The 2008 Dodge Charger requires 5w-20 oil for optimal performance. It's important to have your oil changed regularly, typically every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Neglecting to do so can lead to engine problems, as high-quality oil is essential for smooth engine operation. Issues with the oil may arise eventually, such as a strong burning odor, which should be addressed promptly to avoid potential hazards like engine failure or even an explosion. Poor-quality oil can result in decreased gas mileage and strange knocking noises from the engine.
