Dodge Durango Oil Change Specifications
The 2026 Dodge Durango offers three distinct engines — from the efficient Pentastar V6 to the legendary 5.7L HEMI V8 and the supercharged 6.2L HEMI in the SRT Hellcat. Each engine has different oil requirements, capacities, and intervals. Our Mopar-certified technicians service every Durango with the right OEM-spec oil and filters.

Oil Change Tips for Your Dodge Durango
- SRT Hellcat owners: change oil every 5,000-7,500 miles if you drive aggressively — supercharged engines are unforgiving of degraded oil.
- Towing with the HEMI (up to 8,700 lbs) is severe-duty operation — shorten intervals to 5,000-7,500 miles when towing regularly.
- Never substitute conventional oil — all Durango engines require full synthetic to maintain warranty coverage.
- 5.7L HEMI engines have known issues with lifter wear if oil change intervals are extended — be conservative.
- Schedule annual oil changes regardless of mileage — synthetic still degrades over time.
