How Often to Get 2013 Dodge Challenger Oil Changes

Not sure how or where to get your Dodge Challenger’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Dodge recommends changing your 2013 Challenger’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Challenger may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, 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 go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Dodge Challenger. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

What Type of Oil Does My Dodge Challenger Need?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2013 Dodge Challenger motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Dodge has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 2013 Challenger. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, keep the engine cool, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. During an oil change, a technician will change your Challenger's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off essential fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Challenger by taking into account your driving habits, and the number of miles on your odometer.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2013 Dodge Challenger

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Dodge Challenger? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Dodge Challenger engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Dodge Challenger oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Dodge exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Dodge Challenger? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Dodge Challenger oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What does it mean if my Dodge Challenger oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Dodge Challenger oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Do I need to change my Challenger's oil filter when I get an oil change? Every time you change the oil in your Dodge Challenger, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
