The 2018 Dodge Challenger requires 5w-20 oil for optimum performance. It is important to change the oil periodically, with a general recommendation of every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Failing to do so can lead to engine problems. High-quality oil is crucial for the engine to operate smoothly, and issues with the oil may arise over time. One common problem is a pungent burning odor, which should be addressed promptly to prevent any potential hazards such as the risk of an explosion. Poor quality oil can result in engine failure, reduced fuel efficiency, and the emergence of knocking noises from the engine.

    In 2018, the Dodge Challenger offers a range of engine sizes depending on the trim level selected. The Challengers with a 3.6 liter engine (GT, SXT, and SXT Plus) require either 5W-20 or 0W-20 oil. The R/T and T/A models feature 5.7 liter eight cylinder engines that use the same oil type as the previous trims, but in larger amounts. The Challenger SRT Demon and SRT Hellcat come with 6.2 liter engines. For the R/T 392, SRT 392, and T/A 392 models with 6.4 liter engines, they all utilize 0W-40 oil, despite slightly varying engine sizes.
