Dodge Charger R/T 5.7L HEMI Step-By-Step Oil Change & Helpful Hints

[@TheProductionsTank]

4k miles ago I had my last prepaid service with dodge. Today I'm finally gonna get my hands dirty and do it myself. Tomorrow we are going to the strip with fresh oil. This was a great instructional video for first time oil changers!

[@n-power-automotive]

That’s awesome, glad it helped a little. Good luck at the strip!

[@2kshortgod554]

I just got my 07 charger rt its so sweet .. I'm going to change my oil today

[@jamalwalker2104]

I love the rims on your charger. Nice upgrade!

[@n-power-automotive]

Thanks! I loved them too. American Racing AR924 Crossfires.

[@vivioncarr2767]

Awesome vid

[@IjohnnyproI]

Great video. You got much better results than I did with my oil change video. 😬 I agree with changing it early and often.

[@n-power-automotive]

johnnypro I’ll have to look for your video to see what happened ha ha!

[@IjohnnyproI]

169 Design it was not good.

[@n-power-automotive]

johnnypro now I have to look ha ha

[@JordanAddictFanatic]

Hey man, really loved the video. I have a 2008 Dodge Charger R/T and I plan on changing the oil soon. I just had two questions if you could please help me out. What size oil filter wrench attachment is that in the video and where did you get those pinch weld pads? I bought some pinch weld jack pads on amazon but they’re too big to latch on like that in the video so I was looking for help on what size/where to get the ones from the video cause they look like they fit perfect. Please let me know thank you! Awesome video 👍🏾

[@n-power-automotive]

Ill have to check the wrench size I don’t know it off the top of my head. The pinch weld pad is actually too big so I had to trim it down with a hacksaw.

[@n-power-automotive]

Sorry it took so long!

Awesome informational vid man. You gave us alot of great helpful tips!👍

[@n-power-automotive]

2016 R/T thanks! Awesome you found it helpful.

[@RTLife]

Nice job - how many miles did you put on the RT before your last catch can drain? That was a healthy amount in there.

[@n-power-automotive]

R/T Life thanks man. That’s 4,000 miles of catch can collection. I’ve been a big believer in them since having one on my MazdaSpeed6.

[@cheo3030]

Good job on showing oil filter placement

[@jr26731]

Hi love your charger .. By chance are these dodge wheels ? where did you find them ?

[@n-power-automotive]

Thanks. Yes, those are Dodge wheels. I bought them off of someone from the online forum called LXForums, but now they have a Facebook page called LX Swap Meet you should check out.

[@davidkupersmith8939]

The video and tips were great and your R/T looks awesome. I really like your safety tips. Just curious, I heard the transmission fluid doesn't require to be changed from some, while others say it should be changed regardless if it's a German transmission or not, do you change your tranny fluid or perform any other maintenance on the tranny? The company you work for is very lucky to have you. Thanks

[@n-power-automotive]

Thanks you! I have not changed the transmission fluid *yet. Yes some say it’s lifetime fluid, but there’s no harm in changing it I wouldn’t think. What I have heard that’s bad is flushing it. You never want to do that, just a drain and fill is the best option.

[@mannyaraujo1]

2 things.. make sure pit is up on these cars just past the add mark., also delete MDS.. with a tune

[@marlonmejia2070]

Can i jacking process be applied to a 2016 R/T?

[@n-power-automotive]

Not 100% sure but I don’t think the chassis design has changed much if at all so you will probably be fine.

[@SteelBlueBody]

I enjoy watching this video. I need to do some work on mines as well. Thank you!

[@n-power-automotive]

SteelBlueBody thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@mikef072000]

DID I MISS SOMETHING? MOST PPL CHECK FOR LEAKS BEFORE YOU PÙT YOU DUST COVER BACK ON WHILE ENG IS RUNNING. DID YOU TELL HOW TO RESET THE THE OIL ENG INDICATOR, ENG.ON RUN POSITION DEPRESS ACCELERATOR 3X WITHIN 10 SEC. PEACE OUT

[@ChiruStone]

Great vid man, thanks!

[@Fir3LocksTV]

I love your car man got the same color mines is a 06 doh

[@n-power-automotive]

Hey thanks man. They didn’t have this blue in 06 though. Repainted? I know there was another blue that was pretty close, midnight blue maybe?

[@stallion3356]

Video helped alot ! Thanks ! Im the novice 🤣. 7qts ?!? Im still learning..

[@n-power-automotive]

Great, glad it helped. Yes, 7qts, but usually takes a bit more, around 7.25 usually.

[@drewtill9526]

The dealer put 5w-20 conventional not full synthetic in my car, which one is it supposed to be???

[@n-power-automotive]

drew Till I believe only the SRTs specifically get synthetic from the dealership, otherwise they will likely use conventional oil unless you specify and ask for synthetic.

