Cold starts, short trips, stop‑and‑go on Route 114, towing, and spirited driving all count as severe duty and justify shorter intervals. Following the OEM schedule keeps the 5.7L V8 protected year‑round and supports warranty compliance.

• Shorten intervals for frequent cold starts and short hops
• Track service dates/miles to document maintenance
• Book ahead: schedule service

Use 5W‑20 full‑synthetic oil that meets FCA MS‑6395 specifications for the 5.7L V8.

This viscosity balances cold‑start pumpability with high‑temperature protection—important for New England winters and summer heat. Always verify your owner’s manual and oil-fill cap for spec confirmation, then choose an OEM‑spec oil and Mopar‑quality filter.

• Viscosity: 5W‑20, FCA MS‑6395 compliant
• Full synthetic recommended for durability and cleanliness
• Quality filter helps maintain correct oil pressure and flow

The 5.7L V8 typically requires 7.0 quarts of oil with a filter change.

Capacity can vary slightly by filter used and drain time. After refilling, run the engine briefly, then recheck and top off to the dipstick’s full mark on level ground. Using the correct capacity prevents aeration and ensures stable oil pressure.

• Target fill: ~7.0 quarts with filter
• Verify on dipstick after engine warm‑up and cool‑down
• Dispose of used oil and filter responsibly

Yes—dealer service uses OEM-spec oil and a Mopar-quality filter, and includes a documented multi‑point inspection.

Quick‑lube shops may be cheaper for basic oil, but our Danvers team follows FCA specs, applies software updates when applicable, and records maintenance to support warranty claims. You decide based on priorities: cost alone vs. OEM parts, documentation, and model‑specific expertise.

• OEM‑spec oil/filter and torque procedures
• Inspection, fluid top‑offs, disposal included
• Service history tied to your VIN for future resale/warranty

Missing required oil changes can lead to denied warranty coverage if an engine issue is linked to lack of maintenance.

Follow the OEM maintenance schedule and keep records (receipts, dates, mileage). Warranty work generally requires a certified facility, and accurate documentation helps protect your coverage. If you track severe driving in Danvers, shorten intervals to stay within guidelines.

• Keep invoices showing oil type, viscosity, and mileage
• Follow severe‑duty intervals for short trips and cold starts
• Schedule with a certified team: schedule service

Full synthetic resists heat, reduces deposits, and flows better in cold starts than conventional, offering broader protection for the 5.7L V8.

Synthetic blends improve on conventional but don’t match full synthetic’s stability—useful in New England’s temperature swings. Since this engine benefits from clean, stable lubrication, an OEM‑spec full synthetic meeting FCA MS‑6395 is the smart choice.

• Full synthetic: best for cold‑start and high‑temp protection
• Blend: middle ground on protection and price
• Conventional: adequate but less resistant to oxidation

Our technicians follow FCA procedures and use genuine Mopar and OEM parts to maintain consistency and documentation.

The 2018 Dodge Challenger’s 5.7L V8 is best served by 5W‑20 full‑synthetic oil that meets FCA MS‑6395, paired with a Mopar‑quality oil filter calibrated for this engine’s pressure and flow characteristics. Capacity is approximately 7.0 quarts with a filter change; always verify on the dipstick after refill and a brief run‑in.
