The video above shows you how to add oil to your 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 Van. Before adding oil to your Ram 1500 Van, make sure that your engine was cold and that your car was parked on a level surface when you checked the oil level otherwise you won't be able to tell if your Ram 1500 Van has a low oil level. For most Dodges, if your oil level is at the minimum mark on your dipstick, you should add about a quart of oil.

This video shows you where the oil fill cap is located on your Ram 1500 Van and how to add oil. Adding too much oil to your Ram 1500 Van can be harmful, so it is easiest to add a little at a time.
