What kind of gas does a Dodge Avenger take?
The Dodge Avenger generally uses regular unleaded gasoline with 87 octane as the standard fuel. This applies to the common engine options used in models from 2007 to 2014. Always confirm with your owner's manual or the fuel door sticker for your exact vehicle.
Across its production years, the Avenger was offered with at least a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and, in some models, a larger V6. In both configurations, regular unleaded gasoline (87 octane) is suitable and no premium fuel is typically required. Using a higher-octane fuel won't provide noticeable benefits unless the manual or the vehicle's knock sensor demands it for specific conditions.
Engine options and fuel requirements
To help you verify, here are the typical engines and their fuel recommendations.
- 2.4L World Gas Engine (I4): Regular unleaded gasoline with 87 octane is suitable; premium is not required.
- 3.5L V6: Regular unleaded gasoline with 87 octane is suitable; premium is not required, though you should consult the owner's manual for any octane-specific notes related to towing or severe operating conditions.
Conclusion: For the vast majority of Dodge Avenger owners, 87 octane regular gasoline is the correct choice. If you’re unsure or have a vehicle with a different configuration, check the owner's manual or the fuel-filler door label for the exact requirement.
Summary
Most Dodge Avengers take regular unleaded gasoline (87 octane). Engine options like the 2.4L I4 and 3.5L V6 share this requirement, but always verify your specific model/year to be certain.
