The recommended service interval for changing the transmission fluid in a 2021 Ram 1500 equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission is every 60,000 to 100,000 miles.
If your driving style is more aggressive or if you use your Ram 1500 for commercial purposes, such as delivery or contractor trades, it’s advisable to consider more frequent changes—around every 40,000 to 50,000 miles. This helps maintain optimal performance and prevent excessive heat buildup in the transmission.
Regularly changing the transmission fluid and filter ensures the longevity and reliability of your vehicle's transmission system. For detailed instructions on performing this maintenance task yourself, refer to the Ram 1500 Service & Repair Manual.
