up.

All Hellcats have the drain on the oil cooler

@@superbrowndudenational_trx I see, so you you drain it after every oil change?

It's part of the oil change and should be done to ensure all the old oil is out the vehicle.

I got them from my shop software for our truck. Which would be the same values located in the owners manual.

@@superbrowndudenational_trx Ok thanks for the reply! I just picked up my TRX last week and will do my own oil changes. I always like to have a service manual but I haven't found one yet for the TRX. Thanks for posting the video!

For sure buddy! Have fun with it!

The 0w40 is what the engine requires to maintain the warranty. I perfer to use the Pennzoil platinum as it's also used from the factory!

The brand shouldn't matter, did you use the specified weight of oil 0w40? Are you sure they are metal shavings on the dipstick? If you can, drain the oil, check it with a magnet, cut open the oil filter as well.

@@superbrowndudenational_trx yes sir its 0w40. Been parked for almost a month now, do not want to risk it due to no more warranty. 2021 trx with 13xxx thousand miles, also the check engine light came on for the Low coolant, i have topped coolant off and light is still on. I've only been doing research on RU-vid but there isn't much info about this trucks. I will check it either this week or next week with a magnet, and getting specifically srt oil and fileter from coparts. Oil still looking honey colored with shiny debris. it was my sunday truck with the family 🤷🏻‍♂️ idk what's going on with it. Very disappointed

Thanks man, just take your time and have all you tools and supplies laid out. You can do it!

Draining the oil cooler is part of the oil change and 100% necessary.

Lol yah I bent the shit out of the skid plate that covers the front diff. The irony was it happened on snow during winter Lapping! There's so nice aftermarket ones for our trucks out there to!

Since you bent the skid plate during normal operations, wouldn't the warranty cover a replacement?

@@KevinSmith-bg9tt i have ordered a frame cut bumper from evil mfgr so it doesn't happen again

Yah it was quite dark, I've seen worse. Still a bit surprised tho!

Yes that filter will work for you, if it's the first oil change you may want to get a filter wrench as it will be very tight. Just a bit awkward is all! Have fun and good luck!

Thanks man! I called my Ram dealer with the oil filter part number and he couldn’t even find it. He said it wouldn’t work in the TRX. I’ll get one of the wrenches! Do you happen to know the size/# of flutes?

It should work with all the 6.2 SRT motors, I do not recall how many flutes. I would buy a small and large wrench and return whichever one you didn't use.

Glad this shit is helpful lol!

I'm glad you found it helpful 😊

You're welcome, enjoy!
