What type of oil does my Dodge Charger take?

Your Dodge Charger requires a specific type of engine oil to keep it running smoothly and efficiently. The recommended oil type for your Charger can be found in your owner's manual or by consulting with a Dodge dealership or certified mechanic.


Determining the Correct Oil Type for Your Dodge Charger


The oil type recommended for your Dodge Charger will depend on several factors, including the model year, engine size, and any special performance or modifications. Generally, Dodge Chargers require one of the following oil types:



  • 5W-20 or 5W-30 synthetic blend oil,

  • Full synthetic 5W-20 or 5W-30 oil,

  • High-mileage 5W-20 or 5W-30 oil for older Charger models,


It's important to use the exact oil type specified by Dodge to ensure your Charger's engine is properly lubricated and protected. Using the wrong oil can lead to decreased fuel efficiency, increased emissions, and even engine damage over time.


Changing the Oil in Your Dodge Charger


In addition to using the correct oil type, it's also important to change your Charger's oil at the recommended intervals, typically every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or as specified in your owner's manual.,


Proper oil maintenance is crucial for the long-term health and performance of your Dodge Charger. By following the manufacturer's recommendations and using the right oil type, you can help ensure your Charger runs at its best for years to come.
