In 2009, the Dodge Charger equipped with the 3.5 liter V6 engine recommends using synthetic SAE 10W-30 oil, but you can opt for 5W-20 based on your climate. This car's oil tank holds 5.9 quarts. Considering its age, you might want to try a high mileage oil like the Valvoline MaxLife High Mileage Synthetic Blend 10-30 in a 5-quart container for $30. Remember, you will need an extra quart to complete a full oil change. If you're changing the oil, you'll also need an oil filter. A cost-effective option is the STP Extended Life Oil Filter, part #5116865XL, priced at $9.
For the 2009 Dodge Charger 3.5L Engine, the recommended engine oil is SAE 10W-30 for any temperature. The 2009 Dodge Charger 2.7L and 5.7L Engine models should use SAE 5W-20 oil for all temperature ranges. This oil not only enhances low temperature starting but also boosts vehicle fuel efficiency. The oil capacity is 7.0 US quarts (6.6 liters) for the 5.7L engine and 6.0 US quarts (5.7 liters) for the 2.7L and 3.5L engines in the 2009 Dodge Charger.
