How to Change the Oil and Filter Dodge Challenger Charger Hellcat 6.2L 2015-2021

[@2carpros]

For all of the arm chair mechanics out there saying I'm the worst person in the world for not draining the cooler. I drained the cooler the next time it came in and like an 1/8 of a quart came out. You aren't getting every drop of oil out with a change. Trust me getting 95% and filter out is pretty darn good.

[@Michael-ti3xx]

I have a 2016 scat pack. I never knew about the cooler. Where is that plug located

[@KingSuveon]

@@Michael-ti3xxit’s only on the Hellcats

[@kuntryboijuelz]

I can vouche for the upcharge on the SRT Hellcat Charger. I had an SRT Charger and the oil changes were $100. Now that I have an SRT Hellcat its been $129 no matter where I went, hence why I'm here. Never again now that I see its so simple and I have the time to do it myself. Appreciate the video.

I just changed my own for 60.

[@kuntryboijuelz]

@@HappyHarryHardon yea, that's the plan bud. Appreciate the info 💯

[@emvx2dumps51]

i pay $110 for oil etc and $20 for the change or i just change my self

[@kuntryboijuelz]

@@emvx2dumps51 yeah I've done that since I commented. Some of the quick oil change places don't have the right type of oil so I'll buy the oil and filter and just pay them to change it whenever I don't have the time. It'll only save about 20 bucks but that can go towards gas LOL

[@JustJman]

This video helped me alot. My car payments/insurance make it hard for me to get basic maintenance done because of the cost, but this video helped me a lot. I can now do it myself to save some money. My hellcat is already a money pit but it’s well worth it

[@2carpros]

Such a cool car! Thanks for watching!

[@chriswalker955]

Dude you rock,2021 chally red-eye wide,1000 miles . I change oil then put in track mode ,it's smoke city!!!

[@2carpros]

Thanks for watching Chris!

[@bobbycone2]

Been changing my own oil for many years. It's just way too expensive to get it done at a shop these days. My old 392 Challenger it was costing well over $100. I could do it for half that and an hour of my time. Just recently bought a 2023 Hellcat Charger and actually can't wait until I get to do my first oil change on her. Bought it with 7600 miles. As soon as I hit around 11k I'll be changing it. I know they say to do it less often but I've always changed the oil in my cars between 3k and 4k miles and they all always last a really long time.

[@MaxwellTheDude]

Great vid! Never forget to drain the oil coolers on the hellcats! Other than that, great work!

[@2carpros]

Yeah I figured the cooler runs down into the pan anyway so it didn't need draining. Since I put in the amount Dodge says and it's correct on the stick I assumed I got it all. But yeah next time! Thanks for watching!

[@dimmacommunication]

One thing I don't understand/hate about some manufacturers is why don't they do like VW/MB that have the filter on top so you can easily do it with the oil extractor without jacking up the car.

[@Summerpasta77193]

Learning as much as I can so I can do it myself to save money 🥴

Nice! Thanks for watching!

[@KB-wk9hz]

Thanks for the video got to see where everything is very clear too 💪🏾 im going to try some royal purple oil and filter

[@2carpros]

Very cool! Thanks for watching!

[@kaehon123]

Royal purple👎🏿

[@kevinhenson533]

Always use a Mopar replacement filter, but I get where you're coming from lol he's gonna keep coming back to you for maintenance upkeep as long as you do the little things the way he wants them done.

[@2carpros]

I would too and I told him that. I'm sure it's fine with the FRAM anyhow. We are doing the old changes every 5k anyhow. Thanks for watching Kevin!

[@kevinhenson533]

@@2carpros it's an honor and privilege brother to watch you do your magic. For that thank you man

[@hachyboy45769]

The manual says use 0w-40 Pennzoil or an equivalent. If you have any factory powertrain warranty remaining, best to at least use a 0w-40 oil, Pennzoil or not, to keep any future warranty claims from becoming unnecessarily complicated. Better to use what Dodge recommends specifically because this is a race car and I don’t think owner is driving it normal with that beauty engine in it.

