Quick and easy how to oil change on my 392 Charger!

Tools needed:
10mm socket
13mm socket
Oil filter wrench to remove the filter if a knucklehead did the previous oil change (hopefully not)
oil change kit here: Reminder, you will have to call to order this kit with the MO-899 filter instead of the SRT filter to process an order!

I can't believe the dealer is employing yeawho's who can't figure out how to put a Charger on a lift? I just bought my first Scat Pack Charger yesterday. So thanks for posting this video. As you, I prefer to do the jobs on my vehicles that I can. I knew a lady who brought her vehicle to a garage where they only filled the crankcase half full and didn't re-install the oil fill cap. By the way, no more Hemi V-8's after 2023. Get 'em while you still can.

[@TboneSRT]

Seriously! But in today's world. They hire anyone they can because help is so hard to find. Wow that's crazy! No place can be trusted, it's too bad. But I hope this video helped you, and others! Yes absolutely. It's a sad time we're in. No more cool V8s 😌

[@wesleythompson7]

I know right that's why I'ma change my own oil in my 2021 dodge charger scat pack

[@iancameron415]

I just bought a Skat pack yesterday, so I appreciate videos like this just showing me what to expect during some routine maintenance. Thanks for posting!

[@TboneSRT]

Glad to be of help! Enjoy the new ride, they're a blast 😁

[@johnboysoftware7329]

Better to pre-fill the new filter, and don't forget to empty the catch can and reset the oil life monitor.

[@TboneSRT]

Good tips, although pre filling the filter is not necessary. Doesn't hurt but is not something that has to be done either 😎

[@user-ju7dy5od9r]

@@TboneSRT Actually there is data indicating that it is NOT good and that it may hurt the engine

[@TboneSRT]

@user-ju7dy5od9r I hate to tell you, but in the step by step oil change procedures written by dodge, nowhere does it say to pre fill the filter. All it says is to " Lightly lubricate the NEW oil filter gasket with clean engine oil." And then moves into the next step which is "Thread the oil filter onto the oil cooler (2) oil filter boss". Modern engine oil pumps pump out more than enough volume that it's not necessary to pre fill.

[@user-ju7dy5od9r]

@@TboneSRT It doesn't matter how much it pumps, objectively you're running the engine with no oil pressure which is pretty much the worst possible thing you can do. But to each their own lol, you just looked kind of amateur-ish so I figured I'd mention it. Being open-minded instead of combative will get you much further in life. Have a good day D-Bone

[@TboneSRT]

@user-ju7dy5od9r not being combatative, I'm relaying the step by step procedures written by Dodge. I'll listen to the people who make the car vs someone on the internet. If it was a requirement, don't you think they would have stated to do it?

[@davehowe54]

needed this thx man, scat owner

[@TboneSRT]

Awesome! Hope it helps!

[@funguy917]

Nice video- you forgot to reset the computer to 100 percent oil life remaining.

[@TboneSRT]

Ahh yeah, I never go by that. It wasn't ready to be reset haha. I change it once a year which is usually about 2,000 miles. So it takes a few years for the change oil light to come on 😁

[@1iconicb]

I’m a weirdo too. I clean the underneath of mine while it’s draining as well. 😜👍🏼

[@TboneSRT]

Oh awesome, great to know I'm not the only one 🤣

[@user-ju7dy5od9r]

Did you not fill the new filter with oil before putting it in? If you're being particular, you should definitely be doing that.

[@TboneSRT]

@user-ju7dy5od9r I've never done that once in my life, and I've done hundreds of oil changes and never had a failure 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Vxc6]

You need to use torque wrench for tightening your oil drain plug , on 20 ft/lbs of torque

[@TboneSRT]

Not bad practice but not necessary. I've been wrenching for over 15 years and I've never once torqued a drain plug. For someone who isn't sure of when tight is tight, I'd advise it!

[@AntLive29]

Thank you!

[@392_RHINO]

Why don't they make the drain plug underneath so the oil drain down vs coming out like a rainbow? My Infiniti the same way

[@TboneSRT]

Haha not sure! Would be alot easier if it drained straight down

[@Sonic_1000]

I use the white SRT filter on my Scat Pack. Not sure it even matters.

