In 2014, the Dodge Charger requires 6 quarts of oil for the 3.6L V6 engine and 7 quarts for the 5.7L V8 engine. It is advised by Dodge to use 5W-30 fully synthetic oil for any oil changes. There are two main types of oil - conventional, which is petroleum-based and synthetic, which is designed to offer better wear protection and longer lifespan. Synthetic oil only needs to be replaced every 7,500 miles, as opposed to conventional oil which typically needs changing between 3,500 to 5,000 miles. To maintain your vehicle's oil levels, it is recommended to check the oil at least once a month to ensure it is at the right level and free from any contaminants.
According to the user manual for my 2014 vehicle, it is recommended to use SAE 5W-20 oil.
In 2014, the oil capacity for a Dodge Charger with a 3.6 Liter Engine is 6 quarts, and for a 5.7 Liter Engine, it's 7 quarts. The recommended oil type for both engines is MOPAR SAE 5W-30, approved to Chrysler Material Standard MS-6395. If SAE 5W-20 meeting MS-6395 is not available, alternatives like Pennzoil, Shell Helix, or equivalent brands may be used.
The first response lists the recommended oil as Pennzoil Ultra OW-40 or a similar type of MOPAR engine oil, with a capacity of 7 quarts (equal to 6.6 liters).
