Dodge Oil Change service at Larry H. Miller Dodge RAM FIAT Tucson in Tucson, AZ Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked Questions
11 common questions answered
How often should I change the oil in a 2016 Dodge Charger?
Change the oil about every 6,000 miles or 6 months under normal driving, and more frequently under severe Tucson heat and dust.
The 2016 Dodge Charger’s high-output V8 benefits from timely oil changes to manage heat and shear. In Tucson, frequent short trips, high ambient temperatures, dust, or spirited driving can shorten safe intervals. If your Oil Life Monitor calls for service sooner, follow it. Our MOPAR-certified team can review your habits and set a practical schedule.
- Severe service (heat, dust, stop-and-go) may warrant 4,000-mile intervals
- Oil Life Monitor reminders should always be followed

What type of oil does a 2016 Dodge Charger take?
The 2016 Dodge Charger 6.4L V8 uses full synthetic SAE 0W-40 meeting FCA spec MS-12633.
This viscosity protects the 392 HEMI during cold starts while maintaining film strength at high temperature—ideal for Tucson’s climate and performance driving. We install OEM-spec oil and a MOPAR filter to maintain proper flow, pressure, and filtration. Using the correct oil helps preserve performance and warranty coverage.
- Full synthetic SAE 0W-40 is the required grade
- Meets FCA MS-12633 performance specification
- Installed with an OEM-equivalent MOPAR oil filter
How much oil does a 2016 Dodge Charger need?
The 2016 Dodge Charger 6.4L V8 holds about 7.0 quarts of oil with a filter change.
Capacity can vary slightly based on drain time and filter brand, so we always verify level after filling. Our technicians set the level to the dipstick’s safe range, reset your Oil Life Monitor, and road-test for leaks. Using the proper fill prevents aeration and oil starvation in high-G maneuvers.
- Target fill: ~7.0 quarts with filter
- Level verified on the dipstick after warm restart
- Oil Life Monitor reset and inspected for leaks

Is it worth getting a 2016 Dodge Charger oil change at the dealer vs. a quick-lube shop?
Yes — dealer service includes OEM-spec MOPAR oil/filter, a complimentary multi-point inspection, and service records that help protect warranty coverage.
For a 6.4L HEMI, the correct 0W-40 full synthetic and proper filter are critical. Our factory-trained MOPAR technicians follow Dodge procedures and check related systems (leaks, belts, fluids). Quick-lube shops can be convenient, but we focus on Charger-specific needs and documentation.
- OEM-spec oil and MOPAR-quality filter installed
- Documentation that aligns with manufacturer guidelines
- Complimentary multi-point inspection and fluid top-offs
Will skipping oil changes void my 2016 Dodge Charger warranty?
Skipping or delaying oil changes can jeopardize coverage if you don’t follow the OEM schedule and maintain service records; warranty work generally requires a certified facility.
Keep invoices showing mileage, date, oil grade, and filter used to demonstrate compliance. Using the specified 0W-40 full synthetic and an OEM-quality filter helps avoid disputes. Our team documents each visit and can advise on interval timing based on your Tucson driving conditions.

What’s the difference between conventional, synthetic blend, and full synthetic for a 2016 Dodge Charger?
Full synthetic offers the highest oxidation resistance and cold-flow performance, which is recommended for the 6.4L HEMI.
Conventional oil provides basic protection; blends improve stability with some synthetic content. Full synthetic 0W-40 maintains viscosity under heat and resists breakdown—important for performance use and Tucson’s temperatures. Using the correct grade and specification helps ensure proper lubrication and durability.
- Full synthetic 0W-40 supports high-temp protection
- Better deposit control and wear resistance vs. conventional
- Meets FCA MS-12633 spec when labeled accordingly
