For the 2012 Dodge Avenger, it is best to use SAE 5W-20 oil and 4.23 liters (4.5 quarts) with a dry filter. Dodge advises changing the oil every 5,000 miles or 5 months, whichever comes first. You may need more frequent oil changes if you regularly drive long distances at slow speeds or reside in a dusty area. Some recommended oil brands are Valvoline Advanced, Castrol Edge, Motorcraft, Royal Purple, Mobil 1, and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. It's important to regularly check your oil level to prevent engine damage from low or old fluid. The average cost for an oil change is around $120 to $130, with labor making up $40 to $50 of that total.
