How Often to Change 2009 Dodge Challenger Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Dodge Challenger’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2009 Challenger’s oil should be changed according to Dodge’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Challenger in the above table. Outside of Dodge-recommended oil change intervals, your Challenger may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Dodge if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Dodge Challenger. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What Type of Oil Does My Dodge Challenger Need?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2009 Dodge Challenger motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Dodge has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 2009 Dodge Challenger vehicles. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, maintain proper engine temperature, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. During an oil change, an auto technician will change your Challenger’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can drive easy knowing that we strive to do what's best for your vehicle and take into account your driving preferences, and odometer.

2009 Dodge Challenger Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Dodge Challenger motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Dodge Challenger engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change Dodge Challenger oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Dodge exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Dodge Challenger? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Dodge Challenger oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Dodge Challenger to illuminate? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Dodge Challenger oil change reminder light.

  • Do I need to replace my Challenger’s oil filter when changing my oil? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Dodge Challenger every time you change the oil.
