The 2019 Dodge Charger uses a full synthetic oil sae 5w-20 and has A7-quart capacity. When performing an oil change on the car You will first want to make sure that the vehicle has been parked and off for a couple of hours. Otherwise, the oil in the car will be very hot and You could burn Yourself.

The 2014 Dodge Charger useS6 quarts of oil in the 3.6L V6 engine model, and 7 quarts in the 5.7L V8 engine model. Dodge recommends using fully synthetic SAE 5W-30 oil whenever You need to change it.

How often does a Dodge Charger need an Oil Change? Synthetic oil usually should be changed every 7,500 – 10,000 miles. Dodge recommends getting your Dodge Charger oil & filter changed every 3,000-5,000 miles for conventional oil.

What Actually Happens When You Mix 5W30 with 5W20? Nothing serious is going to happen. The oils will come together, but they are unlikely to blend into a single oil; so, they’d stay and flow separately.

5W-30 and 5W-20 motor oil both feature the same winter rating. This means that both grades exhibit the same viscosity under cold conditions. You also risk engine damage when using 5W-30 instead of 5W-20, as the internal engine components are specifically designed to be used with 5W-20 motor oil.

5w30 is by far the most common on the market. However, the lower viscosity version, 5w20, is also recommended by many vehicle manufacturers. 5w20 can provide better protection in climates with lower temperatures as the lower viscosity will improve oil movement in freezing conditions.

Originally Answered: Can I put 10w30 instead of 5w20? You can, but you will get worse mileage, and in most cases shorten the life of your engine, as it will take longer to pump up pressure for your bearings and lifters, and won’t spray your lower cylinders for an extra second or so on each cold start.

10w30 is thicker than 5w30 because it has a higher viscosity in low temperatures. The engine oil will flow slower than 5w30 during the cold season. Thicker oil offers better lubrication of motor and engine parts.

The motor oil is categorized according to its viscosity. There are hundreds of oils but 10w30 and 5w20 are the most common of all. The 10w30 type is the thicker one and 5w20 is the thinner.

If your vehicle requires 0W-20 weight oil and you use as much heavier weight 10W-30 the oil will not flow quickly enough to fill the spaces between the crank journals and main bearings while the engine is running. The oil won’t form a consistent lubricating film, allowing metal-to-metal contact and wear.

And a 10W40 would invalidate your warranty… just so you know. In a 5W20 engine. You could use a 0W20 oil (I use 0W20 oil) in cold weather and it would be Ok by Ford. (they will not say it is good, but they will still honor the warranty..)

Newer vehicles can utilize thinner oils for faster lubrication of new engine parts. In contrast, older, high-mileage engines benefit from thicker oils to prevent friction and oil loss.

For 10w40 motor oils, they tend to be a bit thicker than the 5w40 but still, rather thin and tend to work well in lubricating moving parts of engines during startup. The 40 denotes that the oil will be a little thicker as compared to an average oil when exposed to the heat of an engine which is running.
