2017 Charger 3.6L Pentastar oil change | How to

[@llomax1067]

I just did my first oil change.....on my charger..... Because of your video.... It literally should have took me 10 to 20 minutes.... But it took almost an hour because of lefty loosey righty tighty.... Took me forever to figure out that oil pan screw lol..... Thanks brother appreciate your video

[@MeanBee392]

Good tutorial plan to do my 2018 Jeep G/C 3.6L.. Remind people to keep their oil and filter store receipts along with a log of the mileage changes were done at to keep the warranty valid and/or for proof of maintenance at trade in time. BTW most people may not have a 15/16 or 24mm socket in a basic wrench set, so the best place to pick up a dirt cheap 15/16 size 3/8 drive socket is Home Depot got one today for $2.45 + tax for a Husky brand with a lifetime warranty.

[@jtmartin7709]

Great job with the video!!!! I would recommend one change to the step execution sequence of the instructions. After starting the car to check for leaks it would be better to check the drain plug area for drips before replacing the underside plastic cover. If the cover is replaced before checking for leaks a potential leak issue could be hidden by the cover. Be sure to turn the engine off before replacing the plastic cover. Thanks again for a great video. JTM

You are correct and I should of made that a step. Thanks for the info/advice! Thanks for the complements and watching and commenting!

Ooohhhh I gotta get that me that socket!! My Vans have always used that same cap!! for my charger it takes 7.1 quarts and I only have two 7 quart pans. I have to do the switcharoo halfway through. that cap and filter makes for such a nice clean oil change. the 5.7 the filter is like 10-12 inches above the oil pan and it likes to make a holy mess. haha. Great Video Man!!

[@MeanBee392]

Yeah that socket does make it nice! O man that stinks you should pick up a bit bigger pan because I bet that can be a pain or a mess switching them around. Yeah man it does make it a lot cleaner and I really like it! My 6.4 is kinda the same way with the filter and it can be a pain sometimes. Thanks man I really do appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@BurnseysRT]

You Got it!! where did you get that socket? the Vans are in the back and that socket with an extender would make it a million times better

[@MeanBee392]

It is a snap on socket. But you can just get a deep well 15/16 socket and a three inch extension that's what I have in the video.

[@kainofpain12]

Just hit 100k miles on my 2016 chrysler 300s awd with the 3.6 and i sometimes reuse the o-ring on the oil filter with no issue (still put fresh oil around it by finger) but great engine, usually 4-7k oil changes depending on oil and filter used (i prefer the xg fram filters sold on ebay and walmart xg11665 i believe but never go 20k miles) and have had good luck with castol edge full synthetic, i can tell it needs changed once i get the gas smell in the oil and oil life gauge gets around 35-50 percent for me at least

[@MeanBee392]

kainofpain12 You could reuse the o-ring but there was a new one in the box so might as well use it but it's always good to have options. They are a great engine and I have no complaints on it. Castol makes good oil and I would also run it in my engine as well. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@quayjohnsonsr.8291]

Invest in a vacuum oil extractor. Not only does it get 99% of the old oil (97% oil drain via plug), it's less problematic. Unscrewing and screwing that oil drain plug over time becomes an issue. Evac from the top and keep the plug sealed. 👌 They're pretty cheap on Amazon.

That sounds very interesting and I will have to look into them and that is a good evacuation percentage. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🐝

[@rackcauser]

Ok so I have a 2017 dodge charger with a 3.6l vvt engine (unsure if that makes a difference) it seems like the drain plug is almost in the middle of the charger, atleast the same spot o found the drain it says only to loosen to drain oil. Only issue is that it looks like something is supposed to go into the slot to open it. Is there a special tool for that?

