For the 2016 Dodge Challenger, the type of oil recommended depends on the engine size. The 3.6 L V6 and 5.7 L V8 engines should use 5W-20 Synthetic oil, while the 6.2 L V8 and 6.4 L V8 engines should use 0W-40 Synthetic oil. The oil capacity also varies based on engine size. The 3.6 L V6 and 6.2 L V8 require 5.9 quarts with a filter, the 5.7 L V8 needs 6 quarts with a filter, and the 6.4 L V8 needs 7 quarts with a filter. It is essential to change the oil regularly as it degrades over time. In the Challenger, the oil and filter should be replaced every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. The cost of an oil change typically ranges from $20 to $30 for labor.
The ideal oil for 392 and hellcat engines is 0w-40 as advised.
The 2016 Dodge Challenger should use SAE 5W-20 oil for all its engine variations. The SRT Hellcat model requires 6 quarts of oil, while the HEMI engines have a capacity of 6.9 quarts.
The large Hemi engines do not require 5W-20 oil, so make sure you have your information correct. Instead, use 0W-40 oil for the 1961 and 1964 Hemi engines.
The 6.1-liter Hemi engine requires 0W-40 oil, a specification that has remained consistent since it was reintroduced in 2008. This oil type is still recommended for use in the current large Hemi engines.
