Dodge Charger Oil Change Specifications
The 2026 Dodge Charger lineup is split between the all-electric Daytona EV (which does not require traditional oil changes) and the gas-powered Sixpack with the Hurricane Twin-Turbo I6. Our service team handles the gas engine oil changes — and we also service the Daytona EV battery thermal management and drive unit fluids, which require periodic service but at very different intervals.
| Engine | Oil Type | Capacity | Filter | Interval |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.0L Hurricane Twin-Turbo I6 (Sixpack) | SAE 0W-20 Full Synthetic | 6.0 quarts | Mopar MO-1006 | 10,000 miles |
| Daytona EV (R/T, Scat Pack, etc.) | N/A — Electric Drive | N/A | N/A | Drive unit fluid every 100,000 miles |
Engine-Specific Oil Details
3.0L Hurricane Twin-Turbo I6 (Sixpack)
Oil Type: SAE 0W-20 Full Synthetic
Capacity: 6.0 quarts
Recommended Interval: 10,000 miles
Standard engine in the gas-powered Charger Sixpack (when available). The Hurricane twin-turbo I6 produces around 420 hp in standard output tune and requires full synthetic 0W-20 oil. Trim availability varies — call to confirm current stock.
Daytona EV (R/T, Scat Pack, etc.)
Oil Type: N/A — Electric Drive
Capacity: N/A
Recommended Interval: Drive unit fluid every 100,000 miles
Charger Daytona EV variants have no engine oil. The dual-motor electric drive uses a sealed reduction gearbox with fluid that requires service approximately every 100,000 miles. Battery coolant should be inspected periodically.
Oil Change Tips for Your Dodge Charger
- Charger Daytona EV owners: no traditional oil change needed — but the drive unit gearbox fluid and battery coolant DO require periodic service.
- Performance driving (autocross, track days) on the Sixpack accelerates oil breakdown — change closer to 5,000-7,500 miles for hard-driven Chargers.
- Always use full synthetic 0W-20 in the Hurricane I6 — turbocharged engines are unforgiving of substandard oil.
- Cold-start operation in Western NC winters stresses turbo bearings — let the engine warm before aggressive driving.
- Schedule oil changes at least every 12 months even if low mileage — turbo-charged engines and full synthetic both still benefit from annual service.
What's Included in Every Oil Change at Mahon CDJR
Every oil change at Mahon CDJR includes a complimentary multi-point inspection performed by factory-trained Mopar technicians. We replace your oil and filter with the OEM-spec full synthetic oil your Dodge Charger requires, then check fluid levels, inspect battery and terminals, verify tire pressure and wear, and examine your brake pads. You leave with a complete snapshot of your vehicle's health — not just fresh oil.
Note on Pricing: Oil change cost varies by engine and oil type. Diesel and PHEV models often use specialty oils that affect pricing. Call (828) 492-2121 for a precise estimate for your specific Dodge Charger.
