In the 2008 Dodge Durango, the 3.6L V6 engine requires 5 quarts of SAE 5W-20 oil, while the 4.7L V8 engine needs 6 quarts and the 5.7L V8 engine demands 7 quarts. Dodge advises using synthetic oil for better wear protection, as it offers enhanced defense for your engine components and longer lifespan compared to traditional oil. This allows for extended oil change intervals of around 7,500 miles with synthetic oil, as opposed to the 3,500 to 5,000 miles with conventional oil. It's recommended to check your oil level monthly to ensure it's adequately filled and clean from any debris.
