Hey there! In 2012, the Dodge Charger needs 5w-30 oil with a capacity of 6 quarts for the 3.6 L engine to keep things running smoothly. High quality oil is crucial for your engine's performance. Using poor quality oil can lead to various problems such as engine knocking, engine failure, and a burning smell. It's important to get your oil inspected promptly to avoid any potential risks like engine damage or explosion. To maintain good gas mileage and prevent engine issues, it's recommended to change your oil every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. So, don't skip those oil changes to keep your Dodge Charger in top shape!

I have a question about putting 5w20 oil in my 2014 Dodge with a 3.6l engine. Is that acceptable?

Dodge suggests using only high-quality synthetic engine oils that meet the SM or SM/CF categories set by the American Petroleum Institute (API). For the 2012 Dodge Charger with a 6.4L engine, it is recommended to use a full synthetic SAE 0W-40 oil or an equivalent. A SAE 5W-30 oil is advised for the 3.6L engine, while a SAE 5W-20 oil is recommended for the 5.7L engine. The oil capacity for the 3.6L engine is 6 US quarts (5.6 liters), while both the 5.7L and 6.4L engines have a capacity of 7 US quarts (6.6 liters).
