Servicing And Maintenance; Scheduled Servicing; L And 5.7L Engines - Dodge CHALLENGER 2021 Owner's Manual

SCHEDULED SERVICING

3.6L A 5.7L E
ND NGINES
These engines are equipped with an automatic
oil change indicator system. The oil change
indicator system will remind you that it is time to
take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil
change indicator message will illuminate. This
means that service is required for the vehicle.
Operating conditions such as frequent
short-trips, trailer tow, and extremely hot or cold
ambient temperatures will influence when the
"Change Oil" or "Oil Change Required" message
is displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can
cause the change oil message to illuminate as
early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last
reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

The "Oil Change Required" message will be
displayed in the instrument cluster and a single
chime will sound, indicating that an oil change
is necessary.
An authorized dealer will reset the oil change
indicator message after completing the
scheduled oil change.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change
intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km),
12 months or 350 hours of engine run time,
whichever comes first. The 350 hours of engine
run or idle time is generally only a concern for
fleet customers.
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:

brake master cylinder, and power steering (if
equipped) and fill as needed.
Check function of all interior and exterior

