What kind of oil does a 2010 Dodge Charger take?

My friend’s been having some trouble with his Charger. I think he may have put the wrong type of oil in recently. What kind of oil does a 2010 Dodge Charger take?

This is a great question! The kind of oil a car needs depends on the type of engine it has - the same can be said for your friend’s 2010
Dodge Charger
.
With 2.7L and 5.7L engines, the recommended oil type for a 2010 Dodge Charger is 5W-20. For the 3.5L engine, your friend should be using 10W-30.
Car maintenance
can be a sensitive subject, we get it! Some people prefer to diverge from expert recommendations because they think they’ll get a better result.
If your friend has noticed reduced performance or other
engine
troubles, then it may be worth doing a flush and starting fresh with the recommended oil type.
Unfortunately, car insurance won’t cover this type of situation. But it’s still worth making sure that your friend’s
car insurance
situation is up-to-date. From natural disasters to car accidents, there’s a lot that could happen on the road. Regular maintenance can’t save you from everything!