[@TboneSRT]

It's a fine filter. I prefer the black one only because it has a higher flow rate. Less filtration than the white one but flow rate is important with these engines because they have such low oil pressure at idle. If you change your oil often, the lower filtration part is not an issue.

[@rashedhjeelan930]

Who is 0w40 oil because recommended oil is 5w20 , Does the lifter has sound right now?

[@TboneSRT]

Do not use 5w20! 0w40 is the oil that it takes

[@user-hx5yx7fs7c]

What about the oil cooler?

[@123youtubuser]

What Milwaukee wrench are you using in the video?

[@TboneSRT]

It is the M12 3/8" impact

[@258shoff]

Why did my dealer try to push an oil additive that’s “factory recommended/required” when I read all recommendations when I got the car and no where did it advise an oil additive to my recollection. I turned it down because he said they do it on every dodge/chrysler motor at 6k mile intervals.

[@TboneSRT]

Just another way for the dealer to make money my friend. The car is factory filled with the SRT pennzoil 0w40 so that's what I put back in it and nothing else!

[@258shoff]

@@TboneSRT they had the nerve to put “ denied factory required maintenance” on my receipt for that oil additive, I might have to call Dodge to see if they’re going to hold it against me on my warranty now

[@TboneSRT]

@258shoff yeah I've never heard of that. I wouldn't sweat it, you have proof of oil change. If for whatever reason, knock on wood, you had an engine failure, you could get dodge involved and I bet they'd take care of it. Or just go to another dealer if something were to happen

[@John-mi5hz]

Do you think I should just let the dealership do it for now ? I know how to change oil but they do free oil changes every 5k miles for 60k miles… and I barely have 15k miles

[@TboneSRT]

I prefer doing it myself since I know it will be done right. Plus they usually have the most I experienced careless techs do the oil changes.

[@RougeHimbo]

How many quarts should I put in? My scat is my daily, about 30 miles a day

[@TboneSRT]

They take 7 quarts bro

[@sagirius]

Where did you get the color grill snorkels? I guess that's what they call it. Do they just stick on?

[@TboneSRT]

They're from Merrick Motorsports and they clip on. You buy these painted from them, unclip the factory ones, and clip these in

[@sagirius]

@@TboneSRT ha thanks man, I just watched your other video on these. Sucks that the stock ones don't come off without breaking them.

[@TboneSRT]

@sagirius I mean if you reaaalllyy tried hard enough, you could probably get them off without destroying them as much as I did. Or you can pull the bumper and get to them from the back side. But I knew I would never put the factory ones back in so I didn't care much haha

[@sagirius]

@@TboneSRT yeah as long as the new ones fit without any issues. Thing is I'm weird too with my car, it's a 23 slim body scat charger, I just don't like the idea of breaking anything off lol, even if I don't plan on using it again. Maybe as the car gets older, but I want some of those , don't want to take the bumper off either. Guess I don't want them just yet lmao, thanks man.

[@homeromunoz7223]

Buy filters from the dealer

[@TboneSRT]

Yes!

[@Czecher86]

doing it wrong mate, when draining , remove filter as well, put in the plug as last thing bcs small pressure occurs when you put and starts bolting in new filter.

[@TboneSRT]

I've done it this way all my life. But curious what the small pressure does?

[@Czecher86]

@@TboneSRT try it , plenty of oil will flow out even if u let it sit for 10 mins...

[@TboneSRT]

@Czecher86 I've watched, it looks like just a small splash. Doesn't look like anything significant

[@Tj5XX]

You can use this for 2019 rt challenger ?

[@TboneSRT]

No, I believe the 5.7 takes 5w20

[@Tj5XX]

Thanks , so only the regular penzoil not the srt penzoil for 5.7? 😔

[@TboneSRT]

@T_Drifts correct! But buy the pennzoil Ultra platinum not platinum. Big difference in quality! The SRT oil is ultra platinum, just a different weight for the SRT cars

[@Tj5XX]

Ok, i appriciate the help👍🏽

[@fredwilliams7893]

There is not a better oil except ams oil! One and only oil that comes close. Please watch project farms for proof.

[@TboneSRT]

I watched the video, according to project farm, this oil and the amsoil are neck to neck. I'll stick with the cheaper of the 2 that's approved by the OEM. I only go 2k on oil changes and the only advantage the amsoil has is it takes longer to break down vs the pennzoil which doesn't apply to me since I change it so frequently. Lol
