No matter the mileage, your 400 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Dodge recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Dodge 400. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
