How much oil does a 2024 Dodge Hornet GT take?

The 2024 Dodge Hornet GT, a compact crossover SUV, requires 5.5 quarts of oil for a full oil change. This information is based on the vehicle's owner's manual and technical specifications.


Detailed Overview


The 2024 Dodge Hornet GT is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and is available in both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations.


According to the Dodge Hornet GT's owner's manual, the recommended oil capacity for a full oil change is 5.5 quarts. This includes the oil filter, which holds an additional 0.5 quarts of oil. The manual specifies that the engine oil should be a synthetic 0W-20 grade, which meets the requirements of the Chrysler MS-6395 oil specification.


Oil Change Procedure


To change the oil in a 2024 Dodge Hornet GT, follow these steps:



  • Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply the parking brake.

  • Locate the oil drain plug, usually located at the bottom of the oil pan, and place a drain pan underneath.

  • Unscrew the drain plug and allow the old oil to drain completely.

  • Once drained, replace the drain plug and tighten it securely.

  • Locate the oil filter, typically accessible from the top of the engine, and use an oil filter wrench to remove it.

  • Apply a thin coat of new oil to the gasket of the new oil filter and screw it on until secure.

  • Unscrew the oil fill cap and pour in 5.5 quarts of the recommended 0W-20 synthetic oil.

  • Replace the oil fill cap and start the engine, checking for any leaks.

  • Allow the engine to run for a few minutes, then check the oil level using the dipstick. Top up if necessary.


It's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended oil change interval, which for the 2024 Dodge Hornet GT is typically every 7,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.
