Newby with tons to learn.

Hey everyone, my name is Brian and I just purchased a 2016 Ram eco. I’ve got to tell you I am a bit nervous about my purchase after looking up all the problems but the engine fits the bill of what I need so perfectly. It has 52,000 miles and has had no real issues so I hope to learn how to keep it running great.
One question I have if anyone reads theses is, do you rely on the engine oil life meter or change on a schedule. Any consensus on oil brand? Thanks for having me.