[@MeanBee392]

The VVT stands for variable valve timing and they all have that but that's what that stands for. That is very interesting about the drain. Are you the original owner? And does it look like it has a little lever on it? From how you described it it sound like a Fumoto oil drain valve. Depending on what it is you shouldn't need a special tool. Hopefully this is some what helpful. If you have Instagram you can message me on there with pictures my IG is mean_bee392

[@rackcauser]

@@MeanBee392 now I wish I would have taken pictures before I took it off the ramps. The plug is near the center of the vehicle. I saw a plug near the front of the car but it doesnt look anything like this video's vehicle. Its pointed to the right if you look directly at the vehicle from the front, and it had a red goopy substance on it and it's right under the transmission

[@rackcauser]

@@MeanBee392 and I bought it used recently from a dealership, it was part of a rental fleet from what the carfax said, but after that I guess technically speaking I would be the first personal owner. It only had 40k mileage on it when I got it. As for the vehicle, I also had no guard plate like what you took off at the beginning, which keeps throwing my wife off because the only plastic guard we have is right under the radiator and first crossbeams from what I've seen

[@MeanBee392]

@@rackcauser It wont be the one at the front. Look up fumoto oil drain valve and see it it looks something like that because if it has the skid plate removed and it was a fleet car I am betting it has something like that for faster service times and that's why the skid plate is missing also. If you are able to get pictures send them to me. I would recommend getting another skid plate that way it will have a bit more protection under the vehicle.

[@TheBrewQ]

I thought you were supposed to take the fill cap off when draining the pan to allow air in to allow smoother draining? I just bought a 2018 SXT Plus with a supercharger but haven’t been underneath it yet. I have always done my own oil changes and that’s an interesting looking filter. Question, do I have to special order the Mopar filter or do they carry them in local stores? The dealerships want crazy money for oil changes.

[@heythere6983]

can you explain something to me, My indicator was at 1 percent, I never wait long to change my oil but this time I did unfortunately , I was gonna have my friend show me how to do the oil change myself in a few days, so I just added a quart of oil till then. after adding the quart, it still read only one percent, which doesn't make sense considering it takes 6 quarts, so one quart would bump the percentage up a bit. Does this indicator just guesstimate the percentage based on miles? Is it not really measuring how much oil is left? Thats bullshit if thats the case, I got an oil change at dodge and it was making weird noises afterwards and now I'm wondering if they never really changed any oil and just reset the indicator, I never checked myself considering I didn't think I was getting screwed but a friend who works for ford did tell me sometimes these places don't actually change the oil. Please give me some info so I can avoiding ruining my engine thanks

[@MeanBee392]

Hey There Unfortunately it is only based off of miles and it doesn't actually read the oil. I would recommend getting it changed as soon as you are able to. How meany miles do you have on your oil? I have heard about dealerships doing that and I hope in your case they didn't do that to you!

[@heythere6983]

well I got the car with about 34000 miles and got an oil change at Dodge at about 35000 now its a little past 40 something I forget what exactly right now to be honest But if it was reset at 35000 then maybe about 6000 miles or 7000 miles on the oil, Im not positive, you think if missing an oil change interval ( if it wasn't properly changed when I took it in ) can be super bad? Yeah I hope they didn't, it really angers me because I want to keep this car as long as possible and would have I known something so simple, I would have been WAY more cautious, I appreciate the response I won't ever make that mistake again. They were telling me some other weird noises when I took it in where normal too, I had another charger, that never made the noise, they told me they fixed it and it was still there then they said it was normal so I wouldn't be surprised if they would do something shady considering they were useless to begin with lol.

[@MeanBee392]

Hey There I think you would be ok (for a short time) some people run synthetic oil for 10,000 miles and that what new vehicles run... me personally I won't and will never do that I always like changing it at 3,000 miles but I do have people tell me I am wasting money doing that. I see it as cheep insurance just knowing it's always running fresh oil and it gives you a chance to check everything else out at the time of doing the oil change just so if something is wrong you catch it quick. What kind of weird noise is it making? That is a huge bummer that they have treated you like that and what sounds like to me just telling you what you want to hear!

[@heythere6983]

The sound comes from the drivers side of the engine, hard to describe, kind of a "da da da da da da da da da da" steady sound, not high pitched or squealy, not very loud either but audible if you just listen without anything else going on in the car. I was under the impression they don't use synthetic at the dealer or as the car comes but you can switch to it, which I plan to. Yeah I tend to do it every 3000 but this time I was swamped with so much I let it slip. -In 2 days I'm getting it changed, you're saying if I do it soon ill be alright or are you saying the cars performance will be alright in general for a little then go downhill regardless if I get the oil change soon? thanks again

[@MeanBee392]

Hey There That's strange that it makes that noise. Ok yeah they might not do a full synthetic oil unless you pay for it. That's good to hear that you have an appointment for it. Your car will be ok and it's not going to hurt it's preformance or longevity. You are welcome!