[@mikeferryman9920]

I doubt the dealer drains the cooler. I think you risk damaging the cooler every time you screw with it. I recommend buying the filter from the dealer and sticking with recommended oil brand.

[@2carpros]

I drained the cooler the next time it came in and like an 1/8 of a quart came out. Thanks for watching!

Good video! Btw… I didn’t see the link for the oil plug washer gasket?

[@Maarrtinn]

Werent you supposed to drain another part of oil ??

[@msbcas012]

Did you drain the oil cooler? Didn't see that

[@2carpros]

7 quarts came out. The capacity is 7 quarts. If there is any oil left in there it is very minimal. Thanks for watching!

[@21_redeye]

How long do you think it will take to just swap out filter?

[@ggonzalez3181]

Fram oil filter the worst for the engines 👎 but thank you for your video and your time excellent 👍👍👍👍👍🍺😎

[@2carpros]

FRAM is alright. I'd go for the Mopar replacement personally. Thanks for watching!

[@chewy98ta28]

With no torque wrench I try to simulate how ever many foot pounds are needed and put that much pressure one foot from the pivot point on the ratchet so something that needs 20 foot pounds with a 12 inch ratchet I'd put 20 pounds of pressure at the end of the ratchet or 40 pounds at the end of a 6 inch ratchet or 10 pounds of a 24 inch ratchet. That should keep you from stripping threads unless you are really bad at estimating weight. I wouldn't use that system if I was rebuilding engines but for drain plugs and accessories I don't mind the risk. But usually I just tighten until I think it's tight enough.

[@2carpros]

Yep. Tight is good enough most of the time. Thanks for watching!

[@rx7sportscar]

Good vid

[@justmedontknowdoyou7860]

As far as not understanding on why/how to add oil to a side mount filter. If you add oil to the filter and let it sit for awhile. It disappeared as it is absorbed into the element and won't run out.

[@2carpros]

Really? Every drop? That's amazing! Then I have people crying that it isn't enough oil in the filter. There is no win for me on this.

[@DuckMcDuckinson]

Have you been using Mobil1 for awhile? That oil looked pretty bad when you took off the plug. Use pennzoil plantinum 0w-40 or personally I’d use amsoil.

[@2carpros]

It's all API SN so it's basically the same thing. Thanks for watching!

[@DuckMcDuckinson]

@@2carpros I’d personally use API SN approved 0W-20 for better fuel economy and API SN approved 10W-40 synthetic blend Coastal Oil if you want to drive your car hard. API SN approved AMSOIL Signature Series and RedLine Oil is not the same thing as API SN approved O’Reilys oil. You’re comparing diamonds to copper in that regard but hey they’re both the same because they’re both strong…….

[@mikeybhoutex]

I honestly don't understand what the onwer's thinkin' with that Fram... Also, was it me, or was that new filter smaller/shorter?

[@2carpros]

I recommended the SRT Mopar oil filter I linked in the description but it's his car so we are doing it that way. Thanks for watching!

[@lamontgray6015]

Was the oil supposed to be that dark 🌑 is that normal with race cars

it is required to drain the oil cooler

I drained the cooler next time and only like a 1/16 of a quart came out. I don't think so but I'm sure someone will be along shortly to yell at me. Thanks for watching!

[@georgejones9308]

Draining the oil cooler is required and you really should be getting more oil out of it than you did. It’s where that “7th quart hides. 🙂

Wow I'll be honest, I thought you would have to remove the supercharger to change the oil like you do on the shakers

[@JW-gs8wk]

All oils are not the same Mobil is a good oil but pennzoil ultra is better the only oil that beat pennzoil ultra is amsoil it been tested and a proven fact .don’t believe me search project farm motor oil test here on KZbin he tested all the brands from high heat to extreme cold and metal wear and amsoil won follow by pennzoil ultra Mobil wasn’t in the top 5 and he also tested did a test on all the top brands oil filters and Fram was almost dead last. Look up Project farm on KZbin and watch

Love project farm! As I said in the video the owner of this Hellcat wanted to use the Fram. I would have used the Dodge part. But hey we are all different. Thanks for watching!

A lot of manufacturers recommend ZINC in your oil now. I believe European oil already has it in it.
