What kind of oil does a 2014 Dodge Durango take?
The oil you need depends on the engine. Specifically, the 2014 Durango uses 0W-20 synthetic for the 3.6L Pentastar, 5W-20 synthetic for the 5.7L Hemi, and 5W-40 full-synthetic diesel oil (API CJ-4) for the 3.0L EcoDiesel.
In 2014, Dodge offered three engine options for the Durango, each with its own lubrication requirements. The following guidance reflects the official specifications tied to those engines and reinforces the importance of using the exact recommended oil.
Oil requirements by engine
Below is a quick reference to the official oil specifications for each engine option that Dodge offered in the 2014 Durango lineup.
- 3.6L Pentastar V6 — 0W-20 synthetic motor oil (API SN/ILSAC GF-5).
- 5.7L Hemi V8 — 5W-20 synthetic motor oil (API SN/ILSAC GF-5).
- 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 — 5W-40 full-synthetic diesel oil that meets API CJ-4 (and applicable FCA approvals).
Always verify the exact specification on the vehicle’s owner's manual or the door jamb sticker, as specs can vary by market or revision, and using the wrong oil can impact performance or warranty coverage.
