How many oil filters does a Dodge Charger have?

In most Dodge Charger models, there is a single engine oil filter.


One-filter standard across the Charger engine lineup


Across the modern Charger family, the lubrication system is designed around a single oil filter. The number does not typically change by model year in standard U.S. configurations, though the physical filter type and access can vary by engine option.


Common engine options in recent Chargers include the 3.6L Pentastar V6, the 5.7L Hemi V8, the 6.4L Hemi, and the 6.2L Supercharged Hemi (Hellcat). In all of these, the engine oiling system uses one cartridge-style oil filter housed in a canister or housing in the engine bay.



  • 3.6L Pentastar V6: single cartridge-style oil filter in the engine bay.

  • 5.7L Hemi V8: single cartridge-style oil filter in the engine bay.

  • 6.4L Hemi (392): single cartridge-style oil filter in the engine bay.

  • 6.2L Supercharged Hemi (Hellcat): single cartridge-style oil filter in the engine bay.


In all listed engines, there is no second engine oil filter in the standard configuration. Other filtration systems in the vehicle include air, fuel, and cabin filters, which are separate from the engine oil filter.


Where to find and how to service the oil filter


Location and access can differ by year and trim, but the filter is typically located in the engine bay. In many variants it sits in a cartridge canister that can be accessed from the top or side of the engine bay, sometimes behind protective shields that must be removed for access.



  • Check the engine bay on the side or front of the engine block for the filter canister.

  • Consult the owner's manual or a service manual for the exact location by VIN/engine code.

  • Use the recommended oil type and change interval as specified by Mopar/Dodge to ensure proper filtration and engine health.


For DIY work, ensure you have the correct filter size and a drain pan, and follow all safety precautions. When in doubt, have a qualified technician perform the maintenance.


Maintenance considerations


Regular oil and filter changes are essential for engine longevity. While there is one oil filter in these engines, following the recommended intervals and using the correct oil specification remains critical for performance and protection, particularly in high-performance Hellcat variants.


Summary


Takeaway: A Dodge Charger typically has a single engine oil filter across its modern gasoline engine options, including the 3.6L Pentastar, 5.7L Hemi, 6.4L Hemi, and 6.2L Hellcat. Location and filter type can vary slightly by year, but the single-filter design is standard. Always refer to the owner's manual or a dealership for exact details on your VIN.