Yes that is normal. Some oils have more detergent in them than others so in return an oil with a higher detergent level is going to clean more and in turn making the oil very black. Hopefully this makes sense and thanks for watching and commenting!

Yes that is true. You are using a good brand but it you were using an off brand it might have to much detergents in it and that can be bad by not offering enough lubrication but you don't need to worry about that using Castrol that is a good repeatable brand.

Where can i buy the mopar oil filter?

[@MeanBee392]

I buy my Mopar filters from the dealer or sometimes off of Amazon. Hopefully that helps and thanks for watching and commenting!

You're welcome!

What is the torque on the oil filter cover ?

[@MeanBee392]

They say 18 foot pounds but being plastic I screw it down by hand until it is tight and then use a small ratchet just to snug it up. It is plastic so it doesn't have to be that tight. Hopefully that is helpful and thanks for watching and commenting! 🐝

Great job! Impressed with the videoing under the car. Two things I was surprised you didn't have your black gloves on. LOL Why aren't the oil pans rectangular so you can cover more area for when the oil shots out of there hmm just saying. 😊 Great job!

[@MeanBee392]

Thanks! Hahaha forgot to put on some black rubber gloves but oil helps dry hands and they do make pans like that but all I had available at the time and the round one takes up less room. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@angelalaramie]

MeanBee392 oh darn I was thinking of making a pan like that and making my millions.

[@garrettmcfadden8571]

my oil cap on my 2012 charger says 5w30 for oil weight. But everyone is using what I have seen and the manual says 5w20. I'm just confused which one i actually should use. I mean I have been going off what the oil cap says over the past couple of oil changes. Just wondering what your thoughts are on it

[@MeanBee392]

I think that is the difference in the years of the cars engines. I would recommend using what the cap and owners manual says for your car. Manufactures change oil recommendations every few years (it seams like) but to keep up with emissions and fuel mileage. Hopefully this is helpful to you. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Great job

Thank you! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@beezy9028]

What gas you use in ya charger

[@MeanBee392]

I always ran mid grade in it.

[@beezy9028]

I started off using mid grade then I went back to 87 for 3 months but I was listening to some others saying if it require 87 only use it cause 89 octane will not make a difference

[@MeanBee392]

89 wont hurt it but you also won't see a difference either.

[@yungfreshprince]

Good job sir

[@MeanBee392]

Thank you!

Should check for leaks BEFORE You put the splash guard back on underneath.

I thought oil was good for trees and grass. So no field dumping huh?

No! But if you watch Idiocracy you would know that plants crave electrolytes lol! So no field dumping.

Yes it would. Hopefully this will help you out!

[@kevingemar3125]

I think I seen in the manual for the 2018 it called for 0W-40 full synthetic😕

[@MeanBee392]

@@kevingemar3125 Thanks for your concern but the OE reccomendation for the 3.6L is 5W20 full synthetic but for the 392 6.4L it is 0W40 full synthetic. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@kevingemar3125]

@@MeanBee392 yes I see that I re looked at the manual and I guess I got crossed eyed or something,lol one question I have and seen other people have as well do the pentastar oil pressure run high(70's-80's) until the engine/oil warm up more and than drop to a more normal pressure(30's-40's) if that's common occurence

[@MeanBee392]

Kevin Gemar lol no problem it happens! Yes they will run a higher oil pressure when the engine is cold and it will slowly fall when it warms up because of the viscosity of the oil reacting to the different temps.

Oil filter is not 15/16" but, rather is a 24 mm.

What is the exact difference in measurements between a 15/16 and a 24MM...

Good video but you need to pull the oil cap when you are draining!!!

Did you all pay attention? OK then. Now here's your pop quiz ... Q1. How many times did he say "go ahead and ..."? Q2. See question 1.

That's a high dollar filter, haha I just got an stp for under $5 from AutoZone.

It's not to bad but it is more expensive that other options. I just like staying with the OE filter but nothing wrong with other brands. Thanks for watching and commenting!
