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

SCHEDULED SERVICING

3.6L A 5.7L E
ND NGINES
These vehicles 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 your 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. Have your vehicle serviced as soon
as possible, within the next 500 miles
(805 km).
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.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

An authorized dealer will reset the oil change
indicator message after completing the
scheduled oil change. If a scheduled oil change
is performed by someone other than an
authorized dealer, the message can be reset by
referring to "Instrument Cluster Display"
Ú page 75.
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:
Check engine oil level.

Check windshield washer fluid level.

Check tire pressure and look for unusual

wear or damage. Rotate tires at the first sign
of irregular wear, even if it occurs before your
next scheduled service.
Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir,

brake master cylinder, and power steering (if
equipped) and fill as needed.
Check function of all interior and exterior

lights.
