In the 2017 Dodge Charger, the appropriate oil to use depends on the engine type. Use 5W-20 Synthetic for the 3.6 L V6 and 5.7 L V8 engines, and 0W-40 Synthetic for the 6.2 L V8 and 6.4 L V8 engines. The oil capacity is 5.9 quarts with a filter for the 3.6 L V6, and 7 quarts with a filter for the other engines. The drain plugs should be torqued to 20 ft/lbs. It is recommended to change the oil and filter every 7,500 to 10,000 miles or when the oil life indicator alerts you, whichever comes first. The cost of an oil change typically ranges between $30 and $40 for labor.

Do not rely solely on mileage to determine when to change the oil; instead, base it on the number of hours the engine has been running.