[@ReptarART]

I got 120k miles on mine should I use high Milage mobile one ?

[@n-power-automotive]

You could. I actually switched to Penzoil Platinum since making this video and I feel like I have less valve train noise using it vs Mobil1. But regardless I’m not sold on the high mileage oils but I haven’t really looked into them much either.

[@SaintsAndSoldiers17]

Where'd you find the black calipers? I've been trying to fund red ones.

[@garcia6248]

I have a Rt as well and omg finally!!! Someone show me how to Jack up the car.

[@n-power-automotive]

Custom Dell Pc T5400 I feel your pain. It took me quite a bit of searching online after buying mine to figure it out too. Glad to help!

[@garcia6248]

169 Design I was wondering where to put the jack stand on the charger but like I said. Now I know lol thanks again

[@turo360]

Really good video I enjoyed it, I was wondering does adding the cold air intake void your warranty?

[@n-power-automotive]

turo360 my car is WAY out of warranty, but in general an intake will not void a warrant.

[@turo360]

Thank u!!

[@Fir3LocksTV]

Where did you buy your catch can I been trying to find one

[@n-power-automotive]

It’s a Billet Technology catch can. Google the name their site should come up. Amazing quality but you do have to wait like a month for it to ship.

[@rntjake]

Awesome video, man hopefully you help someone

[@n-power-automotive]

RT Jake thank you

[@DSWJoyrideProductions]

Nice step by step video

[@marcusmendoza9354]

Have you tried running 275/40r20’s or is that to much for an 8 wide ?

[@ND-yp3sk]

there were 20 inch 295s in the rear and 275s in the front when I bought my car. It was lowered too.

[@stevengreco6466]

Mobil 1? You may want to use it but you should tell people it doesn't meet Spec. Chrysler MS-6395 and will void warranty should any engine issues arise.

[@n-power-automotive]

Steven Greco didn’t know anything about that until I Googled it. Looks like its for some 13 and up Dodges but not sure which vehicles it applies to. As far telling people, well, this isn’t an official Dodge video so I think viewers realize its their own responsibility to research which oil is correct for their vehicle.

[@stevengreco6466]

I felt it's worth putting it out there for you and everyone else. Chysler would love to void a warranty especially if the issue is related to the MDS system... Not that anyone should care but my personal picks would be... Good - Pennzoil Synthetic Better - Pennzoil Ultra Synthetic Best - Amsoil 100% Signature Synthetic.

[@daytona5.722]

Great video!! I agree that Purolator filters are a good, have you ever checked out the forum Bob is the oil guy? Lots of good oil/filter info on there. Good tips on jacking, I had to look that info up when I got my Charger in Oct. and had to put the winter wheels on.

[@n-power-automotive]

Daytona 5.7 thanks man! I have checked the Bob the Oil Guy website out before. Like I mentioned people have so many varying opinions about what oil and filters to run. It can be confusing trying to decide on brands. I’ve had good luck with Purolator and Mobil1 so I’ll stick with them.

[@daytona5.722]

Those are very solid choices, you are correct there are many different opinions. My mother in law has run Mobil 1 in her Jeep Cherokee since she purchased it and now has over 200k and it runs great.

[@hemijl8304]

Cool video man.

[@n-power-automotive]

hemiJL8 thank you sir.

[@tonyhernandez371]

Hey are those 6.4 valve covers you have on there, so they fit alright or you had to modify them to fit? I see you shaved the s from srt. I like it! 👌👌

[@n-power-automotive]

Tony Hernandez yes they’re 6.4 covers from a Scat Pack. I did have to trim a little off each one to fit.

[@danielsosa9874]

Its it ok to use full synthetic oil on a RT

[@n-power-automotive]

Daniel Sosa of course it is. I’d just recommend waiting to use it on a brand new car until the break in period is over.

[@6.2_2ss]

What motor is that don't look like 5.7

[@n-power-automotive]

Carol Morris it is a 5.7, I just have 6.4 half covers on it. That’s probably why you’re confused.

[@aaronferguson47]

I was gonna do a video like this earlier when i changed mine lol

[@n-power-automotive]

Whoa Weezy ha ha why did you change your mind?

[@aaronferguson47]

169 Design didn't have enough footage lol plus I made a mess a little I'll have a small snip of what I used in my next video I post soon.

[@n-power-automotive]

Whoa Weezy aha gotcha lol.

[@rustyshaklferd1897]

This is such a joke trying to find the factory replacement filter for my 2021 charger r/t 5.7. Every site has a different number and says the number from the last site won’t fit. 4892339be. 04884899ab. 04884899ac.4892339be again. Lastly 5038041AA is said to be compatible but the higher quality srt version. This is crazy!
